Kevin was one of my best friends in college. He was always happy and smiling and loved sports. I was fortunate enough to see Kevin and Sally a few years ago in Pigeon Forge and catch up. He will be missed by anyone that knew him.
Kevin was my cousin and the epitome of a “Gentle Giant”. One of the few guys who was as passionate about sports as I am, and always enjoyed hearing his take on any team or player. Very soft spoken and great to be around. Was able to visit him recently and his faith, strength, and attitude during his health struggles were inspiring. Prayers for Sally and Danita and their families.
