Kevin attended Old Union Church of Christ which later became CrossRoads Christian Church. He worked various careers over the years; from being on the Railroad as an Engineer, to Auto Body Repairman, and lastly a Machinist at Krupp. Kevin loved panning for gold, participating in Pre-1840 Reenactments as well as hunting and fishing. Kevin was a "Jack of all Trades" and enjoyed creating things with his hands. From carpentry projects, building home additions, working on cars to making his own clothes for Reenactments, Kevin could do anything he set task to. He had an infectious laugh and always had a good joke to tell and will be missed dearly by his family and friends.
