Kevin was an extremely proud father and grandfather. He never missed an opportunity to celebrate his children and grandchildren. All the way up until his last breath, he put every ounce of his energy into making sure things were in order for his family. He never took a single moment with his family and friends for granted.

Kevin had an unforgettable sense of humor. He thoroughly enjoyed making his family and friends laugh and smile. He never missed an opportunity for a silly prank or to tell a funny joke. The deep love that Kevin had for a joyous life, full of laughter, is what will carry his friends and family through.
