Kevin loved worshipping at his family’s home church, Lord of Life Lutheran, in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

Kevin and his wife, Stephanie, shared a special and rekindled love story. Kevin’s heart was being a father to Michael and Abigail. Kevin loved watching his talented children perform, Michael in Music, Abigail in Ballet. He loved the family dog, Bindi, and cat, Tuxedo. They were constant companions during his cancer journey.
