Kevin loved being a doting grandfather to all five of his granddaughters. He made every effort to be a part of their lives and support them in what they loved to do. He was "Otta" to his special needs granddaughter, sharing a unique and powerful relationship that warmed all of our hearts. Regardless of your family connection to Kevin, he made you feel important by giving boundless love to each of us.

Kevin was charming, charismatic, witty and wise. He sprinkled his truth telling with humor and he could bring fun and a lightness to any situation. He shared these characteristics as a tutor or life advisor for family, friends and even students in the Upward Bound Program at Roger's State University. When tutoring, Kevin was known for his patience and the gift of being able to describe complex ideas in relatable terms.

The family would appreciate donations to the American Heart Association or the American Diabetes Association in lieu of flowers.
