Kevin was a hard worker, starting at age 16 working at Subway. Later he worked at Walmart starting as a floor associate to overnight manager to customer assistant manager. While at Walmart he would often pay for peoples groceries, especially mothers who needed help paying for baby formula. He had a very tender heart and was the most self-less person you would ever meet, always putting others first and helping anyone who needed it. He later worked at Wilson Combat where he again proved to be an exceptional employee, starting out as a rifle builder to paint shop assistant to paint shop manager to customer service manager. He was an excellent provider for his family, hardly ever missing a day of work, even on those days when he was sick and should have stayed home. Kevin was also very community minded. He started his volunteer career with the Forum-Alabam Fire department, working as a first responder and fire fighter then volunteered with the Huntsville Fire department for several years and then moved to Kingston with his beautiful wife Patty where he volunteered on the Kingston Fire department, serving as assistant chief, until his passing. He was dedicated to his community and strived to make sacrifices for those around him. Kevin was a very dedicated family man. He cherished his wife, Patty, and their 2 children, Greyson & Laykn. He believed in doing everything as a family. He taught his children to help whenever possible. When he would respond to a 911 call his son, Greyson, would ask where he was going?" Kevin would answer "to a call baby" to which Greyson would reply "Daddy have to help people, me want to go."
