The Life of Kevin LeRoy Humphrey will be celebrated Thursday, April 24, 2008, at Calvary Chapel Westbrook, 6501 Schirra Court, at 11:00 a.m. Kevin was born May 12, 1966, in Portland Oregon. He entered the peace of Christ's loving arms on April 17, 2008. Kevin gave his life to Christ, Believed, and was Baptised on April 11, 1999. He was in love with his devoted wife of 17 years, Roxanne Humphrey. His daughters, Tayler Elaine 12, and Kassidy Roxanne 10, were the absolute joy and light of his life. They will always be their Daddy's Girls. They shared his love of racing through go carting, and he coached their Quailwood girl's basketball team to championship last year. Beyond his wife and daughters, those who will miss him most are his parents, LeRoy and Ruby Humphrey; Family, Julie Humphrey, Denise and Nacho Padilla, Brittanni Padilla, Brook and Heath Webb, Blyth Galicia, Lyric and Hadly Webb. Life will not be the same without our precious son, brother, and Uncle Ta. Roxanne's Family, parents, Inetta and Michael Rusciano, Adrianne Gigourtakis and daughter, Ruby Piper; countless friends, extended family, and his yellow Lab, companion and co-pilot, Bristol. Rosedale was Kevie's stompin ground. He loved playing baseball and wrestling. In junior high, he took second place in the Jr. Western Regional Wrestling Championship. He wrestled for North High Stars where he graduated in 1984. Kevin was involved in several forms of racing; motocross, racing at Bakersfield Speedway, and at Mesa Marin. Kevin was a true sportsman; he enjoyed countless motorcycle trips to Baja with his friends, annual fishing trips to Alaska, and never missed opening day of dove or deer hunting season. He was a loyal fan of the Broncos. Kevin carved out his professional life by first running a catering truck business where he enjoyed bantering with his clientele for their tab with a "double or nothing" wager. In 1994, he began a fencing company and built it from the ground up. One could do business with Kevin on a handshake; his word was his bond. He was a rugged outdoorsman, possessed a playful orneriness, a roguish grin, and a soft heart. He never knew a stranger. He had a deep wellspring of friends that he considered family. The list of friends to thank for their place in his life would be innumerable. He will be deeply missed and forever loved. The void left from his absence, immeasurable. A trust is set up for Kevin's daughters: checks payable to: Chris Hayden, FBO Humphrey Family, Tri Counties Bank, 5201 California Ave. #102, 93309. Kevin LeRoy Humphrey May 12, 1966 - April 17, 2008
