Kevin Wilkinson Obituary
64, of Phoenix AZ passed away on March 1, 2015. Kevin was a person who lived his life on his own terms, with few regrets, and many happy memories of the life he lived. Born in St. Louis Mo. and moving to Phoenix with his family in 1958, he grew up in Maryvale attending St. Vincent de Paul Grade School, Maryvale High School, and Glendale Community College. He started K&K Industries with his brother in 1977, they went on to open K&K Liquors in 1984, and he went on to finish his career at Plastalloy Mfg. He will always be remembered for the love that he shared with us, and how he was never shy to let you know that he genuinely loved and/or appreciated you. Most of us also have one or more of those stories that begin with "one of the best times of my life Kevin and I . . .". During his life he enjoyed his family, beach time in San Diego, water skiing, hunting, camping, and his time up in Williams. He is survived by his children Kevin II, Adam, Yvette, and Tara, his grandchildren, brothers Kim, Kurt, Kerry, sisters Kathy, Mary, Sherry, and Tina. A celebration of his life will be held Sunday March 8th at Isabella's Kitchen at 8623 E. Thompson Peak in Scottsdale at 2:00. In lieu of flowers please make donation to Cystic Fibrosis www.cff.org or St. Vincent de Paul School 3130 N. 51st Ave. Phoenix., AZ 85031.

Kevin and I had some great times together. We both graduated from Maryvale HS, got our pilots licenses together at Glendale Community College and worked together at his dads machine shop for a brief time. We lost contact with each other over the years so I just found out of his passing. RIP old friend.
