Kevin Sessions Obituary

On Sunday morning, Kevin passed away peacefully at his home with his brother-in-law playing the guitar and family at his side. Kevin was born and raised in Bakersfield, California.
Kevin is preceded in death by his dad Alan Haskell Williams and father Joe Sessions. Kevin is survived by his wife Kathe Sessions; son Sergeant Brandon Sessions of the United States Army; daughter Amanda Tafoya, son-in-law Josh; granddaughter Ollivia; his mother Mary Williams; mother-in-law Pat Tyler; sisters Kim Bruff (Chris), Kelley Myers, Lori Sessions and Tyra Massa; little brother Kenny Sessions (Paula); along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.
Kevin very much enjoyed spending time with family, annual Alder Creek Camping trips, playing the guitar, singing, songwriting and making birthday presents impossible to unwrap. He had a very 'green' thumb and loved planting and landscaping. He loved being a grandpa to Ollivia and was thrilled to learn about his grandson on the way. Kevin's life here on earth was far too short but he successfully managed to leave an everlasting impact on each person he cared about. Kevin, son, dad, husband, uncle, brother and grandpa you will forever be missed, we love you.

I still feel frozen on that day, Sunday March 19, 2017 10:03am, my world and my life stopped and I can not moved forward with life. Each day I exist, just waiting for you, for us to be together again if only for a moment. I love you Kevin I'll be here waiting for you always.

Dear Kevin,
I will never forget you! You were my first born. You were good at organizing games with your siblings! You were good at organizing plants and flowers in the yard, and enjoyed it.
You learned to play guitar and wrote several good songs (Words and Music). We were all together at Alder Creek many times. We enjoyed you and Chris "picking and grinning" at camp. We had many "Sing-A-Longs" and stayed up til midnight each time.
I miss you so much, but I'm glad you are out of pain and with the angels! I will never forget you!
Until we meet again, GILYHAGD

One day we will sing around a campfire again, Kevin, we will sing Barbara Ann even better than the Beach Boys and we will go to the fair and eat too much funnel cake and you can take me on so many scary rides, I will puke in a trashcan and we will laugh and laugh again. Love you forever! Cousin Laurie

Mary, I was so sad to see your son Kevin has passed away. My condolences to you and the family. Loosing a child is so hard, I know because I lost Brian in 2008. If there's anything I can do, please get ahold of me. You'll all be in my prayers.
