As a young boy Kevin loved to run around the house in nothing on but his Batman capes sometimes with his cowboy boots on, he was obsessed with anything superhero. Kevin had a passion for building Lego creations, and began a lifelong joy of reading at an early age. During his school years Kevin enjoyed participating in the Breckenridge Breakers Swim Club, his St. Raphael Football team the Giants, and the Neuqua Valley Lacrosse Team. He developed a passion for cooking and had dreamed of becoming a chef one day. Kevin particularly loved trying new recipes and different Sushi places. He loved participating in the annual fishing trips to Canada with the men in his family who enjoyed it as a tradition. Kevin loved to fish. He liked the quiet time on the lake and the thrill of catching a walleye. Kevin knew his way around a video game or two and a recent goal was to create and sell his own game. Kevin was a sensitive soul and deep feeler. He was patient and kind to everyone he came in contact with. He was easy going and easy to please. Kevin was soft spoken but had loud things to say when people listened. He was a movie critic. He always had an awesome joke under his breath if you could hear it. He was rational and logical. He was looking forward to getting back into drawing and piano lessons. Kevin was the best brother or son anyone could ever ask for. He will be greatly missed. Kevin graduated from Neuqua Valley High School in 2012 and most recently lived in DeKalb with his brother Kyle and worked as a CNC Operator at Dekalb Forge.
