Kevin Hathaway, 46, of Katy, Texas, and previously of Arvada, Colorado, passed away May 6, 2015, while working in Angola, Africa. Kevin was born December 14, 1968, in Fairplay, Colorado, to Joseph David and Barbara Ann (Putzier) Hathaway. He spent his early years living in various mountain towns in Colorado; then graduated from Arvada West High School in 1987. He received a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in 1991. After college, he moved to Houston, Texas, where he worked for several companies as a petroleum engineer. His most recent assignments involved managing drilling operations at deepwater oil rigs in Egypt (2006-2013) and Angola (2013-2015). He is survived by his children, Leah Hathaway and Nicholas Hathaway of Clute, Texas; sister, Susan Hathaway of Playa Vista, California; and his loving partner, Lisa Gamble and her children Chance and Kalin of Katy. Kevin was preceded in death by his father and mother. In his younger days, he loved to ride his motorcycle, ski and go sledding. More recently, when he was on home leave in Houston from the drilling rigs, he was active in the Lonestar Early Bronco Club and enjoyed tinkering with his extensive car collection. There will be a joint memorial service for Kevin and his recently deceased mother at Christ the King Episcopal Church on June 12, 2015 at 10:00 am.
