James Kevin McFall, age 68. A kind charismatic man who went by many names. Kevin, Jimmy, Dad, Babaw, Papaw, Big Kev or however you may have addressed him; you were always met with a big smile as full of life and love as he was. A widower, married for 23 years before his wife Robyn passed on in 2008. He is survived in life by their daughters and grandchildren. As well as all the other children that knew him dearly as Dad. In his earlier years attending Western High School, he was an athlete holding varsity letters in wrestling as well as football. Graduating and heading straight into the workforce where he was a press operator at the Courier Journal for 37 years. He sat still for exactly 6 months before he hopped back into the workforce again working part time jobs until he ultimately retired at 62. A hard worker he juggled family life, PTA meetings, Scouts, work life, as well as being a pet parent to many four legged creatures during his time on earth. A powerful man that beat cancer in 2021 is finally at rest with his best friend. Always one to lift your spirits and praise your hard work, there are not many lives that were not truly touched by him. In his memory he would hope everyone remembers what a smile and a beer w/ loved ones can do when you need it. And it's never good bye, it's see ya later alligator. After a while crocodile.
