Kevin Alfonso De Herrera

It is with profound sadness and great difficulty that we announce the passing of our beloved Kevin Alfonso De Herrera who died unexpectedly on April 22, 2025.
Kevin was born in Las Vegas on April 7, 1986 to Esther Bernice Baca of Las Vegas, NM and Leonard De Herrera Sr. of Buena Vista, NM.
Kevin was raised and loved profoundly by his Momma Bonnie as he called her, Anna Bustamante.
Kevin was an energetic and rambunctious child who loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and who was often found jumping and performing karate kicks and movements. He adored his pets and his pets adored Kevin.
Kevin graduated from WLV High School in 2005, where he played football and basketball. Basketball was his greatest joy at the time and it set him on a path which lead to one of his other passions, shoes. Kevin's love of Michael Jordan basketball shoes is the reason his first born is named Jordan.
