When he wasn't working on the farm, he could be found scrapping metal in his little yellow truck. After his service in the Marine Corps, he started his career in law enforcement as a correctional officer. Later in his career he found joy in working for Miller's Mill Works Inc.

He was a graduate of Byron-Bergen Central School. After high school Kevin served his country in the United States Marines Corp. and later in the Air Force Reserves. During his service Kevin was awarded the Rifle Marksman Badge, Good Conduct Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Marine Corp Expeditionary Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, Navy Unit Commendation, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, and the Humanitarian Service Medal.

He is survived by his wife, Stephanie Heinzerling; daughters, Stephanie Heinzerling, April (Thoue) Kongmany; step-daughter, Jessica (Kevin) Wall; step-son, Mason Fuller. Step-father, Craig Wilcox; sister, Penne Vincent, and step-brothers, Brett (Kristen) and James Wilcox. Kevin was "Papa" to his grandchildren, Katai and Lily (Matt) Kongmany, Aden Heinzerling, Eric and Vera Wall. He was Uncle Kevin to Jared (Michelle) Dawe, Olivia Vincent, Sadie (Kevin) Gleason, Brette-Ashley (Phil) Schmitt, Cash (Heather) Wilcox, and Madison and Mackenzie Wilcox.
