Knowing Kevin for close to 30 years has been one of the highlights of my life. He was a wonderful husband and father to his family. He worked hard to build the snow and ice business for Arista Truck System then in the recent years for Royal Trailer Sales. Some of my favorite memories usually were over food and Perrin Blacks ... we solved life's problems over pizza, dessert, tacos and once over Vietnamese soup which was out of his wheelhouse and later called it pond water.. we laughed for...

Kevin's Obituaries
Kevin David Johns, born July 14,1963 in Bucyrus, Ohio, went to be with his Savior,Jesus, on October 25, 2024, in Melbourne Beach, Florida. He leaves behind a lovingfamily and a large group of friends, vestiges of a life well lived.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Lou Kane, stepfather, Harold (Dallas)Kane, and father, David Rowland Johns. He is survived by his loving wife of 39 years,Robin Johns, stepmother, Joann Johns, sister, Kim Sager (Mark), brother, Dustin Johns(Alex), son, Ben Johns, daughter, Katie Johns, nephews: Joe Sager, Landon Johns,Crew Johns, Jesse Burks (Denisse), and Caleb Burks (Sarah), nieces: Jazmin Marshall(Will) and Autumn Lanier (Patrick). He was also blessed with 10 great-nieces andnephews: Isabelle, Evalyn, Makayah, Joshua, Olivia, Benjamin, Vivienne, Madeleine,Ezra and Eliana.
He attended Lansing Christian High School and graduated from Calvin College. Heworked in Grand Rapids for 20 years as a Senior Sales Director for snow and iceequipment, most recently for Royal Truck and Utility Trailer.
Kevin met his wife, Robin, at church camp during their high school years and theymarried following college. They were married for 39 “wonderful, glorious years,” as hewould say, and he was a caring and loving husband and best friend to her who will bedeeply missed. They built a life together as part of their church family at KentwoodCommunity Church, where Kevin served in the choir for over 30 years. He found joy andcommunity in this church family and in helping to lead worship.
He was a devoted father who loved, supported, and cherished his two children, Ben andKatie. He was always there for them with words of wisdom, memories made together,and his special brand of wit (dad jokes) to make them laugh. He was known for hidingthe final piece of a puzzle, just for fun.
Kevin was a loving brother; always checking in to see how things were going, lendingsupport when needed, and contributing to many special memories that will never beforgotten.
He was a wonderful friend; always willing to step in and offer his friendship, awelcoming presence and share a laugh or two.
Kevin was a coffee lover and a Lions fan (especially lately). He enjoyed playing boardgames, cards, and competing in trivia, where he was considered “the ringer”. He wasan avid reader all his life, with spy novels being his favorite. Road trips were a greatopportunity to try out the local restaurants.
As he neared his retirement, he got to check two things off his bucket list: a trip toEurope and a trip to Alaska with Robin. He loved to travel and discover new places.
One of his favorite things was to plan an adventure, keep the details secret, andsurprise Robin with it.
Kevin was a man of God. He loved the Lord and wanted others to know Him too.
