Kevin Michael Mullin, a devoted family man, respected professional, and an avid hunter, passed away in his home on June 3, 2025, at the age of 73. Born on April 19, 1952, in Savanna, Illinois, Kevin lived a life marked by dedication, love, and humor. He is survived by his wife, Donna (nee Johnson) Mullin; his children, Peter and Diana Mullin; his daughter-in-law, Kelly Mullin; and his cherished grandchildren, Michael Mullin, Emily Mullin, Alexandra Kasunic, and Benjamin Kasunic; siblings Dale, Pat, and Jim Mullin, and Peggy Cartwright. Preceded in death by Sons Brian and Benjamin Mullin.
Kevin, known affectionately as "Gentle Ben" by those who knew him well, earned his Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Parks College. His academic achievements laid a strong foundation for his career with the Federal Aviation Administration, where he dedicated 30 years of service. Kevin's analytical skills and meticulous attention to detail were instrumental in his work, earning him the respect and admiration of his colleagues.
Beyond his professional life, Kevin was an avid hunter and history enthusiast. He spent countless hours exploring the great outdoors, a testament to his love for nature. His passion for history was not only a hobby but a reflection of his deep appreciation for the lessons of the past. Kevin's pursuit of these interests was not solitary; he shared his knowledge and enthusiasm with his family, creating lasting memories and instilling the same passions in his children and grandchildren.
Kevin's analytical nature was balanced by his warmth and sense of humor. He was a pillar of strength for his family, offering guidance and support. His love for his family was unwavering, and he took immense pride in the accomplishments and milestones of his children and grandchildren.
As we bid farewell to Kevin, we celebrate a life well-lived, a life filled with purpose, love, and a quest for knowledge. His memory will be cherished and honored by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Kevin's influence and the values he upheld will continue to resonate with his family, friends, and community. He will be deeply missed, but the example he set as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend will continue to guide and inspire those he leaves behind.
The Mullin family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all who shared in Kevin's life. His journey was made richer by the relationships he nurtured and the lives he touched. Kevin's story does not end with his passing; it lives on through the love he gave, the wisdom he imparted, and the memories that will be treasured forever. Rest in peace, Kevin Michael Mullin; your legacy is one of enduring love and respect.

Hello Donna and Mullin Family,
I am very sorry about your loss. Kevin was a good friend and an amazing colleague. I first met Kevin in October of 1996. Two years later, we began working together at the Seattle Aircraft Certification Office when he was the program manager for all in-production Boeing aircraft. He was a true professional with an incredible sense of responsibility, a high degree of integrity, and commitment to aviation safety. He was respected by the leadership and his coworkers. I can confidently say that his vast contribution to the ACO and the FAA Renton office were invaluable. Fortunately, he agreed to move into higher leadership positions within the office and positively influence the lives of many. I, for one, am grateful for his friendship, support, and advice over the last couple of decades. I admired his calm demeaner and his analytical approach to dealing with many challenges we faced. The last time I saw Kevin was in July of 2021, when I was passing through Billings on my way to Seattle after I retired from the FAA headquarter offices. The below picture was taken by my wife Julie in front of the restaurant.
May you find comfort in your loving memories.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Ali and Julie Bahrami

Hello Mullin family, we are so saddened to hear about Kevin's passing. Kevin was one of the most influential friends in my whole FAA career and life. When I hired in, he showed me all of the ACO coordinator's job and introduced me to all the Transport Airplane employees. He was super dedicated to keeping aviation safe and his full career. He was such a positive contributor and helped anyone who needed assistance. We will miss him. Love always, KC and Jay Yanamura
