William Kevin O'Connor, widely known as Kevin to his friends and family, was born on September 14, 1957, in Monterey, California. He passed away peacefully on July 3, 2024, in Flint, Michigan.
Kevin graduated from Grand Ledge High School in 1976, thereafter dedicating 30 years of his professional life to Indian Hills Golf Course where he worked as a faithful Greensman. Kevin's influence extended far beyond his work as he made a lasting impression on his community, earning the affectionate title of Mr. Lansing.
Kevin found joy in playing a round of golf, bowling, cycling, and cheering on his favorite team, the Oakland Raiders. These activities reflected the vitality and enthusiasm with which Kevin lived his life.
Kevin's legacy lives on through his children, Christian and Elaine Hildenbrand; his brother, Michael (Kelly) O'Connor; his sister, Kelly Ann Bousher; and his cherished nieces and nephews, Ashley, Laura, Aaron, Alijah, Mike, and Melissa. He is preceded in death by his beloved parents, George "Mike" and Doris (Sturtz) O'Connor, and brother Melvin Sharrah.
Cremation has taken place and services will be held at a later date. For those desiring, contributions may be made to the family, c/o Christian or Elaine Hildenbrand. The family is being served by the Mills Funeral Home, Peters & Murray Chapel, Grand Ledge.
