Kevin Park Obituary
Kevin Thomas Park
March 18, 1949 – October 10, 2025
Kevin Thomas Park, 76, passed away unexpectedly on October 10, 2025.
Born on March 18, 1949, Kevin lived a life filled with laughter, hard work, and deep devotion to the people he cared about most. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy, a period of his life that shaped his strength and character.
After his service, Kevin worked for Halliburton, Beckmann, and Magnum Solvent, where his dedication and work ethic earned the respect of everyone around him. Beyond his career, Kevin found joy in the simple things—spending time with family, catching up with friends, and hitting the golf course whenever he could.
He is survived by his loving wife, Kelly Park; his children, David (Sarah-Anne) Park and Erin (Andrew) Killingsworth; and his cherished grandchildren, Christian, Malayna, Colt, Emma, Miles, Braxton, Aria, and Loren, along with one great-grandchild, Jade. Kevin’s love for his family was unwavering, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for donations to help memorial expenses as they honor Kevin’s life and memory.
Arrangements are in the care of the Mancelona Chapel of Mortensen Funeral Homes.
