Kevin was preceded in death by his mother, Betty Rodeman; his father, Donald Scherer; and his sisters, Laneane Scherer and Jade Ann McIntyre; and his nieces Michelle Debler and Melissa Debler.

Born in Lansing, Michigan, Kevin proudly served in the United States military, working as an electrician. After 20 years of dedicated service, he retired and settled in Virginia with his family. He continued his education at Tidewater Community College and later worked at the Newport News Shipyard. In the years that followed, Kevin became a realtor and real estate investor, building a second career through hard work and determination.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 44 years, Patricia Marie Scherer; his children, Jennifer M. Cannon (Derrick) and Jessica L. Scherer; his grandchildren, Ethan Cannon, Hannah Cannon, Kimberly Cruz-Ayala, and Christian Cruz-Ayala; and his sisters, Shery Robinson (Smac), Debi Chesebro, Donna Scherer, Linda Roper (sister-in-law) and brother-in-law Robert Roper. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews, April McIntyre, Kim McIntyre, Ryan Rich, Warren Scherer, Wesley Scherer, and Tyler Stallard, and many more, as well as aunts, extended family members, and friends.

The memorial service will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 6, 2026, at Princess Anne Chapel & Crematory, 3445 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23456. If you are unable to attend, please connect through live stream to follow along at: https://evt.live/kevin-d-scherer

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that expressions of sympathy be made in the form of donations to organizations supporting disabled veterans, a cause Kevin proudly and faithfully supported.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." - Psalm 23

Broken Chain- By Ron Tranmer

We little knew the day that

God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you didn't go alone.

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories.

Your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you

You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken

And nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one

The chain will link again.

Please join us for a reception after the service at 1788 Moonstone Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23456.
