Our beloved Kevin has joined our Lord in heaven; predeceased by parents, John and Dolores; sisters, Geraldine and Patricia (William Heisse); survived by Kathleen Tumminia, Mary (Steve Meier), Joseph (Julie) and Martin (Terry). All who knew Fr. Kev recognize his extraordinary servitude - emoting love, holiness and grace - a humanitarian with a charismatic smile and contagious/disarming laugh.

Visitation is at the Rigali Center, Kenrick Seminary on August 12 at 9:00 followed by Mass at 11:00 AM. Favorite memories can be shared at https://kutisfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Fr. Bob's Charities, Regina Cleri, 10 Archbishop May Dr, 63119.

I met Ke in when zi got a job working in the kitchen at Cardinal Glennon . He was always so much bigger than life and smiling and so outgoing. Probably one of the reasons I tried Glennon and Kenrick following his example. He is very much missed but feel so blessed to have known him.

Kevin and I taught at Rosati Kain High School during the same four years. He certainly knew how to keep everyone entertained (but only at the appropriate time)! Know of my thoughts and prayers for Kevin and all who mourn his passing.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin your smile could not be walked away from and your thoughts could not be ignored. You always reflected your crazy Irish family. Thank for being there and making our visits special. God Bless You as you smile down on us! You were always a piece of work. Miss you Man!
