Kev will be remembered as a kind, caring, loving, wise, wonderful man that loved his family and friends. He had no enemies in life, a stranger soon became a friend, he enjoyed helping others and was the first to offer a hand up.
Kevin worked in the HVAC industry for 39 years, his last 30 years with Mid Fl A/C in Debary, Fl until cancer forced early retirement in 2013.
Kev played baseball as a child at Soldier Creek (5 Point) in Longwood and continued to coach at Deltona Little League during the 1990’s. Kevin loved the outdoors and the challenges it brought whether setting his sights on a 12 point or dropping a line in hopes of hooking a keeper, his adversary was always taken with utmost skill and compassion. He was most comfortable on the water boating, fishing, shrimping, free diving for lobsters or soaking up the sun.
