He was an employee at RPS Composites for the last 7 years. He made lengths of pipe and worked mainly in the carpentry area crating parts for shipping. He loved to socialize with his co-workers, and would always stop to have a yarn or leave a fart and wait for the smell to waft up their noses……wouldn’t he laugh!! He just loved to pick at people!!

He loved his family. His daughter he loved like no other, and his grandchildren were the apple of his eye. He will be their guardian angel.

He found his soul mate and she was so blessed to have him for the time she did.

Kevin was a loving son, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, friend and a very loving husband, he loved life and laughter. He will be greatly missed by all.
