For over 30 years Kevin fought a courageous  battle with Multiple Sclerosis never allowing the disease to diminish his sprit or define him.

During his career, Kevin loved working for United lift trucks.  He enjoyed life on the road as a mechanic and dedicated his skills to fixing forklifts. Kevin was known for his skills and dedication, earning the respect from colleagues and customers. Even after retiring from United, he continued to tinker on projects in the garage, where you could most often find him.

Outside of his career Kevin found joy in many things. He had a deep love for motorcycles, especially his prized Honda Gold Wing. Riding was one of his greatest joys, offering him freedom and adventure of the open road.

Kevin’s love for the outdoors carried over to many other activities; Camping, fishing, hiking, hog roast, splitting firewood, NASCAR and being involved with Cub Scouts.  It is in these activities that he shared his passion for the outdoors and mechanics with his son Bryan.
