Kevin’s passion for hunting and fishing was as boundless as his love for his friends and family. He found solace in the great outdoors and shared countless joyful moments with those closest to him. Additionally, he enjoyed following the LSU Tiger football team, adding to his list of hobbies.

One of Kevin’s proudest accomplishments was his enduring marriage to Catherine, a partnership that lasted for 30 cherished years. Together, they weathered life’s storms and built a legacy of love and strength that will endure beyond his passing. Kevin was a hardworking and dedicated family man who cherished his family deeply.

As we gather to honor Kevin’s memory, let us remember the laughter he shared, the wisdom he imparted, and the love he so generously gave. His presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
