Kevin Lee Ball, 43, of Deerfield, passed away October 19, 2010. He was born February 4, 1967 in Akron, Ohio. Kevin was a proud graduate of Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy, class of 1985, an active member of The Church in the Valley and employed by Carter Jones Lumber at the time of his death. He was a 25 year decorated Veteran of the U.S. Army Reserves with service in Bosnia, Haiti, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq. Kevin will always be remembered for his kind heart and benevolent spirit, touching many with his generosity. As a skilled carpenter, he was the first to quietly volunteer his time to those in need. He had a servant's heart and was steadfast in his faith, convinced of God's message of salvation, which now brings comfort to his loved ones. He is now at peace with our Lord. Kevin is survived by his loving parents, Kenneth R. Ball and Barbara J. Ball; daughter, Sherri Ball Newton; sister, Sherri Robertson (Louis); and brothers, Terry Smith and Kenneth R. Ball II (Dawn); Kelly Ball and Cody Broadway; many aunts and uncles, nieces, nephews and dear friends. Calling hours will be Monday, October 25 from 6-8 p.m. at Newcomer Funeral Home, 131 N.
