Kevin was a 1986 graduate of Newport High School. He was a lifelong Newport Greyhound fan, and play by play announcer. An all around avid sports fan, he especially enjoyed watching the Arkansas Razorbacks and Miami Dolphins.

Kevin was a member of the Newport First Baptist Church. One of the highlights of his life was participating in a mission trip to Peru.
Kevin had a larger than life personality, and the ability to light up any room with his sense of humor. He loved making people laugh. Kevin’s greatest joy was making friends, a task at which he was quite gifted. He was loved by anyone who knew him, and will be sorely missed.
