Kevin attended Beardstown Schools and later obtained his GED and certification in Diesel Mechanics. He had worked at Cargil in Beardstown starting out as a meat cutter and then moved up to maintenance. Later he worked for Ford as a mechanic in Jacksonville, Rushville, and Greenfield and most recently drove his own truck hauling hogs. Kevin enjoyed fishing, had a passion for being a mechanic and took pride in the vehicles that he owned. He competed in many mud runs throughout the area and for the past few years took up riding Harleys. Kevin knew how to have a good time with his friends but he cherished the times spent with family.
