Kevin would spend his nights wrestling with his beloved mastiff, Torvi. On October 14, 1989 at Plainwell United Methodist Church he married the love of his life Ingrid Roerade. Together they enjoyed going for walks with the dogs, traveling to California and Arizona to see his brother Mike and family, and going for hikes.

Ingrid,
My wife, Laura & I are so sorry to hear this news! Our prayers & condolences are with you and all of the family. I always enjoyed being able to catch-up and talk w/ Kevin when we saw each other. It was so kind of him to come to my dad’s (Harold (Breezy) Brown) memorial service back in June. It was great to see him and reminisce about childhood memories together. He will be missed!
