Kevin’s family moved to Los Angeles, Calif., when he was one year old, and he was raised there. In 1976, he joined the Navy and received an honorable discharge. He then joined Teamsters for a couple of years. Kevin then went to college for eight years while body building in the gym. Two months before Kevin was to receive his associate degree in Radiology, he realized he couldn’t do math. Kevin then moved back to Houston, Mo., and worked for Lee Jeans Company. He married Crystal Wengler and had a beautiful baby boy. Four days before their baby turned two months old, he passed away from SIDS.
