Kevin & his wife, Lori, loved to travel with the family; the family will cherish the many beach vacation memories & will continue to explore & make further memories. He was an avid Hunter and Fisherman. Kevin loved to spend time with his son, Adam, outdoors in the fall waiting for that perfect buck to come along, winter on the ice fishing, and spring/summer out on Lake Michigan, salmon fishing. Kevin lived to hunt and fish and his son, Adam, will carry on the traditions and as his granddaughter calls it "bring the Reindeer sausage home."

There will be a Celebration of Life for Kevin this summer with the date TBD, held at one of his favorite places to spend time, his Sister Tamye & Randy’s Farm, in East Troy, where friends and family can come together and celebrate Kevin’s life and share memories.

A special Thank you to Dr. Scot Wilfong (Aurora Port Washington), Dr. Mandana Kamdar, & all of the wonderful staff on the 8^th floor at Froedtert who took exceptional care of Kevin in his final weeks; the family truly appreciates everything.
