Kevin's dedication extended to leadership, as he served as Commander of the Color Guard for 26 years.

In addition to his military and community service, Kevin cherished moments on the Chesapeake Bay, indulging his love for boating and fishing. His greatest joy was spending quality time with his family, especially with his daughters and grandchildren.
