Kevin and Mary moved to Florida in 1984, then to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend Rhema Bible Training Center.

For a season, Kevin and Mary had a cabin on the Wapsi River where they enjoyed family time. He was an avid cyclist and participated in RAGBRAI through the years. Kevin enjoyed playing and watching hockey and he was a grill master. He had a heart for mission work that led to connections and work in Madagascar and France. But Kevin most cherished his family and found enormous pride in his sons and grandchildren. He will be missed by many.
