He transferred to Mesa Community College in Arizona where he earned All-Conference honors on the football team, and an Associate’s of Science degree in the classroom. After Mesa he was thrilled to sign a full athletic scholarship to join the Louisville Cardinals football team, where he became only the 2nd football player in Louisville history to be accepted into their prestigious J.B.

Kevin was a passionate young man that loved life and all that it offered. He was the most loyal of friends and he had many. His friends were always like family to Kevin, and he loved his dog Bella. He loved football, scuba diving, and a good steak. He enjoyed car racing, seeing the world, and always invited his friends to join him. Spending time with Kevin would be unforgettable. He could make you laugh when you were mad or sad. He had a beautiful smile that you could never get enough of. Kevin was smart and had a future full of potential. He will be forever young, strong, and handsome. Kevin will be missed by so many, but left us with wonderful memories.
