He was always active as Cub Scout Den Leader and Warren Township Football Coach. Involved Grandfather to Ava, Parker, and Vince, founding "Grandpa's Day Care." He was a dedicated employee to the US Post Office

Kevin had a passion for music, playing guitar and singing with his friends at open mics. He loved spending time in the family home in Minocqua, Wisconsin. He enjoyed golfing and fishing, especially with his best friend Bob Lindstrom. Declared "Mayor of the Cul-de-sac" he was a friendly and fun neighbor. Truly the life of the party. He is survived by his wife, Jaye; daughter, Jenna (Dan) Madia; daughter-in-law, Amy; grandchildren, Ava, Parker, and Vince. Siblings, Susan (Phil) Kline, Michael Margeson, and Julie (Ray) Moore. Brother-in-law, Buz (Karen) Barlow. Kevin was predeceased by his parents, Kenneth and Patricia; and his beloved, son Neil. A Celebration of Life (or as Kevin wanted, a
