Kevin was born on July 17, 1969 to Bruce and Margaret Houck. He grew up in Portland, OR and was married to Jennifer Taylor in 1992. They’ve lived in Las Vegas since 1995.

He was a larger than life gentle giant who had a heart of gold. Also known by the nickname “Biggin”, his kindness, generosity, empathy and care for others was undeniable. Always the life of the party, he would have you laughing the point of tears. His laughter was infectious and everyone that ever met Kevin, loved him. Some of his great loves in life were his family, friends, Sammy Hagar, Cabo, The Chiefs, his dogs, a sip of good tequila, a Cuban cigar every now and then, sweet guitar licks, the beach, a day lounging in the pool and a strong Rum & Coke.

Kevin is missed and remembered by his Wife, Jennifer; Parents, Bruce & Judy Houck; Mother-in-Law, Sally Taylor; Brother and Sister-in-Law, Brian & Andrea Houck and their son, Bennett; Sister, Christine Abrahamson; Brother and Sister-in Law, Peter & Ranhee Taylor and their children Yeirin and Yeichan; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, IBEW and NV Energy family.

The loss of Kevin will leave a huge hole in the hearts of everyone who knew him.

Kevin worked as a lineman for IBEW Local 396 and NV Energy for over 20 years. His legacy will live on through a scholarship fund, in his name, to afford young people in our community the opportunity to work in the trade Kevin so loved.

Donations are being accepted in lieu of flowers.

The Kevin Houck Scholarship Fund has been set up at SCE Federal Credit Union.
