Kevin enjoyed a long career in the entertainment industry, working with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus as a clown before serving with The Walt Disney Company in Orlando, Florida for several years. He even landed a part in a Hollywood movie!
Kevin is survived by his mother, Elaine (Bill) Vale of Calera, Alabama; his father, Hugh (Connie) McGowan of Elgin; and siblings, Susan Hoffman of Elwell, Michigan, Michael (Debbie) McGowan of West Dundee, Illinois, Mary McGowan of Jacksonville, Florida, Maureen McGowan of South Elgin, Illinois, and Sandy Lovell of Alabaster, Alabama. Additional family members include Tammy (Dennis) Krieger; Michael McBride; many nieces and nephews of whom Kevin was a very proud uncle; as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Kevin had a large, close group of friends. He communicated with many of them regularly over the course of his life. He will be greatly missed, but he leaves with all of us the memories of many fun, loving and entertaining moments we shared.
The family greeted friends one hour before a Celebration of Kevin's Life at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at Ridout's Southern Heritage Funeral Home in Pelham, Alabama. After the memorial service, the family hosted a reception at the funeral home.
