His most recent interest was learning to trade crypto. Kevin was a great teacher, he loved teaching his kids and grandkids to read amongst other skills. He was very proud of all his children and grandchildren. He was always there to pat your back, hold your hand, or give the back of your neck a little squeeze. Ben and Ember joined the family in 2014, Ember became his first grandchild and only granddaughter. He loved playing Clue with his Ember-bember, building wooden cars with Coleyoleo and teaching action-Jackson to play chess.
