I had many memories of Kevin over the years! Brad introduced my family to Kevin back in 1985! He showed us around Arizona when my family took a vacation to Florence! He was funny, loved his coffee and his pepsi, and knew how to carry a tune and played the drums really well. I will never forget you Kev! My condolences to the family!
Wow. Sorry to hear about my cousin Kevin. I remember our family and his family shared a house on Thompson Street in Bluffton - our family on one level and his family on the other. So there were 10 Acre kids crawling or walking about- some babies and the rest just small kids.We all went to school at Bluffton Elementary when we got old enough. I remember Kevin being feisty and always into some new adventure. He was good at finding things to break, like windows and rules. At some point, Kevin's family moved to Ravenna, and I didn't see much of him after that. Then one day, when I was around 21 and living in Santa Ana, CA, a knock came at the door. I opened it, and there stood Kevin with his dad (my Uncle Jim). They had driven out from Arizona unannounced. Kevin was 18 or 19. They stayed for a couple of days. I was living the party life at the time, and Kevin wanted to hang out and party, but couldn't because he was with his dad and had to go back to Arizona. I didn't see him again until just four years ago during winter. Kevin was living in an old house in Muskegon and fixing cars for work, and I was visiting from CA. Brad brought me over to visit him. Kevin was face-first in a truck engine, unscrewing some strange, oil-covered engine part that only mechanics know the purpose of. He was doing the work that he loved. I guess he was a damned good mechanic because in the short time i was there, standing in the snowy driveway on a frozen day, two other people showed up needing their cars fixed. He said he was overloaded with work, but it was better than not having enough work. We hung out for a little while and planned to spend the next Sunday watching the Super Bowl together, but on Sunday I couldn't go because some emergency came up. Bummer. I would have liked to have spent more time with him. All my love to his family. Cousin Dan Acre
I have so many memories of Kevin one of them is his love for cooking he had a great pork chop recipe and while he was cooking he always of course had to sing Elvis songs you would tell him to sing Kentucky Rain and he would say no no like he was embarrassed and then next thing you know you turned your back and he starts singing it.
He was a great guy and funny my thoughts and prayers go to his family.
I remember my cousin Kevin for his warm smile and gentle soul, and for the help and kindness he gave to my mom (his Aunt Patty) and her husband AL (my step-dad) when they became elderly and needed some help. I also remember Kevin from when we were kids, us "Acre kids," from my dad's side (Buck Acre's kids) would visit the other "Acre kid's" (Jim Acre's kids - Jim being my dad's only sibling and brother), in Ravenna and we played in the pig-pen mud with the pigs, and another time Sheila and I pretended to be Kevin and Terry or Brad's girlfriends, and other fun times. Gonna miss you, Kevin. RIP, cousin. Luv u.
I met Kevin initially when he and Brad were my neighbors on Sisson St and have continued the friendship throughout the years. He was always ready to help anyone that needed it, whether it was something wrong with your vehicle (which he really was great at!) or anything else for that matter. He was a good friend and will truly be missed by all who knew him. 😢 My prayers go out to the family.
There could only be one you 😭💔 my soul aches so badly. 💔😭 i hope you are somewhere warm,smiling, singin & dancin, / your mama & dad. I love you uncle kevin 😭😭💔
