Kevin was the loving husband of Mary Joan Keifer, celebrating 34 years of marriage. He was the loving and prideful father of Alexander, Caroline, and Scott. He is also survived by his mother, siblings Donald Love, Louise Kyle, Susan DiLanzo, Laura Heckman, and Brian Love, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. He lived a happy and full life in Lansdale, surrounded by many friends he made from his Susquehanna Avenue days.

Kevin owned his own landscaping company, worked with special needs students, and for the last 14 years gave back to the town he grew up in by working as a Code Enforcement Officer for Lansdale Borough.
Kevin loved to drink an adult beverage and watch any of the Philadelphia sports leagues. He played in a dart league and spent many nights beating his son Scott at Smokehouse Tavern. He was a devout Catholic who felt connected to Padre Pio as his patron saint.
