“He was just so happy with everything. He was just content.”
Kevin was also a Formula One and Lewis Hamilton fan – a passion he shared with his young son.
Good friend Gary Crouch described Kevin as, “the most reliable person I have ever met.
“If you asked him to do something he would do it.
“He was a straight talking guy and that was what I liked about him, but he was also calm and laid-back.”
Another close friend, John Parker, said: “I have known Kevin since I was 17 and he has had a big impact on my life.
“He has been a good friend for the last 30 years. A good solid character who knew his own mind and someone you would go to for advice.”
His funeral will be held at St Mary and St Joseph Church in Boxmoor on Monday, April 18 at 12.30pm.
Kevin’s family have asked that donations be made in his memory to NSPCC.
