Kevin was truly one of a kind. He spent most of his time traveling from one side of Texas to the other as our Lead Staff Instructor educating Law Enforcement personnel on a topic he was very passionate about, decreasing alcohol-related crashes. He devoted 6 years to the Texas SFST Program and we cannot thank him enough for his dedication to the program and the staff. He will be remembered as an amazing instructor who went the extra mile (both geographically and metaphorically), but most importantly, a friend. A friend with a dry sense of humor who could make you laugh even if you didn’t want to and for having an extraordinary love for the restaurant Salt Grass and his favorite, their carrot cake. May he rest in peace knowing he touched many hearts and saved numerous lives.
