A son of the late Julian Alonzo and Patricia Tanner, Kevin was born on July 26, 1960, in Jefferson City, Missouri. He lived a life marked by quiet strength and a laid-back spirit that endeared him to those around him.

A graduate of Pleasant Hill High School in the Class of 1978, Kevin pursued a career as a carpenter—a trade that reflected his hands-on nature and practical skills. Over the years, he built more than just structures; he built a life rooted in simplicity and authenticity.

As time passed, he grew into more of a homebody, finding comfort in the familiar rhythms of daily life and the peace of staying close to home.

Kevin is survived by his daughter Nichole Tanner; three grandchildren; his sister, Karen Owen; and nieces Melanie Burrell, Kelly Poston, and Jessica Harden.
