Kevin was born to Forrest "Frosty" and Betty (Smith) Whitmore. He graduated from Tipton High School. After high school, Kevin worked some odd and end jobs. He later joined the United States Navy to serve his country. He met and married Gayle (Steed) Wyre in March of 1995. He worked over 25 years at T.D. Williamson. Afterwards, he worked at PPI as a pressure tester until his retirement. A few years ago, Kevin and Gayle moved back home to Milfay. One of Kevin's greatest passions in life was basketball. He loved playing and watching basketball, especially high school. He set some amazing records when he played in high school. Kevin enjoyed keeping up with his grandkids, fishing, bird watching, and motorcycles. He loved Christmas! When he and Gayle married, he was so excited for their first Christmas together. If Kevin wanted to do something, he did all he could to learn about it. Kevin was a gentle giant. His caring and loving spirit will be missed.
