Kevin was born in Flint on Feb. 8, 1957, the son of Ronald and the late Shirley Yauch. He was married to Jill (Click) for 24 years. He was proud of his Flint-area roots.

Kevin was a devoted son, husband and friend, who always put the love of his life, his wife, first.

He worked at the Flint Journal for 32 years in a wide array of positions, each with increasing responsibility and authority. Even in the rough-and-tumble newsroom, where deadlines and technology clashed and salty talk and strong personalities ruled, he remained polite, calm, kind and always professional.

He was a go-to man and a team player in any situation. He had a great sense of humor.

Kevin personally exhibited a strong Christian witness. He always went an extra mile for his family, his friends and his coworkers. He loved music, photography, and working with, troubleshooting and just plain playing with Apple computers.

He was an avid woodworker, and built his own furniture. He loved to travel with his wife, and spend time with his family members. His passion for his work, his hobbies, his life and his family was infectious.

He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Surviving are his wife, Jill; father, Ron Yauch; sister, Tracy (William) Khan, Debra (Thomas) Gorte, and Linda Yauch; 17 nieces and nephews.
