Kev lived life by three guiding principles:
Hard worker all his life… starting at age 7 cleaning bathrooms at his father’s gas station for a nickel. A business owner, a gifted athlete, pilot, songwriter, singer and master of many musical instruments. However, his sole purpose in life was to “bring joy” to others…
Always, always, always, giving, and giving more and giving even more to others, but never wanting any credit or fanfare. Family, friends, and employees were constant recipients of his generous heart. And, through partnering with the great Father Pat Tobin many years ago, Harvesters became recipient of Kevin’s constant giving…
Annually donating trailers full of hams at Christmas and increasing his personal donation goal every year
Kev was cheered on to heaven July 13th by his wife Karen Layton, who is a better person for being touched by a true angel on earth. He is now jamming with his brother Kerry… and his dad Al and mother Helen smiling proudly
Kevin Layton quote: “I am truly blessed, God is in control” and “never, never, never give up!”
