Obituary
On December 27, 2022, Kevin M. Rees
left his broken body here on Earth and immediately
went to be with The Lord for eternity. He leaves
behind his wife of 45 years, Yvonne (Watkins) Rees
and daughter, Kathryn (Rees) Angri, and son-in-law,
Jesse Angri. He also leaves behind his twin brothers
Keith (Lisa) Rees, Kerry (Rita) Rees, and sister,
Kelli Rees; along with numerous nieces and nephews.
He is proceeded in death by his parents, William and
Laurette, and sisters, Patricia Star and Lois. As
well as his brother-in-law, Dozier Watkins,
mother-in-law, Mary W. Watkins.
Kevin worked at State Farm as a computer analyst for
17 years assisting in the Y2K and Data General IBM
transition. Before that he worked for 40 years in
the movie industry, school system, and local
governments in businesses he owned or partnered in,
in Georgia and South Carolina. In South Carolina he
co-owned a BBQ catering business, called HoGrins
BBQ, providing food for schools, churches,
fundraisers, and celebrations.
During his personal time, he designed and built play
props and sets, participated in plays, and was
active in his church and community at large. He
enjoyed volunteering at the local food pantries or
cooking for Home Sweet Home. |
The great outdoors was always a
passion of Kevin’s, especially in later years, his
birds which he could watch from his favorite chair.
He was a jack of all trades and master of many.
He was kind, caring,
and fiercely devoted to his friends and family. He
treasured his heritage and loved to share his
experiences traveling and cooking with anyone who
would listen. Kevin’s heart, presence and love will
be deeply missed by those that knew him but we’ll
see him soon enough in Glory.
A celebration of life is being held in his honor
March 11, 2023, from 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. at
Living Hope Christian Church in Downs, IL. All who
know and love the family or Kevin are welcome.
Quiram-Peasley Funeral Home of Atlanta is assisting
