On 3rd September we lost our fabulous Kevin. He was taken away from us far too soon, following a short but brave battle with Penile Cancer.
We hope that you can join us on Sat 3rd October at Gedling Crematorium at 11.30 to celebrate the wonderful life of Kev. We will be reflecting on all that Kev was, a devoted son, fiercely protective older brother, loving husband, attentive uncle but most of all a wonderful dad.
We have received so many lovely comments about Kev and I think we can safely say he was one of life’s nicest blokes.
Kev would want everyone to feel comfortable so there is no strict dress code but shorts are absolutely encouraged as a respectful nod to Kev and his legendary commitment to this attire.
We would also love for as many of you to join us afterwards at The Lambley Village Kitchen to raise a glass to Kev and share all your memories of him. Whilst we are there we will have a playlist of songs that remind us of Kev or that we know he liked so if there is anything specific you would like adding to this please let one of the family know.
We would ask that you do not send flowers but hope that instead if you should wish you could donate to a charity either Nottinghamshire who helped look after Kev in his final days or NSPCC which was a charity that Kev supported.
If anyone can’t attend but would link details of a live link please let us know.

What can’t you say about Kev, what a fantastic person. Whenever you saw him he always had that infectious smile on his face that made you feel good. Whenever I refereed the Boots lads and Kev was playing it was not just a football match it was also 90 minutes of banter too. I don’t know what it was but we just had this thing of how we just got on. We always greeted each other and then the banter started. If he thought I was wrong in decision he would tell me but always in a nice manner and not only that but if he thought his own players or the opposition was getting on at me he would stand in for me too. After wards in the bar as always the. Banter just in creased but as always with Kev only in the nicest way and spirit. I could go on for hours and ever and think of a bad word for such a lovely fantastic person he was. I like many many others will miss him as you don’t come across great people like Kev in your life. RIP Kev 💙⚽️ Kirky.
