He is survived by his loving wife, Theresa Tucker Kiefer; two daughters, Kristen and Mallory Kiefer; his son, Kevin Kiefer, Jr.; his granddaughter who was the light of his world, Kyla Reign Hartman; Kyla’s father, Brian Hartman and his two children, Hayven and Hailey Hartman who he adored; Sister, Shaun (Mike); three brothers, Jeff Kiefer (Lynn), Lendell Kiefer, Gerard Kiefer (Liz); Uncle, Earl Hooper; Aunt, Gloria Engel Kiefer Hawkins; Nephews Justin, William, Jason, Kyle, Trey, Christopher; Nieces Shelby (Dillon), Lexi, Emily, Courtney, Casey; and many cousins, and life long friends.
Kevin is an alumni of St. Angela Merici, class of 1973 and of Archbishop Rummel High School, class of 1977. He went on to work for General Electric for over 40 years. Kevin lived for his family. He enjoyed spending his time at his camp in Jourdan River Shores relaxing with family and friends, playing on the water, and just enjoying life. He also loved being out on the open road on his Harley. He was a lifelong LSU fan as well as a long time season ticket holder for the New Orleans Saints (Major Who Dat Fan). Kevin was such a kindhearted and caring person who was the glue that held everything and everyone together. The greatest gift that Kevin had was the opportunity to be the greatest Pop-Pop ever. He will be greatly missed by his family and the abundant number of friends that he had. You may be gone from this life but until we meet again, All Our Love.
The Kiefer Family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Archbishop Rummel High School’s Class of 1977 and Dominican High School’s Class of 1982 for their incredible support. Thank you to the kind staff at Hancock County Ochsner for the wonderful care that Kevin received.
