At a young age Kevin and his friends Phillip, Vincent,

Sissy, Kay (the crew) would get together and play church. Kevin and Phillip pretended to be the preachers,

later on the playing became a reality.  Kevin loved to preach the Word and would get so excited when

he had a revelation, he would get tongue-tied just trying to explain it to you,

his enthusiasm was very inspiring.

In 1984, Kevin had his first child, Keisha, He was a proud father and loved her very much!

Kevin was also blessed with a son Kevin C. Grigsby.

Through his perilous time in his life, our fathers grace was sufficient,

and with our fathers permissive will he met and married his wife of 31 years Angie Richardson.

Kevin was also a very dedicated employee for Albertson Distribution Center

where he retired after 28 years.

Through the guidance of the Most High Kevin found his Hebrew heritage.

In 2016 Kevin fell ill and was rushed to the hospital, there he had a near death experience, and awoke repenting

of all sins he had committed. He was released home and lived longer then the doctors foresaw for his life.
