Kevin Thomas Reynolds' Obituary
Kevin Thomas Reynolds, 25, of Decatur went to be with his Lord and the angels on Monday, February 10, 2014 in St. Mary’s Hospital with his family at his side.
Kevin was born on July 14, 1988 in Decatur the son of Barb Brinkoetter and Chuck Reynolds. Kevin was confined to a wheelchair most of his life, but that didn’t define him. He was so much more. He was an avid fan of all sports, but had his favorite teams; specially the Yankees, Packers, Redwings, and Michigan Wolverines. He was a die-hard fan for all of them, even though, he cursed their losses. He never wavered always having a quiet confidence they would turn things around. He leaves behind a family who loved him dearly and learned so many things from him at the same time. We wish to extend our gratitude out to those who got to know Kevin and made him apart of your lives. We know he cherished every moment with all of you.
We will all miss you so much, and we will love you forever and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
Surviving are his parents, Charles “Chuck” Reynolds of Decatur; Barbara Brinkoetter (Ted) of Decatur; grandmother, Mary Ann Bussing of Evansville, IN; step-grandparents, Bob Canaday of Decatur; Helen Brinkoetter of Decatur; brother, Eric Charles Reynolds of Decatur; step brothers, Teddy Brinkoetter of Decatur, Timmy Brinkoetter of Decatur, step sisters, Tara Brinkoetter of Decatur, Taylor Brinkoetter of Stonington, Torie Brinkoetter of Stonington; several aunts, uncles, and cousins; and his faithful companion his pet dog Hooch.
