Sunrise: July 28, 1957

Kevin Kyle “KC” Collins, 62 departed his life to enter into enteral rest on July 30, 2019.  Kevin was often referred to as KC by his friends and family.  He was born on July 28, 1957 in Norfolk, VA to the late Clarence and Dorothy Collins.

Kevin graduated from Granby High School and attended Norfolk State University.  He worked for Nexcom and USAA.

Kevin was a great father and was loved by his friends.  He  enjoyed being around his buddies, watching sports games and talking about old times.  Kevin loved to cook and his favorite food to eat was fish.  When he was young, he always told his mom to make sure he had his bowtie on before he left for school, and when he was younger, he was in a Temptation Group.  He was often told he resembled Teddy Pendergrass.

He leaves to cherish his loving memory, two daughters, Karitta Monique McClease from Atlanta, GA and Janay Kiara Collins (mother Renee Collins) from Virginia Beach; His siblings, Doris Cross (Ernest), Jacqueline McDonald, Joyce Smith, from Norfolk; Michael Collins from Rhode Island, Gloria Hargett (Robert), and Denise Green (Tracey) from Norfolk; Two aunts Marie Sablon from Patterson, NJ and Delores Hill from Norfolk, VA; and a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

    Words cannot express what I am feeling now. I’m sure I can also speak for my siblings when I say he really was our brother from another mother. I’ve known Kevin just about all my life and my heart goes out to his children his siblings nieces nephews cousins and countless friends. Kevin was a silly lovable person and he will be sorely missed. If Kevin joked you it was indication that he loved you. He looked after the people he loved. What an upstanding and smart individual. Kevin you’re at peace now and we will all miss you…. love your honesty sister….Deborah Davis Cross

    All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
    (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)

    Oftentimes death is not the end but rather the beginning of a new journey. I know Kevin’s spiritual journey is already planned. Family worry not about what Kevin left for you, focus on what he left in you! RIP my lifetime friend.
