Son of the late Herbert and Theresa Simms was admired by many. He grew up in West Philadelphia with his brothers; Austin Iven Horne, Herbert Simms, and Terrance Simms. Together as family they navigated the future with many hopes. Kevin fell in love with his sweetheart, Pauline Simms, and they joined in matrimony on June 2, 1975. Kevin's strong affectionate love for his family and his passion for his son successful academic education led to his son's graduation from the Art Institute of Philadelphia. Kevin had love of many hobbies such as fishing, Atlantic City New Jersey trips, hanging out with family during cookouts, cooking delicious foods for entertainment, watching his favorite team on TV- the Philadelphia Eagles. Kevin's secular work history led him to many years of fun adventures at Jerome Foods, Acme Box, and the National Book Company where he published bibles for distribution until his retirement in 2020. Kevin was an extremely dedicated, hard-worker with no fear of challenging tasks. He was known for his kind heart and gentle nature, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.
