Kevin Matthew Vance, 42, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 16, 2022. He was born in Covington, KY on June 19, 1980, to Byron and Teresa Brinegar Vance.

Kevin grew up in Northern, Kentucky and was a 1999 graduate of Conner High School. Kevin married Elizabeth Gillespie Miller on October 5, 2013. He loved old cars, hot wheels, being a collector and good music. Kevin was a huge fan of the band Kiss and Alice Cooper. Kevin enjoyed singing karaoke all things Christmas and Halloween, meeting celebrities and famous people, driving the 54 Chevy Bel Air and having a good time with family and friends. He was a huge sports fan of the UK wildcats, Cincinnati Bengals, NASCAR and Cincinnati Reds baseball. Kevin’s greatest pride and joy was his family. He was such a kind soul, who would do anything to help others. He had a heart of gold and was loved so much by everyone that knew him. He was a son, husband, and father who will be missed beyond measure.

Kevin is preceded in death by his father, Byron Vance, grandparents, Shirley Brinegar, Elizabeth “Betsy” Brinegar, R.C. and Helen Vance, father-in-law, Terry Gillespie.

Sympathy to all

We are at a loss for words. Sincere sympathy to Teresa, his wife and son. You all have been through so much loss, may God uplift you as you go through this once again. Our hearts go out to you. Greg & Sue Watkins (Greg is Raylene’s brother and Sue knew Byron at the dealership years ago plus my family was in the square dancing with Byron’s family).


Our Prayers and condolences

Teresa, Elizabeth & Caylon,
So sorry to hear this, as long time friends of the family, we’ve had the pleasure of watching Kevin grow up and into the warm and kind person he was, always a smile and respectful of others, we feel so blessed to have known him and watch him build his own family. Until we meet again my friend, rest in HIS peace. Sincerely, Jody and Sheli Morris
