After graduating from Bethlehem Central High School, he worked at Kmart, Grand Union, and Price Chopper in the Glenmont community.

“Kevin,” his family wrote in a tribute, “will always be remembered as one of World Wrestling Entertainment’s (WWE) biggest fans and a huge fan of the hard rock band, AC/DC.

“Kevin was a kind person, always the protective big brother to his little brother, Daryl. He was also a dedicated caregiver to his brother and his father after he fell ill.”

He is survived by his mother, Kay Craft, and his brother, Daryl Craft, of Clarksville, and by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Jan. 27, at 11 a.m. at the Clarksville Community Church at 1997 Delaware Turnpike in Clarksville.
