Kevin Joseph Simpson, age 63, of the Huntsville area went to be with the Lord on May 6, 2021, due to complications of COVID-19 with severe pneumonia.

He was born in New York City, New York, on February 25, 1958, but made Alabama his home for the majority of his life.  He was the son of the late Joseph Simpson and Ethel Simpson, currently of Harvest, Alabama. He is survived by his wife, Donna Harvey Simpson of Athens, Alabama, and his four children, Austin Simpson, Stacy Robinson (Scott Robinson), Jennifer Bonner (Volkan Alkanoglu), and Brent Hamby (Ashley Hamby). He is also survived by one sister, Vicki Hudgins (Jimmy Hudgins), and two brothers, Scott Simpson (Diana Simpson) and Eric Simpson and granddaughter, Rae Alkanoglu. His life was blessed with many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

He is a graduate of Huntsville’s Johnson High School, class of 1976. Kevin, a licensed builder in the community, started constructing homes at the age of 19 and most recently was the owner of Southbound Builders and a partner in Hampton Heritage Homes.  Kevin was also the founder of Trimco Company Inc., an interior trim company, that has contributed to thousands of residential homes within North Alabama.

He was a passionate pilot and founder of KAD Aviation. Kevin enjoyed flying his twin engine airplane and recently received his helicopter license. He was a lifelong Crimson Tide Alabama football fan, enjoyed snow skiing, deep sea fishing in the Gulf, and many trips to the beach with family and friends.  

Kevin believed in treating others as he would like to be treated. His strong faith was a foundation for encouraging others in their walks with the Lord and providing support in difficult times. He was a friend and mentor to many and was a loving person who brought joy and comfort to many lives. His lifelong philosophy was reflected in his close relationships with friends, business partners, employees, and vendors. His loyalty and kindness will be long remembered.

He and his family worshiped at The Rock Family Worship Center at Huntsville campus.  Officiating at his Celebration of Life service will be Pastor Rusty Nelson and Pastor Steve Sharp. Music will be provided by Spencer Bell.
