Kevin D. Walters
1967 – 2022
Kevin Walters, aged 54 years, passed away suddenly in his sleep at his home in Edmond, Oklahoma during the night on March 13, 2022.
Kevin was born May 4, 1967 in Wichita, KS, the only son of Gerald and LuAnn Walters. He had two sisters, Stacie Seiwert and Valerie Seiwert. Kevin grew up in Wichita, attending South HS where he excelled in sports, particularly football and baseball. He also worked part-time at his brother in law’s construction company.
Upon graduating HS in 1985, Kevin entered Friends University to play football until a broken leg sidelined his playing days. Kevin transferred to Wichita State University where he graduated with a business degree in 1989 (or as Jenniafer often referred to it as a degree in BS).
Kevin began working at Graphic Systems as a buyer. It was while working at Graphic Systems that Kevin met Jenniafer Gower. They subsequently dated for over a year before they were married on April 13, 1991. Shortly after his wedding, Kevin changed jobs and went to work for Mid-Continent Paper Company in Wichita, KS as a sales representative.
Thus began a successful career in sales which, through mergers and acquisitions, included working for Butler Paper, Unisource, Xpedx and finally, Veritiv. Kevin loved his job and fostered many, many personal relationships among his customers and internal stakeholders over the span of thirty plus years.
Kevin was a family man in every sense of the description. He enjoyed spending time at home with Jenniafer and the girls. He and Jenniafer recently had a habit of sitting on the couch to watch Hallmark movies on cable. Kevin could most often be found lounging by his pool after taking care of his lawn with a can of Coors Light in his hand. He loved Mexican Food and would enjoy an evening out with Jenniafer over a margarita and a plate of burritos. But mostly Kevin loved to grill steaks outback by the pool for family and friends.
Kevin leaves to mourn his wife of 31 plus years, Jenniafer, his two daughters, Amanda Fuston and Nichole Walters, his sisters Stacie Seiwert and Valerie Seiwert and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Gerald and LuAnn Walters.
