Kevin Oliver Deffenbaugh was 46 years old when he passed away on March 7, 2009 in San Francisco. Kevin lived for many years with AIDS and cancer. He is survived by one daughter, Jennifer Kunz; two grandchildren; three brothers, David and Jim in Illinois, Les from Texas; and two sisters; Diana Evans in Illinois and Bonnee Young in Wisconsin.
The family lost track of Kevin fr about 20 years before reconnecting with each other in San Francisco in 2002. Again, they became close, in spite of Kevin being very ill and in and out of the hospital.
Kevin was very popular here in California. If you were to get everyone that loved him and those whose hearts he touched, it would take a stadium to hold them all.
Kevin was devoted to counseling and advocacy for those living with homelessness, AIDS, HIV and addiction (all of which he experienced personally), both one-on-one and through several non-profit agencies. These organizations helped him maintain his sense of peace and dignity.
Kevin will be missed and loved by all who knew him.
God bless you, Kevin. We love you.
