Kevin R. Sneed passed away on May 26, 2023. He was 68 years old.
Kevin (aka Uncle Stinky) was a very sweet soul with a very funny sense of humor. You could tell he was in the room by the sound of his laugh and boisterous voice. He could brighten up your day with his broad smile.
Kevin was quite generous with his time and would do anything for you but his way. He loved to tell long elaborate stories plastered with comedic jokes. His timing was impeccable.
Kevin's love for young children made him the family babysitter. He volunteered to take the kids on short neighborhood adventures. They ADORED him. He had a nickname for each and every one of them, the adults, too.
Kevin was also a creature of habit. He had a one-track mind when it came to food. Kevin was a meat and potato, no vegetables and no left-overs kind of guy. His palate would only eat fried clams with bellies, lobster and shrimp. He devoured Pearl dogs and fried bologna and would wash it all down with Country Time lemonade.
Kevin's interests encompassed music by James Brown, dancing to James Brown and singing with James Brown. He truly enjoyed clamming and boating on the Cape, taking long walks, traveling to Bermuda, the Bahamas and Canada but foremost sitting in front of the TV to watch the Boston Celtics and New England Patriots.
Kevin was the loving husband of Beverly Faison-Sneed and the son of the late Elbert and Doris (Drayton) Sneed. He was the father of Kyle Robert Sneed and the brother of Kim Sneed-Johnson and her husband Joseph L., Robin Sneed-Lewis, Randal D. Sneed, Elanda Sneed, James M. Sneed and his wife Elisabeth and Celestine R. Sneed. Kevin was the uncle of Kayla Lewis, Nikos Sneed, Brendan Lewis, Raekwon and Justice Burroughs-Johnson, Jeremiah Sneed and Eva Sneed.
Kevin will be Forever in Our Hearts!
