Join us for the 22nd annual golf outing to keep Kevin’s memory alive!
Kevin was a former St. Louis Center employee.
Kevin was a courageous, compassionate, humorous, and loving young man. He touched the hearts of all who knew him and truly blessed our lives with his presence. He was born with a defective heart, and after numerous operations, he was given a second chance at life with a heart transplant at the age of 9. His new heart gave him 12.5 years of life he would not have had otherwise. He lived a very healthy, optimistic, and normal life considering the many complications that surround an organ transplant. Kevin was an avid golfer and a loyal UofM fan (wear UofM attire if you desire).
While attending Jackson Community College, Kevin worked part-time at various jobs but found his true niche in life working with the young boys at St. Louis Center. Kevin passed away October 21, 2000, at the age of 21 after a brief illness from complications of his heart transplant. He is truly missed by those privileged to have known him.
This is a wonderful chance to share memories of Kevin and have fun golfing for the benefit of others. This event will raise money for the Kevin George Memorial Trust Fund to benefit:
- Michigan Congenital Heart Center Save a Heart
- Gift of Life (Organ Procurement Agency)
- St. Louis Center
- East Jackson Community Schools – East Jackson Scholarship Fund
