HUDSON FALLS & SCHROON LAKE – Kevin Leon Barrows, 55, of Hudson Falls and Schroon Lake, “turned the page”, on July 8, 2014, to join his beloved parents and brother.
Born June 28, 1959, in Glens Falls, he was the son of the late Dale and Barbara Barrows.
On July 23, 1983, Kevin married Sharon Seymour. Over a 30 year span they raised their son, Kevin Keith, who was their greatest accomplishment, prideB and joy. Their grandson, Masen “Buster” was the light of his “Poppy’s” life.
Kevin spent most of his life working alongside his father and brothers, for Barrows Paving. He was then employed for several trucking companies. He also served in the National Guard, where he was a part of the 646th Medical Co. His platoon worked for the1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.
Kevin was an avid outdoorsman. Hunting and fishing was his passion. The Schroon Lake Camp, also known as the “Desolate Hunting Club” became his favorite destination, where he spent many seasons teaching his son to hunt alongside his family, best friends, and Schroon Lake family. He loved and cherished his family and friends more than words can say. The camp was also a gathering place for numerous parties, such as the Annual Labor Day Rib Roast.
Kevin had a special ability of making sure all his friends and family were comfortable and having a great time. He had a knack for giving everyone a nickname.
His last wish was to express how much he loved his family and friends.
Besides his parents, Dale and Barbara Barrows, and brother, Randy “Rudy” Barrows, Kevin was predeceased by his maternal and paternal grandparents, his brother in law, Craig “Goober” Wever, his sister in law, Rhonda Stockwell, as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Survivors include the love of his life, Sharon “Muggins” Barrows; his son, Kevin “Louy” Barrows; his daughter in law, Tammy Barrows; his grandchildren, Masen “Buster” Barrows, Will and Alyssa Knapp; his siblings, Nancy “Pooh” Wever, Dale “Dauber” Barrows(Penny), Connie “Cow” Barrows (Nick), Vicki “Turtle” Ryerson (Randy); his parents in law, Joyce and Keith Seymour; his sisters in law, Judy Vanness (Jim), Karen Chandler (Matt), Carla Barrows (John), his brother in law, Lex Seymour ( Carrie); his extended family, Barbie Seymour, Jeff French; as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
