As he liked to tell it, his mother said he came into the world as if "shot from guns", the most fitting entrance for the man he became. One of 7 children, Kevin attended and graduated from Queensbury high school and pursued a career In HVAC. He worked for many years with Dave and Joan Williams at the Furnace Outlet and Hardware, followed by several decades as the owner and operator of Thompson's Heating. Kevin was a true light in this world, a pure soul. He had the most contagious smile and laugh. And he loved, everyone and everything around him deeply, and always wanted to make others laugh and feel at ease. He loved Ozzy and Lemmy, Aerosmith, and Rush. He loved being in the woods, out on the lake, and especially metal detecting. He loved breaking the rules, and most of all, he loved living life on his own terms. As his daughter, I was blessed by every second I had with him in this life. We listened to all his favorite vinyl records. He never missed a field hockey game, a dance class, or a school occasion. And we talked about everything, from life and love to football and music and the afterlife. He was my best friend and confidant until the end. Kevin taught me how to be a good person in this life. In his memory, I'm going to be the best parent I can be. As for his many other "kids", Kevin loved my friends and cousins, his nieces and nephews, like his own. And boy oh boy, did he love his "son", my husband Josh, and his grandkids, Maeve and Daniel, with whom I selfishly only wish he had more time. But alas, I only had the honor to know Kevin as dad. To so many others he was a partner, a brother, a son, and a friend. He will be forever missed by his true companion and forever love, Heidi Durkee, with whom he shared 26 beautiful years. Together, they made a lifetime of memories, cherished time boating on Lake George, countless adventures, and caring for their beloved kitties. The love they had will not fade away. Kevin will also be greatly missed by his brothers and sisters, Brian (Tammy), Annie, Chris (Maria), Katie, Elizabeth, and his best friend, Danny (Margan). And most of all his mom Eleanor, who he loved so much, and will be waiting for, alongside his father Dan. In lieu of a traditional funeral service, which just wasn't his style, we ask for the gift of stories. Kevin was a wonderful storyteller and he loved stories from his friends and his customers, especially his older customers who he knew for many years. If you have a favorite story or memory of my dad, Kevin, we would be so grateful if you can share. Please email to; [email protected] To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store .

Keep smilin and telling stories . Share Dan and Vicki Legault Earlier today To Kevin´s family, We were long time customers of Kevin´s but came to think of him more as a friend over the years. We were deeply saddened when we heard he was gone. We LOVED Kevin!!! He was such a great guy, so positive, reliable, trustworthy, enthusiastic, and fun! We never worried about the work he was doing or whether he was giving us a "good price" or anything like that, we just somehow knew he was. A call to him for plumbing or heating work was always followed by some interesting story or other about his treasure finding adventures and these we never minded but, in fact, looked forward to! He always made us laugh!!! We referred him to family and many a neighbor and will never forget his kindness and patience with my elderly mom. He will be missed by many. Dan and Vicki Legault See More Share John p Guglielmo Earlier today I was a classmate of your Dad. I haven´t seen him in many years but remember him as a fun and very nice person. I am so sorry for your loss, but I know the memories will last forever. Share How you can show support Send flowers Consider sending flowers. Add photos Share their life with photo memories.
