He was born on June 28, 1958, in Kearney to Joan C. (nee Krystofik) and the late William H. Toomes Jr.
From a very young age, Kevin had an extraordinary work ethic. He held many jobs as a young man, from cleaning windows and waxing floors to working for Petro Chemical.

Kevin was an avid outdoorsman and loved being in the woods and on the beach. Spending time fishing with his son was one of his favorite things to do as well as spending time down in Seaside with his son, daughter and her family.
He enjoyed spending time with his granddaughter and watching her cheerlead. He also was a passionate fan of the New York Giants and New York Mets and enjoyed watching games.
He was predeceased by his father, William H. Toomes Jr., in 1975 and his maternal and paternal grandparents.
