Kevin Wade Ballance Il, passed away on January 1, 2025, at the age of 30. Born on March 1, 1994, in Lakeland, Florida, Kevin was a beacon of light and a source of joy to all who knew him. His friendly demeanor and adventurous spirit were the hallmarks of his personality, leaving a lasting impression on the hearts of many.
Kevin was predeceased by his beloved grandmother, Mildred Iva Judd. He is survived by his adoring family: his grandfather, Aaron Judd; his devoted mother, Dena Judd; his loving siblings, Kayla Brogen, Joshua (Niki) Brogen, Brittany (Cody) Ballance, and his step-sister, Amber. Kevin will also be fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews, Haylee, Shyla, Brycen, Caleb, Jacob, Ryah, and Leia. His most treasured role, however, was that of a devoted father to his daughter, Brinley Ranae Ballance.
An avid sports enthusiast, Kevin's passion for physical activity was evident to all. He was a dedicated marathon runner, a testament to his discipline and determination. His love for roller skating, football, and basketball was matched only by his commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, visiting the gym daily. Kevin's appreciation for nature shone brightly through his love for the beach, where he found peace and solace in the beauty of sunsets and sunrises.
Kevin's zest for life was complemented by his love for music, which was a constant source of happiness and inspiration for him. His friendly nature made him popular in his community, where he was known for his ready smile and willingness to lend a helping hand.
Throughout his life, Kevin formed countless friendships and touched many lives with his kindness and warmth. His adventurous spirit will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, and his legacy will live on through the stories shared by friends and family.
