Kevin Douglas Jeter

I am Kevin's youngest sister. I always thought he was so cool. Whatever he ordered me to do, I did it. I washed his cars and his motorcycle, cleaned up after him. I just wanted him to be happy. Oh my gosh, I was just such an annoying little sister. I loved all of his friends and had crushes on most of them. "Get Outta Here" was a phrase I heard a lot! Those were childhood years, then he moved out to California when I was 14 so I missed a lot of his adult years. He was a "Rolling Stone.” He loved his rock and roll lifestyle driving equipment for some of the biggest acts. I think the Rolling Stones had to be his favorite. The time I got to spend with him this last Winter was priceless. We were housemates and we were both in a strange place yet it was our childhood home. We both really missed California but Michigan was where we needed to be. Mom had passed in August and our sister Valorie was in full on work mode getting the house cleared out and dealing with all the things that need dealing with. Kevin and I were in awe of everything she got done. We couldn’t keep up with her but tried! We all got to be together. We celebrated his 65th birthday and we were all grateful to have had the time together. I got to know the adult Kevin. He is one of the most considerate people I've ever known. He isn't easily angered and he really wants everyone to be happy and at peace. Kevin was welcoming to me as I arrived in December. He had been there for a few months on his own. He never made me feel like I was cramping his style, always accommodating. He shared lots of stories about the years after moving away. He had a lot of fun in this lifetime. He had a few really good friends who loved him like a son or a brother. I know he is in a far better place. He is floating around in pure positive energy and no longer in pain. I’m so grateful I got to know him in his more mature years. A sweet and gentle man.
