MILFORD — Kevin John Haines, 55, passed away Sunday, Dec. 10, 2017, at IU Goshen Health after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was born Jan. 18, 1962, to John E. Haines and Linda Irene Haines Ray in Goshen.
Kevin graduated from Wawasee High School and worked for many years in maintenance for Chore Time Brock. Kevin was industrious and felt that a good work ethic was essential in life. He most recently was employed with Forest River in shipping.
As much as Kevin was a hard worker, he also enjoyed some play time. He could often be found in the garage tinkering on anything with a motor. He enjoyed riding a motorcycle, four wheeling, off-roading and snowmobiling. He was also a huge fan of NASCAR, since the very beginning, before NASCAR was even popular.
Kevin’s prized possession was one of his first rides — a blue ’69 Z28 Chevy Camaro. He was a lifetime member of the Riders Motorcycle Club, New Paris, and a member of the American Motorcycle Association.
Kevin thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his family and frequently hosted gatherings in his home with plenty of food to feed everyone. His granddaughters also held a very special place in his life and he always had some little gift to hand them.
Kevin is survived by his two children, Brandi (Troy) Warstler and Brett (companion Melanie) Haines, both of Milford; two beloved granddaughters, Megan Warstler, Milford, and Audrina Haines, Florence, Ky.; a sister, Tammy (Jim) Kraft, New Paris; a stepmother, Ruth Haines, Leesburg; and a nephew, Logan Kraft, New Paris.
A memorial service will be at 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15, at Mishler Funeral Home and Cremation Center, Milford. Friends and family will be received one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
