He was a beacon of joy and support to his father Robert and stepmother Barbara, his sister Kris Jeral and her husband Ed Welsman, and his brother Brendan Jeral and his wife Annmarie. For eight years, Kevin shared a life full of love and laughter with his beloved companion, Marilyn Wolfe, who stood by him as a partner and best friend.
