Kevin Mark Kuhlman's Obituary
On Jan 9, 2021, Kevin Mark Kuhlman of Arlington Tx, left his earthly body to unite with his savior and family in heaven. Kevin was born on 5/12/61 in Houston Tx. He is preceded in death by his mother, Melva Patterson Kuhlman; father, Sterling Joseph Kuhlman; and a brother, John Kirk Kuhlman.

Brother; Sterling Joseph Kuhlman Jr & his wife, Waynell. Also three nieces, three nephews and a host of loved ones & friends.
Kevin grew up in Houston and graduated from high school in 1979. He went on to attend college then joined the Navy from 1983- ‘91. His Navy days were remembered fondly, and he loved to talk about them. In 1991, he was hired by Federal Aviation Administration and has worked there almost 30 years. He loved his work there as an Airway Transportation Systems Specialist and really missed being in the office during COVID-19 restrictions. He had looked forward to getting back to normal operations there.
God, family & country were his passions. Kevin was a devoted Catholic and a member of St Vincent DePaul Catholic Church in Arlington Tx. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus St Jude council #6269 in Arlington.
His three sons were the center of his life. He had been active in their Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts & baseball teams. Kevin loved to travel, camp, fish, hunt and spend time with his sons. When all three sons joined the Navy, he was so excited and proud of them!
Kevin was a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys and never missed watching their games. He had a fondness for orange tabby cats and loved his two; Peanut & Buddy. His love had no boundaries. He was always willing to help a fellow being or furry animal.
Kevin, you will be sorely missed by all of us. Your love, devotion, and kindness to all will not be forgotten.
It’s not goodbye, but see you later!
