Obituary of Kevin Eugene Bolam

Kevin Eugene Bolam, born January 3, 1963, in Hazlehurst Mississippi, passed away on April 16, 2018, at the young age of 55. Kevin bravely fought cancer for three years with optimism and positivity, beating all odds that were given to him, and is now at peace and out of pain. His will to live and the love for his family was constant and uncompromised.

Kevin grew up in the Pacific Northwest, graduating from Federal Way High School in 1981. An avid bowler and a leisure golfer, Kevin loved to mix friends, family and sports. In 1998 he joined the Boeing Company as an engineer, and in 2010 he moved with them to South Carolina, where he loved the hot weather. But, even though he moved to South Carolina, he never gave up his loyalty to the Seahawks or the Mariners. He retired this last January after nearly 20 years with The Boeing Company. Kevin enjoyed camping anywhere, but especially Myrtle Beach with Kathy and their dogs Rocky and Izzy, where he could soak up the sun and enjoy the passing of time together in their fifth wheel. He was a gentle, kind, loyal father, husband, son, brother and friend. His quiet presence is deeply missed, but his spirit lives on in the love of those whose lives he touched.

He is survived by his wife Kathy Bolam; his parents, Robert and June Bolam; his children Darin Bolam, Marissa Brehm/son-in-law Shane Brehm and step-daughter Morgan Ferrance; his two sisters Cindy Bolam/sister-in-law Julie Averill, Kristina Bolam; and one grandchild Isaac Brehm.
