Kevin Collins Easter

In Loving Memory of Kevin Collins Easter December 6, 1983 – June 21, 2026

Kevin Collins Easter, 42, passed away unexpectedly on June 21, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas. Though his time with us was far too short, Kevin’s vibrant spirit, creativity, and unforgettable smile left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him.

Kevin was born on December 6, 1983, in Waco, Texas, to Rhonda Easter and the late Billy James Easter. He grew up in Waco, where he attended St. Louis Elementary and Junior High, and Reicher Catholic High School, before graduating from Waco High School in 2002. Kevin was a lifelong learner; he attended McLennan Community College in Waco and later Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, where he proudly completed his associate degree in June of 2025.

To know Kevin was to know a gentle, open-hearted soul who never met a stranger and was always easy to talk to. His brilliant smile could light up any room. He was a man of deep passions, channeling his extraordinary creativity into writing and playing music, drawing, painting, and reading. Kevin also loved video games, traveling, and the companionship of his beloved cats, Owen and Slick.

Those who loved Kevin knew that his absolute favorite time of year was Halloween. His passion for the holiday—filled with black cats, pumpkins, owls, and witches—perfectly captured his imaginative, fun-loving, and unique nature.

Kevin was reunited in peace with his father, Billy James Easter; his maternal grandparents, George and Peggy (Brink) Martin; and his half-sisters, Sheryl Lynn Easter and Christina Easter, all of Waco.

Kevin’s memory will be forever cherished by his devoted mother, Rhonda Easter; his two brothers, Michael James Easter and Ryan Easter; his sister, Lindsey Marie Easter Weber and her husband Robert; and his half-sister, Karen Easter Stone and her husband Steve Stone. He is also survived by his adored niece and nephew, Isobelle Davina Weber and Ezra August Weber as well as his nephew, Matthew Stone and niece, MacKenzie Stone Craft and her husband Ian Craft. Kevin shared many cherished memories and spent countless hours with them throughout their childhood as they grew up together. He is also survived by a large, loving extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins with whom he shared a very close bond.
