Kevin Dwayne Souza-Easley, 53, of Old Hickory, Tennessee, passed away on June 19, 2025. He was born on September 19, 1971, in Modesto, California to parents, Melvin and Deborah Easley.
Kevin grew up in Ceres, California. From his earliest age, he had a love for life and for anything that would help people. He served a short time in the armed forces when he enlisted in the United States Navy. He felt his greatest accomplishment, while working as a paramedic, was performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a ninety-year-old gentleman until he was transported to the hospital, thus saving his life. Kevin never met a stranger and brightened any room he entered. He developed a passion for catering and hospitality – anything that served people. He became very creative and artistic with his creations and eventually found himself the backstage caterer for many in the entertainment industry, a position he very much adored.
Kevin always put his family first. He especially loved the family vacations when the entire family would take off on a trip together or embark on a cruise. Kevin loved well . . . was well loved . . . and will be greatly missed.
Kevin is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Melvern and Josephine Easley; his maternal grandparents, William and Pauline Evans; and a nephew, William Brian Strack.
He is survived by his husband (together for nine years), Joshua “Josh” Dimitri Souza-Easley; father, Melvin A. Easley; mother, Deborah F. (Evans) Easley; brothers Michael Easley (Donna) and Ronald Easley (Sherrie); and sister, Melissa Montini (Christopher). Kevin also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, grand nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and multiple friends.
There will be a Gathering of Family & Friends at Hermitage Funeral Home on Wednesday, June 25, from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM and on Thursday, June 26, at St. Stephen’s Catholic Community (14544 Lebanon Road, Mount Juliet) 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM, with the Celebration of Life beginning at 3:00 PM. Father Patrick will be officiating.
