Kevin Lee Ball
Kevin Lee Ball, 43, of Deerfield, passed away October 19, 2010. He was born February 4, 1967 in Akron, Ohio. Kevin was a proud graduate of Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy, class of 1985, an active member of The Church in the Valley and employed by Carter Jones Lumber at the time of his death. He was a 25 year decorated Veteran of the U. S. Army Reserves with service in Bosnia, Haiti, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq.
