They had two children, Corey Scott and Aimee Marie. K.C. was a truck driver, car salesman, business owner, and route driver. He also worked in the propane industry. His love of cars followed him all his life. The car bug bit him the first time he got behind the wheel! His hobby of collecting die cast Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars found new friends with the same obsession. K.C. loved his family - they were the most important part of his life. He was so proud of his kids. And the grandkids - well, they were the icing on the cake! He always said, “There is no guarantee there will be a tomorrow, so enjoy today.” This is how he lived his life. Well done, K.C.!
