Kevin and Deanna grew up in the Metro Detroit area and moved to the Cadillac area in 1997, buying a farm a year later in Leroy. After Kevin’s father passed away in 2001, they moved to the Brighton area to be closer to family, planning to one day return to the community and friends they had grown to love. Eleven years later, with their daughter, Katelyn, in the Army; their daughter, Courtney, attending college in Florida; and their son, Garrett, finishing high school; Kevin and Deanna decided it was the time to plan their future.
