Kevin Wayne Tepera was born December 3, 1970 at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio to Don and Debbie Hanel Tepera. He passed away in Bryan on Tuesday October 12, 2021 at the age of 50 years.

Kevin attended school in College Station and graduated from Franklin High School in 1990. He was a resident of Robertson County for 31 years and a member of the Elliott Baptist Church. He married Sarah Merryman, the love of his life on April 9, 2005 and proceeded to spoil her every chance he got. They have two sons, Blayne and Dylan who were the pride and joy of his life.

He may have worked hard but was really just a big kid and loved pestering the kids he came into contact with and playing all kinds of games. All of his nieces and nephews were dear to his heart and he loved playing pinky and kickball with them.  He enjoyed hunting and fishing and had begun to share this love with Blayne and Dylan along with skills he had learned from his various jobs-cook at Bennigans, fabricator for Cen-Tex Countertops, and heavy equipment operator at Walnut Creek Mining Company for the last 14 years.

Kevin was preceded in death by his father Don W Tepera; paternal grandparents Ben and Aline Tepera; maternal grandparents Anton and Bernadette Hanel.

Survivors are wife, Sarah; sons Blayne and Dylan; mother Debbie (Jim) Donaldson; sisters Kim Tepera; Claudia (Ty) Pyburn; Brandy (Owen) Knight; brothers Keith (Courtney) Tepera; Cody Tepera, step-mother Vicki Tepera.  He's also survived by father and mother-in-law Glenn and Sally Merryman; brother and sister-in-law Jason and Kati Merryman along with a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Visitation will be held Monday October 18, 2021 at Elliott Baptist Church from 6-8 and services will be Tuesday October 19, 2021at 10:00 AM at the church. Burial will follow at Mt Pleasant Cemetery.
