Billy Wayne Kervin Sr.

Billy Wayne Kervin, 83 of Crestview, passed away on Monday, November 14, 2022, peacefully at home with family at his side. Billy managed his illness with strength and grace and wanted to spend as much time with his family as possible. On his final day he was surrounded by his children, who he adored more than anything else in the world.

Mr. Kervin was born on March 7, 1939, to G.B. Kervin and Ruby Broussard in Falco, Alabama. He moved to the Florida Panhandle in 1943 from Bradley, Alabama and has been a resident ever since. Billy was a veteran of the United States Air Force as an Air Traffic Controller to then move on to a full career as a master carpenter/cabinet maker. He enjoyed making beautiful creations out of wood along with being known as a beekeeper for his wonderful tasting honey. You could always find a jar on the counter at The Tropical Palm Restaurant on Main Street in Crestview. The owner, his wife, Orene, would make sure of it.

Billy was loved by all and will be missed dearly.
