Charles “Kevin” Jenkins, 53, of East View, passed away on Monday morning, June 13, 2016, in the United Hospital Center. He was born in Cleveland, OH, on September 26, 1962, a son of Wilma K. “Katy” (McPherson) Jenkins, who survives in East View, and the late Charles W. Jenkins.
He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Dawna Pratt Jenkins, whom he married on October 4, 1986.

In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his grandson, Gabriel Hunter, and his in-laws, James and Madelyn Pratt.
Kevin graduated from R-W High School, Class of 1981, and also from the United Technical Center where he studied small engine repair. He had worked with McPherson Line Works, and then worked as a timberer with Woodson Pallet for over 13 years.
