Kevin Hathorn

Charles Kevin Hathorn, 56 of Mansfield, passed away on June 12, 2023, at home with his wife. Kevin was born on July 23, 1966, to Mary Summers Donaldson and Cecil Charles Hathorn in San Antonio, Texas.
Kevin married his beloved wife, Kelly Hathorn, on September 21, 2002, in Kennedale, Texas and together they raised their eight children. Kevin was a devoted husband, father, stepfather, and later Poppy and Pop Pop to his grandchildren. He loved all of his children equally.

He was easy-going and patient and loved unconditionally. When he loved, he loved with all his heart. Family was his priority above all else and he loved his dogs. His even keeled temperament made him easy to talk to and he often stepped in as the go-between for the children to Kelly.

He enjoyed playing softball and played with many teams including the Outlaws and Beer 30 where he was known as the “Kelvinator”. He also enjoyed playing darts. He was an exceptionally talented artist and loved making things with his hands. He loved his hot chocolate milk, candy, especially junior mints and gummy bears, and bacon. He adored his children and grandchildren sharing many special bonds with each of them – including taking them to Ranger games, Kinsler’s world-famous brownies, trips to the “Dirty Clean” aka Dairy Queen for ice cream, debates over whose side of the bed it was, and arts and crafts.

Kevin was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Donaldson, and his beloved dogs, Mercedes, Bentley and Beamer.
