Born on January 19, 1984, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Kevin was the beloved son of Jennifer Mills and Kenneth Frank. He brought joy and laughter to all who knew him and leaves behind a legacy of compassion, dedication, and humor.

A graduate of Bingham High School in 2002, Kevin pursued his passion for firefighting through Fire Science and EMT courses, ultimately joining the Department of Natural Resources as a Wildland Firefighter. Over his 20-plus-year career, he held multiple leadership roles and was highly respected in the wildfire community for his broad knowledge and dedication to fire safety education.
