Kevin Olen Jaeger, age 60, was born in East St. Louis, Illinois.  He graduated high school in Collinsville, Illinois. He moved to Texas in 1980 and married Laurie Vandervoort-Jaeger in 1984.  They had 4 children who they raised together in Meridian.  He worked for Ray Miller Construction and W-4 Ranches, INC and then started his own business called “Always Something” providing handyman and construction services.  Kevin worked hard to provide for his family and loved working on his farm.  He renovated every home his family lived in himself.  He enjoyed hunting, fishing, bonfires, camping and exploring the outdoors. He was quick to focus on the good in any situation and always encouraged people to keep learning and bettering themselves.  He was kind and generous and always went out of his way to help those in need.  He spent his last years enjoying time with his kids and grandkids and anyone else who stopped by his place to say hello.

He is survived by his mother, Peggy Jaeger, his sister, Pam Gray, brother, Scott Jaeger, Laurie Jaeger, daughters, Michelle Saldana and son-in-law Alexander Saldana, daughter Melissa Browning and son-in-law Tyler Browning, son, Keith Jaeger, son Kyle Jaeger and fiancé Clara Reyna, and grandchildren: Aj, Tabitha, Dezzerae, Ethan, Emily, Maggie and Eliana, and great-grandson Bentley and many other nieces, nephews, cousins and bonus kids and grandkids.
