Kevin Holland
Kevin Christopher Holland, a dedicated public servant and firefighter of Mulliken, MI died March 12, 2022. Kevin, 49, was born on December 16, 1972, in Madison Heights, MI to Howard Holland and Jacquelyn (Bylski) Kuebler. Kevin was a loving husband and father with a great sense of humor. As an EMT Specialist and firefighter he showed special care to his patients. Working at Eaton Area EMS, he saved many lives and helped teach others to do the same, taking great pride in his work and the importance of helping others. He was passionate about his job, working on the ambulance and providing care for people during difficult situations, helping to teach first aid, CPR, and babysitting classes to people in the community, assisting with teaching future EMT’s, and he had a key role in emergency management and preparedness for Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital. Kevin also served as a volunteer firefighter for Roxand Township Fire Department.
In high school, Kevin played first base for his high school team, which inspired his love of baseball and a lifelong passion for the Detroit Tigers. To say Kevin was a fan of baseball would be a gross understatement. Kevin lived and breathed the Detroit Tigers, and baseball season was his favorite season of the year. In honor of his love of the sport, friends and family are encouraged to wear their Tiger’s gear to Kevin’s services.

Kevin is survived by his wife, Jessicca (Cain) Holland; children, Erika and Rory Holland; parents, Howard (Bea) Holland and Jacquelyn (Gary) Kuebler; siblings, Jeffry (Christina) Kuebler, Kenneth (Rozlynn) Holland, Sean (Christina) Kuebler, Coreen (David) Sloney and Michelle (Jeff) Gabalis; several aunts and uncles and a collection of nieces and nephews; and his EMS and Firefighter families.
