This is the story of a little boy, Kevin Maccellean Massey, the tenth child of ten children born to Mr. John Calvin Massey, Sr, and Dorothy Martin Massey in Gray Court, SC, on March 14th, 1970.

Kevin was a curious and loving son. He was raised in the church, and he excelled at schoolwork. Kevin graduated from Laurens District 55 High School in 1988, where he was valedictorian and spoke at his graduation. From an early age, he was a leader. He went on to graduate from Clemson University with a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering in 1993. He started his career with Hoerst Celanese in Mount Holley, NC, that same year. He began as a chemical engineer and process technician there but quickly rose to become a department manager. During his time in Mount Holly, he met his lovely wife, Pamela Dorsey Massey. They were married on April 28th, 2001.

Kevin was a born leader. He took a position in the following years in Baton Rouge, LA, as a mid-level manager. Even though he found tremendous success in the chemical industry, he never forgot his roots, where he was raised strong in Mount Carmel AME Church. He stayed in touch with the church no matter where his career took him, and he often returned to visit. Kevin remained steadfast in his faith. While his career took off, he maintained his values his mother, father, and church family had instilled in him. He used these values in his everyday life in his position as a site manager when he relocated to the Ohio area. He treated everyone he met with fairness and respect. Whether it was the security guard or the CEO of the plant, they were all the same in his eyes. Kevin had an infectious smile that endeared people to him.

At the peak of his career, Kevin and his wife were determined to get back to the south where they were both reared. He took a position as a site manager in Covington, GA, then in Saraland, AL, before ending up as site manager for Arkema in Pineville, LA. As a man, Kevin was able to touch many lives in the position he was in. He made everyone he met feel special and important thanks to his Christian values.

On Friday, December 26th, 2025, at 8:04 pm, Kevin completed his tenure here on Earth and began his walk with GOD. Kevin has joined his mother, Dorothy Martin Massey, his father John Calvin Massey, Sr., his sisters Mary Laine Bowser, Patricia Ann Massey, and brothers John Calvin Massey, Jr., Jimmy M Massey, Michael T Massey, and Curtis E Massey.

Kevin is survived by his sister Debra Massey, brothers Charles A Massey, Keith Massey, and family pet Cody Massey. As well as nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
