Mr. Kevan E. Calhoun

Obituary Kevan Eugene Calhoun was born into this world on June 3rd, 1994, in Kansas City, MO to Tonja Lofton and Van Calhoun. Kevan was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather Van Brown Jr. and by his pastor, Pastor Marvin Jackson. Kevan’s early education was provided by the Grandview, MO public school system and by the Lee A Tolbert Community Academy in Kansas City, MO. He graduated from Grandview High School in 2012. His propensity for computers, electronics, and networking led him to DeVry, where he spent a year learning more about what he liked to do. Kevan was first a member of the Greater Holy Temple, Church of God in Christ where his maternal grandfather is now the Pastor. In later years, he became a member of the El Shaddai International Ministries, under the pastorate of Pastor Marvin Jackson. He worked alongside his pastor in the multimedia ministry, tending the El Store as well as singing in the choir. From an early age, Kevan was a helper. You would often find him helping those around him or trying to find a way to get the needed help for those that he cared about. It is no surprise that he agreed to be an organ donor, and that he was able, by this act, to help save someone’s life in the end. Kevan departed this life on August 29th, 2021, at the Overland Park Regional hospital in Overland Park, KS. He leaves to cherish his memory his mother, Tonja Lofton of the city; his father, Van Calhoun (Debbie) of New Jersey; sisters, Vanessa Donnelly of Los Angeles, CA and Reyvan Calhoun of the city; brothers, Micah Smith and Isaiah Calhoun of the city; grandparents, Pastor Willard and Lois Lofton and Sharon Culley (Tom); uncles, Anthony Lofton (Tiffany) and Terrance Lofton (Shanita), an aunt, Leslie Cooper; his closest friend Ashlee Fisher, and a whole host of cousins, friends, and church family. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 11, 2021, 11:00am at Greater Holy Temple COGIC. Interment XII Gates Memorial Gardens. Visitation will be from 9am-11am at the church. Service conducted by Lawrence A. Jones & Sons Funeral Chapel. Condolences may be shared on our website. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Mr. Kevan E.
