The Shadow
Kevin Odell Bailey
Kevin Odell Bailey, 62, a resident of Harrisonburg, passed away on Tuesday, August 1, 2023, at the University of Virginia Medical Center.
Kevin was born on October 31, 1960, and was the son of Jacqueline Guiney and stepfather Bill, and the late Dalma “DJ” Bailey and stepmother Marilyn Bailey.
Kevin was smart, funny, and sarcastic, but most of all he was kind. A graduate of Bridgewater College, Kevin was approaching 34 years of service with Valley Building Supply. He used his knowledge of construction and design in his personal life as well, and always had a new project on the horizon. Whether he was building his daughter a porch, his friends a house, or helping his neighbors, he was always caring for others. He had a big heart and supported many local charities. Kevin loved to cook for his family, friends, and fundraisers, and was most known for his spaghetti and pork barbecue. He was a bookworm with an affinity for long novels and loved spending time with his friends, fishing at the beach, and watching golf.
Surviving is his significant other, Annette Foster; daughters, Danielle Bailey and Brittany Bailey; siblings Tammy Stull and husband Charles, and Mike Bailey and wife Priscilla; grandchildren Reagan Bailey and Dylan Bailey; Annette’s children Megan Kile, Bryce Roten, and Brandon Roten; Annette’s grandchildren Whitley Kile, Mille Holder, and Braylon Holder; three dogs Callie, Lilly, TicTok; and numerous nieces and nephews who he loved. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by sister Pamela Bailey and grandson Carson Bailey.
Following a cremation, a memorial service will be held at the McMullen Funeral Home Chapel on Sunday, August 13, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. Dress is casual; please feel free to wear blue, Kevin’s favorite color.
A celebration of life will be held at AMVETS Post 7 on Saturday, August 26, 2023, at 5:00 p.m.
