Kalvin was a man of many talents and passions. He earned his military-based GED at Lincoln’s Academy in Rantoul, IL, displaying his determination and drive. As the assistant manager at the Gateway FS Elevator in Nashville, he approached his work with dedication and integrity. Kalvin found strength in his faith, attending services at Greenview Christian Church in Centralia.
In his leisure time, Kalvin found joy in the simple pleasures of life.
