Kevin Matthew Wall

August 29, 1989 - May 20, 2018

Kevin Matthew Wall passed away suddenly on May 20th 2018 at the age of 28 in Lehi, UT. His life was marked by love, service, humor and hugs for everyone. His influence on all those who were blessed to interact with him will forever be treasured. Kevin was born in Arcadia, CA on August 29, 1989 to Terry and Susan Wall. He was the fourth of five children and the only brother to his four sisters. He graduated from Arroyo High School in 2007 where he excelled in speech and debate and choir receiving the prestigious “Jeweled A” award. He is fondly remembered by classmates as the “Candyman” for his entrepreneurial ingenuity in starting a candy sales business out of a duffle bag he carried with him, even employing a couple friends. He later put it on resume as “Black Back Industries” and was pleased that his little sister resumed the business during her high school years. He funded a two-week trip to Italy with another one of his sisters entirely on the income from that self-employment. After graduating high school, he attended Pasadena City College for a couple semesters and then transferred to BYU for a couple semesters studying accounting. While in Provo, he worked at the Malte Shoppe serving customers with such charisma that he was sure he earned the most tips. When family would visit for shakes, he would tell us that he made them with love and care, but not tenderness. He left Utah for an extended two years to serve in the Madagascar Antananarivo Mission from January 2010 to February 2012 returning home to California a couple days earlier than planned to avoid a typhoon and surprise his parents on Valentine’s Day. His time in Madagascar changed his perspective on life and those he served will reflect on his influence on them to better love and serve those that others might overlook. He moved back to Utah in March of 2012 to live with his sister in Lehi, UT. He held many jobs there from mixing powdered drinks and chalk for color runs, to answering technical support calls for Capital One credit cards, to working in food service at a hotel and finally at Spicy Thai Express. All of his employers and coworkers have appreciated his work ethic and genuine enthusiasm for pleasing customers. During that time, he also held many close friendships that became family to him and who have been deeply impacted by his legacy of Christ-like love and service. Kevin is survived by parents Terry and Susan Wall, sisters Angela Wall, Jennifer Teng, Felicia Marshall and Briana Wall; nieces Hailey, Hannah, Sadie and Kenzie Marshall and Zoe and Sophie Teng and nephew Nicholas Teng. He is preceded in death by grandparents Robert and Bonnie Wall and Merlin and Phyllis Sorensen.
