Kevin was born to Danny and Brenda Bruton on Oct. 7, 1970, in Dimmitt, Texas.

Kevin started stock showing in the 3rd grade; he showed blue butt hogs, fine wool cross lambs, and steers. His love was showing lambs, and he became quite exceptional at doing this. Kevin was the President of the Texas Club Lamb Association. Kevin attended and graduated from Texas Tech University in 1994 with a degree in Animal Science. Kevin roped for Texas Tech University and continued roping even after graduation up until 1997. He married the love of his life Krisse Pigg on Aug. 1, 1998, and together in their 25 years of marriage built a beautiful family, having a lovely daughter, Klancy in 2005, and a handsome son, Kreed, in 2009. Kevin adored and loved his children and his wife. He enjoyed all their activities, whether it was washing steers or pigs, watching football or baseball, or anything for his children. Kevin’s presence, contagious laughter, and smile will be missed by his family, friends, and the community of Dimmitt.
