Kemp David Mead

1961 ∼ 2014

Kemp was born on October 11, 1961 in Dallas, Texas and passed away at his residence in Beaumont on September 3, 2014.

Kemp’s love of sports was life long. He participated in multiple sports in high school and was a great supporter of the kids in his extended family and the sports activities they were involved in.

He also loved being at the water. Sitting and organizing his tackle box, fishing, sitting and watching the fish eat his bait was peace and serenity to Kemp.

Kemp is survived by his wife, Julie Mead; parents, Kenneth and Patricia Ann Mead; step-son, Blake West; brother, Greg Mead; sister, Kristy Mead Dunn and her husband Stuart; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Nathan and Bettie Bibb; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Jodie and Curtis Brown, Rinda and Daryl Phelps, Preston and Sherrie Simmons, Joby and Wendi Simmons, Chris and Melissa Simmons and Lori Sanders; 26 beloved nieces and nephews; 1 great niece and a host of extended family and friends.

Friends who wish may direct memorial contributions in honor of Kemp David Mead to the Hardin-Jefferson Athletic Booster Club, PO Box 490, Sour Lake, Texas 77659.

Always with a smile, Kemp will be missed. What a great football/baseball player and natural athlete, I remember a game where Kemp had an interception near the goal line and I think he scored a touchdown for Forest Park. He clicked his heels in the air after crossing the goal line in celebration. While watching the game film together as a team we all had such a fun time watching that touchdown over and over forward and backwards laughing the entire time.Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss from the entire ILES family.
