Obituary For Kevin Lee Sheffield
Kevin Lee Sheffield, 63, passed away peacefully Friday, September 26, 2025, at UAB. He was born June 21, 1962 to the late Bobby Gene Sheffield and the late Sybil Powell Sheffield. He attended Friendship Baptist Church. He worked at Goodyear Tire for 17 years of service. Kevin was a kind hearted man and the love for his family was evident in everything he did. His greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren. He faithfully supported them in their sporting events and loved making memories with them on special vacations. His hobby was cars and especially drag racing. He earned the nickname "Transmission Man" because of his ability to teardown and rebuild transmissions as well as engines. Until a near death experience with Covid in 2021, you could often find him tinkering in the garage.

I worked with Kev at Emerson Electric (Daybrite) for several years. He was known as a goodhearted kind man, and liked by everyone! We traded hot rod parts from time to time. I'm saddened that his time on Earth was so short. I have nothing but fond memories of him. God bless his family.
