It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Kevin Hinton, a cherished husband, loving father, devoted son, and dear friend. Kevin was born on February 9, 1985, in Long Island, New York, and tragically departed this world on June 4, 2026, as a result of a devastating car accident. Though his time with us was abruptly cut short, the impact he made on the lives of those around him was immeasurable. Kevin was the beloved son of Marge and Kevin Hinton Sr., who instilled in him the values of compassion, resilience, and humor. He was predeceased by his precious daughter, Kamala Hinton, and his son, Lindell Hinton, who both left this world far too soon, leaving an unfillable void in his heart. Kevin is survived by his adoring wife, Leona Bassinet, with whom he shared 15 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a life filled with love and laughter, nurturing two beautiful children who were the center of Kevin's world. His legacy lives on through them, and his spirit will forever guide and protect them. A graduate of Malverne High School, Kevin was a man of many talents and interests. He was known for his quick wit and infectious humor, often bringing smiles and laughter to those around him. Whether he was fishing, singing, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen, Kevin found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He was also an avid car enthusiast, with an impressive collection that showcased his passion and dedication. Kevin was an active member of the Second Baptist Church in Baldwin, where he was not only a participant but a beacon of hope and fellowship within his community. His presence was a blessing to all who knew him, as he navigated life with kindness and a quiet strength that will be remembered by many. Though he did not serve in the military, Kevin's life was marked by service to his family and friends. He was a pillar of support, always putting the well-being of his loved ones before his own. Family was his pride and joy, and he cherished every moment spent laughing and playing with them. In a private ceremony, Kevin's life will be celebrated by those closest to him, honoring the remarkable man he was and the indelible mark he left on the hearts of many. The family expresses their heartfelt gratitude to the staff who have made this memorial possible, ensuring Kevin's memory is cherished and his life celebrated. Kevin Hinton's departure leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his spirit, love, and laughter will live on in the hearts of those he touched. In his memory, we find comfort and strength, knowing he is now reunited with his beloved children, Kamala and Lindell, in eternal peace.
