Bristol, VA - Kevin Joseph Bise, 53, of Bristol, VA, passed away on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 at UVA Medical Center. Kevin was born to Lowell Mason Bise and the late Patsy Arnold Bise of Glade Spring, VA on June 26, 1962. He was married to his high school sweetheart, Loretta Davenport Bise, and survived by the pride and joy of his life, his daughter, Megan Lee Bise of the home. Other survivors include his sister Debbie Bise Crawford and her husband Tim of Chilhowie, VA; brother Lowell (Joe) Bise and his wife Debbie of Glade Spring, VA; and several special nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. Kevin was a 1980 graduate of Patrick Henry High School and attended VHCC where he had studied Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. He was employed by the maintenance department of King University, Bristol, TN. Most recent previous employers include the maintenance departments of Bristol City Public Schools, Washington County Public Schools, and Virginia Intermont College. Kevin was a dedicated family man, making him the best husband and father to his wife and "baby girl". His passions consisted of caring for his family and friends, hard laboring work, and his great love for rock music. He was a talented guitarist and huge avid Kiss fan. Our Hillbilly Rocker loved sharing his music with others and frequently passed along music videos for others to enjoy. All who knew him, loved him, and knew he could always be counted on to help a friend in need at any given point in time. He would give the shirt off his own back to help others. A graveside service will be held at Mount Rose Cemetery in Glade Spring, VA on Friday, January 15, at 11a.m. with Pastor Scott Price and Chaplain Brian Alderman officiating. There will be no visitation prior to the service.
