Kevin was a 1992 graduate of Reading Memorial High School, a member of the football team and area Civil Air Patrol. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Science with honors in 1996 from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Kevin joined the Blue Angels in September 2005 and had accumulated more than 2,500 flight hours and 200 carrier arrested landings. His decorations included the Air Medal, two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, and various personal and unit awards. Sadly, he was killed after his aircraft wing struck the tip of a tree and crashed in a residential area. The team was in the process of forming its trademark Delta triangle formation when his F/A-18 Hornet crashed. He is survived by his father, John Davis and mother, Ann, of Aiken, S.C. and two brothers, Christian, who is a Navy supply officer, and Phil, who is a teacher in China.
