TOP CHARACTER STRENGTHS

BRAVERY - HONESTY - HUMOR

Our son, Cpl. Kevin M Lehman, Jr., loved God, family, and the United States Marines. He loved spending time with his family, fishing, crabbing, and spending time at the beach. He liked to make memories and make each moment count. He was a devoted son, brother, and Marine.

Character Strength Story:

HUMOR - Kevin was always a jokester and loved to have fun. There are so many stories, but one that always brightens our hearts is when right after he joined the Marines and was about to go off to boot camp, his little sister had her 6th birthday party. True to Kevin fashion, he joined in on the fun and had all the 5- and 6-year-olds laughing and playing. They had the best time seeing him play Duck, Duck, Goose. It's one of our favorite memories and pictures.
