Kevin C. Appell

MERIDEN - Kevin C. Appell, 40, of Meriden - Let's face it, on November 19, 2014 the world lost someone that just can't be replaced.
He came into this world kicking and screaming on May 28, 1974 in New Haven, son of Roger A. Appell and the late Linda (Deming) Appell. If he wasn't running from his older brothers, he was on the track with the track team at Lyman Hall where he graduated class of 1993. Kevin was a guy who started as a cook but ended up helping us all sneeze a little less, working for Protein Sciences, who manufactures flu vaccines.
He gained a reputation, not just because of who he was, but because of the work ethic and pride he displayed. As a true "Dead Head" he lived the life, and it was anything but ordinary. Possessions weren't his life, people were, and as such he was always the guy finding a good deal on a hoody at the Salvation Army, or an outlet store. He loved chilling outside and golfing, (FORE!). He loved rocking out to the bands String Cheese and Shinedown. He was pretty good at fishing and could raid your refrigerator and make one hell of a meal. Oh wait, did we mention the numerous flip-flops that met their demise as a result of his shuffling around?
He left behind his biggest fans: his dad, Roger, of Wyoming, his big brothers: Michael, also of Wyoming, and Brian and his wife Amy of MA. Hey, did we also mention he had two awesome nieces, Ella Rose and Fauna Belle, both of MA? And who could forget his partner in crime, Jeremy Waycott, of Wallingford, along with some aunts, uncles, cousins, and if you were lucky enough to be called a friend of his then, of course, you?! We all know the party of life continued when he wrapped his arms around his Mom, Linda - God, it must be awesome to see her again.
Dude, here's the deal, you should totally head down to the B. C. Bailey Funeral Home (let's face it, it's probably nicer than his friends' houses!) on Saturday, November 29, 2014 from 10:00 in the morning until 1:00 in the afternoon. Be advised, if you're wearing a suit, WE WILL LAUGH AT YOU! Hoodies are preferred, and if you wanna wear flip flops, cool, and boy do we mean cool, after all it's winter. Then at 1:00 PM we're all going to behave ourselves and say some pretty nice things. Burial, well you're off the hook because it's private. If you wanna do something to recognize his coolness, then you should make a donation to the Shriner's Hospital and Burn Center; that can do so much more than flowers. Donate online at www.shrinershospitalsforchildren.org or via snail-mail to: Office of Development, Shriners Hospitals for Children, 2900 Rocky Point Dr., Tampa, FL 33607.
