He was a 1975 graduate of Montachusett Regional Technical High School where he studied carpentry. Kevin came to be known as the "MacGyver" of the family, as there was nothing he couldn't fix.

Over the years, Kevin spent many nights with his friends country dancing, playing games and laughing. He was not only a proud father and grandfather, but also an expert painter, professional mover, emergency car mechanic, advice giver and all-around great person. Kevin's most treasured and greatest pride and joy were his children and grandchildren. He will be missed for his infectious laugh, his over-the-top tickles, his silliness, ability to make anyone laugh, and his generosity and selflessness.
He leaves two daughters, Amber Gikis and her husband Joseph of New Fairfield, CT and Heidi Orszulak and her husband Thomas II of Belchertown; three grandsons, Hudson, Lincoln and Griffin Gikis; his partner Lynn Sullivan of Framingham and her children, Jason Sullivan and his wife Ayla of Upton, Brianna Sullivan of Brookline and Lynn's grandchildren, Kellan and Sienna; six brothers and sisters, Joseph LeBlanc and his wife Dorothy of Leominster, Nancy Koskinen of Lunenburg, Joan Richard of Fitchburg, Janet Berestecky and her husband Paul of Louisville, KY, Gary LeBlanc and his wife Barbara of Ludlow and Cindy Ann Foster and Jeffrey of Fitchburg.
