A Virginia dad who “treasured” his children was hospitalized the same day his wife died of COVID-19.
Two weeks later, 48-year-old Kevin Mitchem was also gone, leaving behind the couple’s five beloved kids, including their four children and one from a previous relationship, his family said.
“He would take them everywhere — take them fishing, take them to the park, take them to county fairs,” his brother, Mike Mitchem, told McClatchy News in a phone interview Thursday. “He would take them to events that they had around town — whatever he could do to get the kids out of the house and make sure they had fun.”
