Kevin S. McGlinn, a resident of Draper, Utah, peacefully passed away on Friday, July 9 at Intermountain Hospital in Murray surrounded by his loving family after a brief illness. He was 60 years old.

Born in Camden, New Jersey on August 1, 1960 to Virginia (Driscoll) McGlinn and Edmund McGlinn, Kevin was the youngest of six children and spent most of his early years in LaFayette Hill, Pennsylvania and Ocean City, New Jersey. After attending LaSalle Catholic College Preparatory High School, Kevin went to the University of Miami and obtained a bachelor’s degree in Communication and was an avid football fan. He then went to work in the travel industry starting with Trans World Airlines and continuing to Worldspan where he met the love of his life and future bride, Kim Pullen. He then went on to a long career with Royal Caribbean International where he was a multiple award-winning Sr. National Account Manager handling their largest e-commerce accounts until he retired in January 2020. Most recently, Kevin worked for Traeger Grills and was able to share his passion of grilling through sales. He is well known for his famous grilled jalapeño poppers (along with his beautiful blue eyes and fantastic sense of humor).

Kevin and Kim were married for twenty-seven years until his death and shared a love of travel and adventure. Throughout their marriage, which includes two children, Kyle (24) and Kendall (18), they traveled extensively around the world and lived in Atlanta, Georgia, Sarasota, Florida, and currently in Draper, Utah. Kevin enjoyed mountain biking and hiking and especially loved to ski on the “champagne powder” in Utah with his son. He also loved to take our precious puppies, Baxter and Beau, to the dog park with his daughter. Although he didn’t like to admit it, he also enjoyed our kitty, Calypso, and liked to bribe her for affection using treats.

Kevin was steadfast in his faith as a Christian and member of the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Draper. He is preceded in death by his parents and brother, Jim McGlinn. He is survived by his wife, Kim (Pullen) McGlinn, his children, Kyle and Kendall McGlinn, his siblings, Virginia McGlinn, Maureen Rome (Don), Michael McGlinn, and Edmund McGlinn. Kevin also adored his family through marriage and is survived by his mother and father-in-law, Beth and Stan Pullen and brother-in-law, Mike Pullen (Beth) and many nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Draper, Utah on Monday, July 12 at 10:30 am and will be followed by Mass at 11:30 am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Brain Tumor Association (www.abta.org) to support research for Glioblastoma Multiforme in Kevin’s memory and would be greatly appreciated.
