Kelvin Barfield, the second son of Johnnie and Irma Jean Barfield, was born August 11, 1964 in Douglas, Georgia. Educated in the Flint Public School System, Kelvin graduated from Southwestern High School in 1983. Kelvin loved God and accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior in his teen years. Kelvin became a member of North Star Baptist Church in 1995 upon relocating to Flint, MI. Kelvin was employed with Michigan Battery but nothing compared to the work he did for the Lord as a Youth Department volunteer for several years. Kelvin, affectionately known as “Nubby,” met and married his love, Lacey Hampton in Flint, Michigan. Together they have raised their son Anthony to be just like Kelvin; loving, strong and kind. Nubby loved to play video games and watch (and play) his favorite sport…Football! On any given NFL Game Day you could find Kelvin rooting for his favorite team, the Washington Redskins. Kelvin was a devoted family man and was always available to help in any way he could.
