LT. COL. ANDRE J. KEVORK
Born in 1954, Beirut, Lebanon
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, and uncle, Lt. Col. Andre J. Kevork, who passed away on Sunday, May 17, 2020, in Alexandria, Virginia.
Andre was born to John and Jackie Kevork. Andre’s passion for flying led him to the USA Air Force Academy where he studied Aeronautical Engineering and graduated as a fighter pilot. After 30 years of service and having achieved numerous commendation metals, he retired from the Service in 2003 as a decorated Lt. Col. of the United States Air Force.
Andre was known for his respect and concern for others, and for his unflinching sacrifice, kindness, compassion, and generosity. We lost a great human being. He will be greatly missed: GOODBYE TO OUR BELOVED ANDRE.
Per Andre’s wishes, he will be interred on the grounds of the US Air Force Academy Cemetery in Colorado Springs.
