Visitation was held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, March 5 at Roxie Baptist Church.

Mr. Mullins was known for his love of community and vast knowledge of sports. He bled Dallas Cowboy blue and silver, and Louisiana State University purple and gold.

He was born to John Thomas Mullins and Janice Lynn Mooney Mullins on Aug. 14, 1959, in Meadville, graduated from Franklin High School in 1977 and went on to the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg.

At USM, he received a bachelor’s degree in journalism.

He married the love of his life, Ramona Trombley, on Sept. 4, 1982, and they built a life together. 

He worked diligently at Georgia Pacific and took pride in his work as safety manager until the mill shut down. 

After working at Georgia Pacific, he had the privilege of working under previous Franklin County Sheriff James Newman and his law enforcement staff.

He served the community as a dispatcher for more than 20 years until his health no longer allowed him to serve.

He would always be there to alert the community of inclement weather and other advisories.

He was an active member of Roxie Baptist Church where he served as chaperone for many summers taking youth to Christian camps. 

He would often come back on fire for Christ and with wonderful new nicknames.  

“Kevo” or “Moon” — as he was also known — also enjoyed spending time listening to or watching games on the radio and television along with playing golf, where his putting game was par to none.

Additionally, his love for wrestling spanned many decades. 

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Ervin and Hazel Mooney, and paternal grandparents, William and Hazel Mullins.

Survivors include his wife, Ramona Trombley Mullins; his parents, John Tom and Janice Mooney Mullins; his two sons, Ryan Mullins and Danny Mullins (Kristen); his two brothers, Tony Mullins (Jena) and Brad Mullins; his grandson, Jamie; and his much loved aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
