My son Kevin was a participant in the Native Plant Academy, a seven-week program designed to introduce young people to the wetlands, Kevin Poole Jr. spent his Saturday mornings visiting Lake Borgne, scoping out local flora and fauna, and learning about the Mississippi River.He was brave, selfless, a guy willing to help anybody Kevin often dreamed of playing football for an SEC school someday and pursuing a career in coastal management or environmental stewardship he stood out to recruiters, garnering an offer to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks at the University of Arkansas. Sadly we lost Kevin around 5 p.m. Saturday, he and his 5-year-old brother Raheem, his girlfriend Brandy Wilson, 14, and her younger sister Ally Wilson, 8, were near the banks of the Mississippi River at the foot of the Crescent City Connection in Algiers when Brandy slipped and fell into the turbulent waters. Ally went in after her trying to save her, then Kevin went to trying to get both of them, but ended up being swept up in its strong current as well. Raheem went for help. Kevin’s body was recovered in Crescent Park on Monday, May 2, 2022.
