At the age of 15, Kevin Thompson had the word ‘hell’ tattooed on his shoulder.
“Basically, that was my definition of the world when I was 15,” he said. “That’s what I thought life was about. That’s what I knew my life was specifically.”
Kevin was born the third of six children. His father left when Kevin was just five and his oldest brother, Tony who later committed suicide, tried to help their mother raise the younger kids.
Kevin lost his wife and children in a tragic house trailer fire. With the only people in the world that he loved now gone, Kevin lost the will to live.
“I was so angry with God that I just wanted to die. That was my primary thought,” he said. “Seconds into it, I didn’t care. I didn’t care if I went back into the trailer. I wanted to go back into the trailer. I wanted to die.”
