Mr. Kermit Charles Landress, Jr.
September 3, 1962 - February 14, 2014

Kermit Charles Landress, Jr. was born on September 3, 1962 to Kermit (Ken) Landress Sr. and Patsy Landress in Miami, Florida. He grew up in Miami with his older sister Linda Landress-Casani and older brother Larry Landress getting into as much mischief as he could. He carried this tradition throughout his life adding joy to his and others' working environment.

He went to Miami-Dade College to get his AA degree in Funeral Services. Kermit worked for Baldwin-Fairchild Funeral Homes for the next 16 years in a managerial capacity, making funeral arrangements and caring for bereaved families. He was then stricken with non-hodgkins lymphoma. Following diagnosis and treatment Kermit worked for Rutland Guttering. He spent the next six years selling gutters on multi million dollar homes, and achieving the record for highest sales company wide.

Kermit had a thirst for life and adventure, including skydiving, travel, and flying lessons in a Cessna aircraft, but his number one passion was golf. Upon taking a job at a golf course, he was able to feed his passion and play every day, improving his game and doing what he loved.

Kermit is survived by his wife, Theresa Landress, his daughter Crystal Landress Tumolo, his son Kevin Landress, stepdaughters Nichole Bacheller and Christina Juliano, stepson Joseph Juliano, and granddaughters Aria Tumolo, Alexandria Bacheller, Kayla Bacheller, and Jaden Luke.

Kermit was a loving husband, father and friend. He will be greatly missed and remain forever in our hearts.
