Ep. 56 Kevin’s Last Walk: A Father’s Journey After Losing His Son
Description
When Barry Adkins’ son Kevin died of alcohol poisoning at 18, his world collapsed. Instead of giving in to despair, Barry strapped on a backpack, placed Kevin’s ashes inside, and walked 1,400 miles from Arizona to Montana—telling his son’s story to students along the way.
In this heartfelt episode of Uncommonly Remarkable, Barry shares how tragedy became a mission, the lessons he learned about adversity and forgiveness, and why he now dedicates his life to helping young people make better choices.
