Early life
Born on February 8, 1971, Kevin Garvey, Jr. was born to his namesake, a tough but fair Vietnam War veteran. Kevin grew up in Mapleton, New York, and his father served as chief of the Mapleton Police Department. When he grew up, Kevin became a cop himself, serving under his father's command. He married a woman named Laurie and had with her two children named Tom and Jill. Over the years, Kevin became disillusioned with his wife and unhappy with his marriage, leading to a tumultuous relationship with his family, especially Laurie. He also developed a smoking habit, which he repeatedly tried to quit. ("The Garveys At Their Best")
The Sudden Departure
When the Sudden Departure occurred on October 14, 2011, Kevin was traumatized like much of the rest of the world, and witnessed a woman he was cheating on Laurie with depart. Soon after this, the Garvey family fell apart. Laurie left Kevin to join the Guilty Remnant, Tom left college to join Holy Wayne's cult, the Divine, and Jill, while she stayed, grew incredibly antagonistic towards him under the influence of her friend Aimee. Kevin's father also started hearing voices, and he was declared insane and sent to a mental institution. Kevin then became the Chief of Police, putting him in close contact with Mayor Warburton, and often bringing him into conflict with Matt Jamison over his provocative pamphlets denouncing that the departed were all good people. He also grew a hatred of the Remnant for taking his wife from him, as he realized just how good he'd had it before she left. ("Pilot")
First anniversary
While jogging on October 13th, Kevin comes across a stray dog, who is shot dead by a man from afar. Kevin visits the dog's owner, who does not want it back, saying it ran away three years ago, when her husband disappeared. On her front lawn, Kevin notices a stuffed deer. He is then informed by his deputy, Dennis Luckey, that he is late for the city council meeting regarding the following day's Heroes Day. At the meeting, Kevin warns Mayor Warburton that the Guilty Remnant are likely to appear and provoke the citizens of Mapleton, which the mayor ignores. ("Pilot") After having dinner with Jill and her friend Aimee, Kevin agrees to give them his car for the night. Kevin violently wakes up the next morning from a nightmare, during which he ran over a deer. Realizing he slept in, Kevin discovers that Jill never came back home, and that his entire kitchen is destroyed, with scratches on the walls and a broken door. Making it in time for the Heroes Day parade, Kevin confronts Jill, who informs him that she buried the dog he kept in the trunk of his car. During a speech by Nora Durst, members of the G.R. appear; as predicted, the Mapleton residents are angered by their presence and approach, and a violent attack ensues. Kevin and the police force defend the members of the G.R., including Laurie, who was part of the group. ("Pilot") Later that night, Kevin sees the dog shooter from the day before at a pub. Too intoxicated to chase him, Kevin instead makes his way to the G.R. cul-de-sac residence, where he confronts Laurie and begs her to come back home. Instead, he is thrown out by the guards. On his way home, Kevin once again sees the deer, in front of his car. Getting out, Kevin asks the deer if it was at his house last night. Suddenly, a pack of wild dogs appear, and devour the deer. The dog shooter stops by Kevin, informing him that these are not their dogs anymore. Kevin asks if he is awake, and the man responds, "You are now." The man starts shooting the dogs, and instructs Kevin to join him. ("Pilot")
