Lemons was the founder and director of Higher Calling, a 100-plus member choir, which will mark its 27th year in gospel music this year.

He was raised around gospel music, served as the vocal director for the Netflix film “Come Sunday,” according to an earlier release announcing his death.

His father – the late Wilbert Lemons – was the director of the historic Atlanta Masonic Choir, which was founded by Kevin’s grandmother Annie Ruth Lemons.

Bishop Hezekiah Walker, in a statement, called Lemon one of the kindest and most humble artists he knew.

“His love for God seasoned everything that he did, and his palpable love for people was an extension of that. Kevin Lemons was just a beautiful human being and he will be sorely missed.”
