Timeline
Kevin Grant Sharp (December 10, 1970 – April 19, 2014) was an American country music singer, author, and motivational speaker.
Kevin Grant Sharp was born December 10, 1970, in Redding, California.
When he was seven years old, his family moved to Weiser, Idaho, to open a restaurant.
Sharp performed in local musicals in high school, and stayed active in music after his family moved to Sacramento, California, in 1985.
Starting in 1989, he began to experience dizziness and fatigue.
He was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.
Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses, Sharp met the record producer David Foster, with whom he soon became friends.
After two years of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, when still in his early 20s, the cancer went into remission by the early 1990s, although he permanently lost all of his hair as a result of the radiation treatment.
In high school Kevin played football and basketball.
He was unable to play football and basketball during his senior year because of his cancer.
The doctors eventually discovered that the cancer had spread to his lungs.

After remission, Sharp worked at Great America in Santa Clara, California, while working on a demo tape, which he sent to various talent shows, and later to David Foster.
Sharp came on the country music scene in 1996 with his first single: a cover of Tony Rich's "Nobody Knows", which topped the Billboard country chart for four weeks.
The same year, Sharp released his first album, Measure of a Man.

He was named New Touring Artist of the Year by the Country Music Association and nominated for Top New Male Vocalist award by the Academy of Country Music.
In 1998, Sharp collapsed backstage at the TNN Music City News Country Awards, and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, due to problems with steel rods in his hip.
