I am so sorry for the lost of your dear loved one. It's comforting
to know that God cares for all of us and losing a loved
one is something we cannot get use to. The Bible gives us hope
that one day we can see our dear loved one again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrender his soul for many. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.

I was shocked to hear of Kevin's passing. Although I have not seen him in many years, I will always remember what a good friend he was. He had a way of always being able to make you smile. Even in the worst of times. I find comfort in remembering all of the fun times we had together and he is still able to make me smile. I send my prayers to Kevin's family and to all that loved him. He will be greatly missed!

We got the call that everyone dreads.A link in the chain has been broken and can never be repaired.
You kept us excited about all of your adventures. The love of your dogs that only an owner can understand. The employment that took you to other states and the nice people you met. You became a part of them as you did with us.We won't forget the tiime you helped Esther before any of us could get to her.
You are missed already and we are trying to let the reality sink in.

Love Aunt Dorothy

I am very sorry for your loss.
Kevin was a very good man, when he came to the Shaw Group I worked directly and closely with Kevin getting him up to speed on the project. In that time I got to know Kevin very well, The fact that he loved his Mom and his daughter, his home which it sounds like he had many plans for and of course his beloved dogs. I found Kevin to be honest with his thoughts and gentle in his manner, and had an amazing dry sense of humor, which are rare qualities in this world. I can tell you that we were all shocked here upon hearing the news of his passing. Kevin will be missed.

Brian & Kim:
Kevin was a great guy and a, most memorable, neighbor :-) Cory and I always enjoyed listening to the 'Junior' stories when he came down - and even after I hit both his dogs (yes, I managed to hit both) with my car - he STILL had a smile for me (thankfully, ALL was ok!). He was a truly genuine person. Our continued thoughts & prayers for you & your family.
We love you all - Cory, Brandi, Taylor, Ryan Glidden
