I met Kevin last year while we were both attending the VA. We became friends almost immediately, I spent the summer in a residential treatment program at the VA, Kevin texted me regularly to check on howI was doing and also gave me an incredible book to read before I checked in. He was an Air Force vet and I'm an army vet. Selfless service and loyalty are 2 of the Army values and Kevin showed my what true loyalty and selfless service looks like. We talked regularly while i was in residential treatment showing that Kevin cared for others even at the most difficult times to do so. He was extremely intelligent, I feel that i am smarter just by knowing him. As a fellow Kettering resident, I will speak for the whole community when I say, we lost an incredible Human being in Kevin. I feel truly blessed that I had the opportunity to know him even if it was for only a short time. Take a knee brother, I'll see you at the final rally point.
