Not a day goes by that I don't remember your final moments on this earth. August 2nd, 2008 in the motorpool of Camp Syberson, Balad, Iraq. Our deployments spent together, training, working out at the gym, or late night drinks. You are missed you "Hillbilly Gangster" lol. Thank you for the times we had and I apologize for it taking me this long to write on here. To the loved ones and close friends of Kevin, thank you for sharing such a great person to all. You will be forever missed.

I can only hope that you are looking down at us and keeping a close eye on that beautiful little girl you gave us. She looks (and acts) so much like you, it's a wonderful thing!! Thank you so much for Kindon. I only wish you were her to enjoy her too! I love you baby and miss you sooo very much.

Hey Bro,
Seems like just the other day we were driving to STL at like 2 oclock in the morning for no reason or hanging out at Anthonys. SO much has changed since youve been gone, I wish you could meet my wife and kids man they would get a kick out of you telling stories about our pasts like me getting drunk at Anthonys and passing out in the snow or throwing a party at moms. I still catch myself thinking that youre not really gone. I hope you are happy in Heaven but at the same time I want to be selfish and have you back here with the family hanging out at Moms which I wish we would have done more its amazing how looking back things seemed so important if we only would have known huh. Well I love you bro until we meet again. Dont make it weird

Hey Kev,
Here it is veterens day and I want to say thank you!! Today is hard because I wish I could call and say thank you or even better see you and tell you but since I can't I'll tell you now.. As I stood there at the court house today for a korean vet memorial that Mrs Whitson was doing I could only think about the tears and sorrow that everyone shed for you when you took your last trip thru Steelville and wished over and over again that, we could go back in time and redo all that so we could still have you here, but I understand god had a better plan for you and you were there with us today just like every other day.. Til we meet again my friend... Love and miss you more than words can say :)

well here it is over two years ago and still missed like crazy.Today is a day for thanks its veterans day and i want to say thank you! I'd give anything to be hugging you as i say thank you but im sure im not the only one with that thought. Your still here with us in memories and love and thats something that could never be taken away. You were only here on earth for a moment but loved as if you were here for eternity you name will be respected and carried in our heatrs for a lifetime. I miss your fun loving personality and ways of life but we will meet again and no more pain or sadness.. I love you kevin and miss you til we meet again R.I.P and thank you!

November 11, 2010

Well here it is over two years ago and still missed and not forgotten. Today is a day that we say thanks for all you have done it would be so amazing to be able to have a hug when saying this... I think about you often and how much i miss your fun loving personality but the memories of you are still very strong almost as if you were here just yestarday. I'd give anything to have you here today to tell you thank you and give you a hug but im sure it would be a long line of people waiting to hug you and tell you how much your missed... Dont make it weird...

Follow The Rainbow To Heaven.

A Soldier had die out on the
battlefield;

Broken hearts are weeping For
Them,

But take comfort of knowing
that God had sent Them a
rainbow from heaven;

The Souls of the Soldiers
have gone to there home
in heaven,

Our Loved One's has follow
God's lovely rainbow in the
sky;

All the way to the end of the
sky.

That leads all the way to the
other end of the Lord's
house in heaven,

So just keep on praying and
trust that God will send us
that same rainbow in the sky;

Where Our Loved One's are
waiting For You and For Me at
the end of the rainbow in
heaven.
