Today is may 30th 2025
It has been 16 years and 3 1/2 years since the Tragedy of February 12, 2009 when the lights went out in Two Beautiful young 20 year old Son's, (also with Kevin was SKYLAR K BROCKWELL, also 20)
life ended, and everyone's life changed.
Kevin is my son
He is truly missed every second of every day for me!
I have nothing but memories of my son, him playing with his sister being a big brother what a delightful Son he was. He brought me joy every second of his life. I Love you my only Son! KEVIN was the best son a mother ever had.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and Skylar, your daughters who just turned (16) Wow life is so hard ever since that morning..
See that early morning sunshine was outside my bedroom calling my name, mama, mama, mama, over and over, when I woke completely up I said, what's wrong Kevin son what is it?
He said mama I have just spent 5 hours with GOD in my room!!!!! What???? I said, are you ok? What are you saying? He said, mom I love you but I'm going to die today!!WHAT?? ARE YOU CRAZY WHAT ARE YOU SAYING KEVIN?? I was in shock. What do you mean please don't talk like that Son! I love and adore you with my whole being, you are not going to die..
He said Mom, tears flowing from his eyes and mine telling me I don't know when but God told me I'm going to leave this world today. I love you you are the best mother a kid could have, I need to tell you how much you mean to me. And at the kitchen table we sat I tried to sit but had to move, so I cooked a huge breakfast because my daughter was with child and would be getting up soon, so many things going through my head, as he continued to say beautiful words hugs kissed my face a hounded time's. A while later my daughter Casey came down stares and we all were in the kitchen Kevin, Casey, Skylar, me, and we talk for hours,
So many things going through my head, I was in shock and couldn't not believe what he had told me, us all. Around 3pm that afternoon My daughter and Skylar were going to his father's for a bit and Kevin said Mom, I'm gonna ride with them and I was still so nervous trying not to think and I said of course my boy,
Please yall come right back, or should I drive yall, no we are fine it's OK love you
9pm my calling them over and over finally they show up. Wow I was worried...
I went out the front door my son went in the back door, and he went back out , I went in the front door calling his name walking to the house to back door when I hear him in the front so I turned around and went back through the house and out the front and
Kevin was walking to his car that he had pulled on the other side of Skylars van, so I didn't see it.
He said I will be right back running to the store be back in 5 minutes............
That was the last time I seen MY SON KEVIN, AND SKYLAR.
MY Heart has been broken since and still today.
I miss you so very much My Kevin mommy misses her Son.
Your Daughter is amazing
I know you have been watching over her. I wish my whole soul that night never happened!!!!!!
But I can't. I do know
That GOD HAD OTHER PLANS AND ITS TAKING ALONG TIME BUT I FINALLY SEE LIFE DIFFERENTLY
EVEN THOUGH MY HEART IS FOREVER BROKEN AND THE LOSS OF YOU has taken its tool on my heart mind and soul. But God was right there with me the whole time and I am a different person today. The world has changed so very much and it's Crazy. Kevin just crazy. I know your with me I know so many things now.
I will never forget
I will never forget
I promised you! I will always
Continue to talk to you and love and miss you.
Love you always
your mom
Julie T Hubbard
Forever with me
I may be alone but I have you and all kinds of others around me ( in the red birds, blue birds, yellow birds all the special little birds that visit
I see in in the stars
My Boy, My Kevin. Mama loves you so very much
God continue

I met Kevin through my son Skylar. He was a very sweet and respectable young man that made a great impression on my family. He enjoyed Skylars birthday with our family and had a great time at our home. He was truly excited about the birth of his daughter and nothing meant more to him than his baby and his family. I am deeply sorry for such a loss to the family, and as you all know, I am here for you whenever you need me.

To all the family I send my deepest condolences. There are no words that can describe the pain that we are all feeling or the void left in all of our hearts. Kevin was going to be my son-in-law, and the father of my grandchild. I have had the pleasure of watching Kevin grow into a man waiting to be a father. He worked for me at our body shop and at my resturant. He was a Very hard worker, and even helped Skylar to get a job and work every day saying, "Get up! We have babies to take care of!" Their relationship growed, along with ours. I was hard on him but I loved him very much. He made my daughter soooo happy with his laugh, smile, and caring personallity. He was a Capricorn, it was just bred in him to be loving. He helped my daughter in so many ways,(me too). He made us think. He was always thinking on how to make thing better. He was also very determined to get what he wanted at any cost. To Julie & Mike, you raised a very hard working & loving MAN. Whom was becoming a father himself. I remember the day we went and toured the hospital (Im glad he got to see where his daughter would be born) we were standing in the nursery window looking at the babies and he got weak in the knees and said, "me & Skylar will be in jail before our girls turn 15!" We laughed. He was getting so excited about the babys arrival. I also remember when the ultra sound showed it was a girl, he was in such shock! He so badly wanted a boy. But I guess God knew the plans. I miss his smile. His morning rituals, which included, "FIX ME EGGS CARIN!!" I wish I could hear it just one more time. Now I only hear it in my dreams. He had so much to look forward to. Now his daughter will carry on his name and life. She WILL know who her father is and always will. -For anyone wondering how Cierra is doing, the best she can. She misses him sooo much. Everything she sees and does reminds her of Kevin. She will keep his memory alive! I know Kevin is at peace now and will always look over the love of his life and his daughter forever. I will love & miss Kevin N. Taylor for ever. Thank-You Lord for letting us know such a great man. May you R.I.P. Kevin

Kevin was my life. I had so many plans for us. We were getting so close to having our own house and starting our lives as parents and adults together. Words honestly cannot express the feelings I've felt over the past few weeks. I think about him with EVERYTHING I do and it hurts so bad. The only thought that helps is to know they're at peace. The worries of life are gone for them. I've learned SO much from this and my life will NEVER be the same. My entire attitude for life has changed. I will make sure his baby girl knows who her daddy was and how unconditionally he loved her. His funny loving spirit will be kept alive FOREVER in my heart.

I knew Kevin well and i looked at him as my brother. he lived with us for a while and we got to know each other very well. He was a very fun person to be around. Kevin and Cierra were meant to be and thats a fact! Im so glad Kevin is the father of my niece. He would've been such a great father. I miss him SO much! He is in our prayers. I LOVE YOU KEVIN!!!!

I was so shocked when I heard of Kevin's passing. One memory really sticks out to me. We hadn't been living in Stony Creek very long and were eating dinner. We heard a knock on the door, so I rose to answer it. Kevin (about 9 or 10) was standing on our back porch with the biggest grin on his face. "Can Morgen come out and play?" he asked, the smile never leaving his face. Morgen told me she remembers playing with Kevin and said he was one of her first "little boyfriends" when she was young...though the rule was that she couldn't have a boyfriend until she was sixteen. The Kevin standing at my backdoor is the Kevin that will live on in my heart. Please know that the Lord will not give you anything that you cannot handle, through Him, naturally. May God bless Kevin's family in friends in the difficulties of the coming months.

Kevin, what can I say he was a very full spirited you man and always on the go. One thing that stands out to me was last summer we were all swimming at Beth's house and I have a dislike for going under water. Kevin was so very determined that I WAS going under. He tried numerous times to dunk me and finally succeeded. He was so very proud of himself over that. I spent a lot of time at Julies and saw him becoming a very responsible man. He was so excited about his new baby girl and was looking so forward to being a dad. All the changes he was making in his life were for that beautiful little girl who is now just months before entering this world. Kevin is most definately going to live on through her and so on. May god bless you all and cherish his baby girl.

Kevin I will miss you so very much. I would always try and talk with you and get you to see some of life's other joys. but you always had a zest for life and i was always jealous of that of how you lived for today and i have always planned for the future. I now know that the future may not get here and all the planning that i have done would never be enough. i have always LOVED you and I always wanted the very best for you. You had such a bright future. Your mother and father will miss you very much but they will see you again one day when they are called home and i am sure that you will be waiting at those gates saying what took you so long. I have never in all my life kevin to be so proude of your mother JULIE (my sister) she was such an inspiration to us all. I am so sorry that i was not there enough. I hope and prey that she finds comfort in knowing that her special little man is home playing in Heaven. Kevin i know you will always watch over your mother and your unborn daughter. From time to time let your mother know that you are there with her. Your grandmother (Judy) will miss you a lot she loved you so much and you could never do any wrong in her eyes. Everyone will miss you in there own way. I know you will be missed and i know that you were loved so very much!!! may you forever be at peace. I love you i miss you.

I am very close to the family, and as they know my thoughts and prayers are with them every day. Kevin was not only my neighbor, but a friend, and like a brother. I am so proud of the way he had turned his life over to the lord, only a few months before his passing. I am witnessing every day how the lord is turning this horrible event into so many good things. Nine souls that I am aware of, have been turned over to the lord. We have two baby girls on the way. Old friends that have not seen each other in years have been reuninted. Forgivness has been given in situations where before you would have never expected it. Those two beautiful young men that I am proud to call my friends have made a very big impact on so many lives. Their death was not in vain. It was all a part of God's big plan to bring people to him, so that when we get ready to leave this earth, we too may be READY, just as Kevin and Skylar were. They were ready, and now they are at home just waiting for all of us to join them one glad day. I can't wait. I love you guy's. Beth Hopson

I take great pleasure in having wonderful, exceptional memories of a young boy, so full of energy and a twinkle in his eye (just like his Dad). My heart and prayers go out to Mike, Julie, Ann, Roger and anyone else who had the pleasure of sharing in the life and the raising of Kevin. My road at night is a little brighter now knowing that the twinkle in Kevin's eye is now helping show me the way in the darkness of night.
