kevin, you were my first friend and my best friend. i miss you and think of you everyday. i would give my life for you to have yours back without a question, your initials are tattooed on me so that as long as i live, you live. your memory has kept me going at times when i really wanted to give up. words cant express the pain that losing you has caused me, but at the same time, words cant express the appreciation i feel for having you as a friend for so long gave me.

Jessica, como te escribí hace un tiempo, lamento profundamente el dolor que tu y la familia de Kevin deben aún estar viviendo. Perder a un ser querido siempre es difícil y aunque no hay muchas palabras que puedan reconfortar, la convicción de que el recuerdo permanece y habrá algún día un reencuentro puede ayudar a sobrellevar los tristes momentos. Un abrazo desde Chile, mis condolencias y las de mi familia para ti y los seres queridos de Kevin.

To Kevin's Wife, Mother and rest of family,
I am incredibly sorry for your loss. Though I have never met any of you, I was a fraternity brother of Kevin's @ Theta Chi (WPI). Kevin was a great brother and always there to help anyone whenever needed. Always one of the most social guys in the house, whom everyone liked. He always had great stories and made everyone laugh and made sure everyone was having a great time. I'll always keep good memories of Kevin with me.

Conocí a Kevin poco después de que le propuso matrimonio a mi hermana. En es corto lapso de tiempo pude vivir en persona el amor que tenia para Jessica. También logro en poco tiempo ganarse el amor de la familia. Sera siempre recordado y estará en nuestras oraciones.
