Not sure what to say?





Brott Family,

I did not know Kevin personally, my daughter Brooke Fosmore attends Sparta Schools, she is good friends with Allie and our heart goes out to her and her family. Brooke is a cheer leader for Rocket Football and have heard many wonderful stories about Kevin as a coach. He will be truly missed but not forgotten...God Bless to all the Brott family and friends.

I am very saddened to hear that Kevin has passed away. I will always remember playing with him. I called him Baby Kevvie when we were toddlers... and then as adults I always teased him by calling him that, even though he was so much taller than me! God Bless You, Kevin. My prayers are with your children, brothers, and the rest of the family. Rest In Peace.
