Every time and life is lost to melanoma, we know that the world has lost someone with immeasurable talent and worth. The family has a loss that can never be filled and a light has gone out. I pray your family has wonderful memories to share and reflect on, that brings you peace and joy and laughter. God bless you and keep you.

I only met Kevin one long ago afternoon, way before his melanoma. He was so fair and handsome, so thoughtful and courteous. I regret I never got to know him better, though I knew he was THE best because I know his mom, his dad, aunt, and grandmother. An unimaginable loss for them and all the lives he touched.

Kevin, thank you for all the wonderful memories we had as cousins growing up together. You never failed to make me laugh until the tears came, amaze me with your talents, and inspire me with your bravery. I couldn't have asked for a better one and only cousin. Love you.

I'm another MPIP fan of Kevin's. I never failed to be astonished by his spirit, his endless courage and joie de vivre. I am astonished to see he was only 28. Kevin was an inspiration to many many of us and we shall always remember him with great love. May his memory be for a blessing.

Dear Brenda. I am devastated to hear that my fellow warrior has passed away. I hope Kevin is an Guardian Angel now, taking care of all his MPIP friends from above. Brenda, you are in the hearts of the whole MPIP family.

Just reading about Kevin on the MPIP and following his story made me so want to meet this fellow 'warrior'and his strong, beautiful wife. May Kevin rest in peace, so very young to go. God must have work for him on the other side. And Brenda, you take care. I also lost my husband, suddenly, at age 27 (he was 29). I have been there, God bless you. Any words of wisdom, please find me on MPIP (KBC123) Peace and Light to all.

Dear family of Kevin, I "met" Kevin on Melanoma research foundation. A kinder, funnier person could not be found. I am so saddened to hear of his passing, but i really am glad that he is no longer hurting or struggling. I pray for your family, as they deal with his loss. God bless you all.
