He was a Great Missionary on his mission, A good friend to many that served with him in the Alaska Anchorage Mission. He's probably serving with President Howard W. Barben even now.

I worked with Kevin and have always treasured the memories of those days. He would make off the wall proclomations and once said I inspired him to find the cheese, ha! The fact is he's inspired me to just be me. It meant a lot to know he really tried to live life with curiosity. Thanks Kev for all the laughs and for asking me many unusual yet poignant questions. Thanks for listening to my silly optimistic answers. Kev, you were a true friend from the minute I shook your hand. I'll miss you.

I can't imagine a family reunion or get together without Kevin. You always did have your tennis racket! I will miss the way you always made me laugh, and the funny things you said. The world will be a little sadder without you. Goodbye for now...keep them laughing in heaven!

Cousin Kevin...always a joy to be around, except when he was stepping on my golf ball, burying it in the grass, or serving tennis balls into the back of my head when we played doubles. I'll miss you Kevin.

I will miss Kevin more than words can say; I will miss his wit, his smile, his selflessness, and the many conversations that we had. Kevin was a “one of a kind” person and the world is less with him gone. Kevin always brightened my home when he would stop by. All of my children think of Kevin highly because of the humor, the quirky comments, and the way he talked with them. Kevin was a very creative and imaginative person, and I was fortunate to have witnessed and participated in some of his genius.
Our condolences to all of you in this time of sorrow; his is with his Heavenly Father now.
Kevin, until we meet…see you later my Friend!
