Kenroy Family, I am so sad to hear of Kevin's passing. I got to know him over the 7 years he was with Cintas as my company service rep and he became a dear friend over that time. I will never forget his sense of humor, his positive outlook on life and his indeliable spirit. I will always remember the candid conservations we had about life and the challenges he was facing . Even through it all he was always very optimistic. He always had a way to make me laugh and his smile made my day. He was truly inspirational! He will be greatly missed in this physical realm, although I know that he will always be around in Spirit, if anything making me laugh. May your hearts be filled with the love that he shared with the world and may you always be blessed!
With heartfelt Love!
