Kevin was a wonderful man and will always be missed. Jon and I had shared many special moments with him and the one I remember most was my first time to the CB break in NC. Kevin, Jon and myself all hung out together almost the whole time and just had a blast. Kevin had the type of personality that you couldn't help but love. He was very generous, fun, loving, family oriented, easy going kind of guy. Amy and his girls will always be in our prayers. Kevin we will always miss you but you will NEVER be forgotten!

Kevin was a great friend who did everything for his wonderful family and friends. If you were a friend of Monkey Man's you were a friend no matter what. There had been bumps and bruises along the way, but it all came around in the end. He was so very proud of his family. His daughter's were always a constant amazement to him. Any chance that he got he bragged about the great things that they did. Even though we know that he didn't tell Amy this...he was very proud of her too! He bragged about how well she was doing and about how strong she really must be. He loved his family with every fiber of his body. He also loved the work that he did. And he definitly knew how to enjoy his time off. His hobby made it so that he met people from all over the country and those guys, the "big dogs", thought of them as one of their own. He was an amazing person that could look you dead in the face and say something completly outrageous and never crack a smile. He would make you beleive whatever it was he was saying. He will be sorely missed by all of those who knew him. I know that we will miss him always and wish that there was something that we could do to bring him back to us. But since that is not possible we will always have to remember all those memories and hang on to them. He will never be forgotten. We love you Kevin! Cassie, Mike, Cheyenne, Rodger, and Oveda

To the family of Kevin Edmonson: My parents told me of his passing and sent to me the obit. I graduated with Kevin from Seymour High School and felt I should send my condolences to his family. I have been away for many years and lost track of all my classmates. From reading all the messages I can tell that Kevin had a great life and a wonderful family. My sympathy to all.

When I got the news of Kevin passing it was as though I just lost a family member. Kevin was my family. I grew up with Kevin through high school and moved to Florida in 1985. We were just like brothers helping each other through thick and thin. I am proud to have been his best man when Kevin and Amy got married. I have many special memories with Kevin that will stay with me forever. Kevin will be missed by all, but never forgotten. The Lohmeyer family would like to express their sympathy to Bob, Sandra, Sheila, Amy, Kasondra,and Heather. We know how it feels to loose a loved one, let your happy memories help you through. May Kevin rest in peace.

We were looking through pictures and things of Kevin's today and ran across this letter that he had given to his Dad. we would like to share it with you.
12/25/96
Dear Dad & Mom,
There were many years when you and Mom had given me a gift year after year, until it was time for me to leave and challenge the world on my own. If it wasn't for that one special gift that you gave me, I probably would not be the person that I am today. Sometimes we think that things are good and sometimes bad. But if it were not for your love and directions, I might not have all of the wonderful things in life that I cherish today. So thank you for all the things that you have done for me. So all of the gifts that you gave, the one that probably mede me the way I am, is when all of the good and bad days that you guys made me walk a straight line.
Love Always, Kevin
You were the best son ever, we will always love you, and miss you.
Dad and Mom

Our hearts are heavy
Our eyes are red
Just what is the reason
It's from what someone said
We got the news early on 7-7-07
It couldn't be true that call about Kevin
We sat in stunned silence, our tears aflow
It was hard to believe, gosh what a blow
He was our nephew, our precious Godson;
A friend, a cousin to Scott, Shawn and mostly Alan
Our feelings are strong for past memories
Remembering him always as helpful and carefree.
This poem is short, there is no glee
Just sorrow for Amy, Heather & Kassie;
Mom, Dad, Sister, Grandparents & all,
God only knows why he made him fall.
Poem by Jerry and Carol Goodwin (Aunt and Uncle)
To: Amy, Kassie, Heather, Bobby, Sandra, Bob, Virginia and all the family - God Bless each of you and keep those chins up!

To Aunt Sandra and Uncle Bobby
I can not begin to imagine the pain you must be feeling, the bond between parent and child is one of Gods greatest gifts and yet can cause such heartache when he takes your child to heaven. What an awesome son you rasised! My last memory of Kevin was at Grandma and Pappy's aniversary this past fall. His outpouring of emotion for his grandparents was a testament to the man he had become. His love and commitment for his girls Kassie and Heather and his wife Amy was evident by his words and actions. May you find peace knowing what an incredible son you have.
To Shelia
As your mourn the loss of your brother, may you be comforted in your memories. He was such a good big brother, watching over you as a kid! He will be watching over you from heaven.
To Amy
The bond between husband and wife is always growing and changing, I can remember when you and Kevin were newlyweds and also when you became new parents. May your heartache be lessened through your memories of the time you and Kevin had together. May God give you the strength you will need to continue.
To Kassie and Heather
No father was ever prouder of his girls! His love for you both was evident in all he did and lived for. The bond between father and daughter is so special, as he holds your hand as you take your first steps and continues to be there over the years to pick you up each time you fall. He is watching you both from heaven now, but the bond of love between you will be neverending.
To Kevin
My sister said it best, when she refered to all of the fun we had as kids. Boy how we looked forward to those trips to Grandma and Pappy's house! I am so glad I was able to see you last September, to see you as a proud and loving husband and father and a grandson who cherished his grandparents. Your kind, gentle nature and your sense of humor will missed be all those who knew you.
Our prayers are with all who were fortunate to have known Kevin and mostly all those who love him.
Beth, Patrick, Caroline & Andrew Schumann

Dear Uncle Kevin,
You have always been there for me, We have always had good times together, Like the one when you came up for Great Grandma and Grandpa's anniversary and you drove Me and Heather around and we called you driver James, and There are SO many more they probley would not all fit on this paper, and every time I see a toothpick it will always remind me of you, cause every second of the day you would always have one.
And I just wanna say Thank you SO much for always being there for me and Being the BEST uncle any Niece could ever ask for and I Love You SO much and you may be gone from my sight but you will always be in my heart every second of every day.
I Love You

My heart aches with the loss of my wonderfull nephew. We grew up living and loving along with my other nephews and nieces. Memories are a blessed gift that help us get through our most grief stricken times. Myself, along with Kevin, Alan, Howie, Tori, Sheila, Kim, Chris, Scott, Shawn and all the others have always shared a special bond that was given to us by my mother, Virginia Goodwin, their grandmother. Our shared childhood gave us a lifelong love for our family and friends. We've shared many special times togehter and many sad ones, and we have always made it through because we have each other. Kevin was one of the lucky ones, to meet, fall in love and marry Amy and then have two wonderful daughters whom he shared all he had in order to be the husband and father that he was. I have memories of those Sunday dinners, riding bikes, playing baseball, plaing cowboys and indians, picking blackberries, Thanksgiving's, Christmas's, these things were all done as a family and gave us the most treasured memories and stories to pass on to our children and grandchildren. So even though our Kevin is gone from us, the memories he helped make will live on within all of us forever. We all must grieve, we all must cry, but most of all we must remember that Kevin is now with our Lord and he will be there to greet us when we must step through that door.
Forever a family, forever a friend, forever a husband, forever a father, forever a son, forever a cousin, forever my nephew, forever OUR Kevin....

Dear Amy, Kassie & Heather,
We were so very saddened and shocked to hear of Kevin's sudden passing, and are so sorry for.
This is another hard lesson in life that "Life isn’t always fair". God sometimes has a different plan for each of us even though we may not see it right away at that time.
Kassie and Heather, your dad will always be a part of, and with you. Keep him in your hearts and he will be with you always.
If there is anything we can do to help please do not hesitate to call on us.
Sincerely,
Rob & Donna Dea

As I recently went on a little vacation with my family my life was changed in many ways. For starters I have now been to a place that I have only heard about in stories and seen in movies. The descriptions and the pictures I have seen do it no justice. I was brought back to the ocean a place that I remember being like another world, a place outside of the norm. I found the ocean to be quiet and calm yet full of life. That sounds like such a contradiction in terms. On the surface the ocean is rough with the waves and white water something always moving and never predictable, yet just like in the days of old you can throw a message in a bottle and set it free in the ocean and it will end up hundreds or even thousands of miles away and still touch some ones life in many ways. The irony is not only was I there to feel the water and the sun on my face I was there to visit another part of my family. In this family I found another ocean another living thing full of life. I found this in my Brother-In- Law. Kevin is like the ocean because on the outside he is reaching out and touching every ones life just like a bottle in the ocean. When you are around him you do nothing but smile and want to get from him anything he will give knowing that with it comes a lot of smiles and laughter. You look at the ocean and you ask yourself what do you get out of it. The answers are endless. Every person has something different. To some people in different places it’s a way of food or to live. Others it’s a way of fun to swim or boat. The point is there is so many things you get from the ocean. Again as the ocean gives all these different things Kevin gave many many things to everyone. To his girls he gave the knowledge and courage to live their life to the fullest and to be successful doing it, not only did he expect it he lived it. Being there to listen and to help being there to have fun and make people laugh and have fun in so many different ways may it be in the many things he planned or with his great sense of humor. I keep saying how Kevin is like the ocean. I think the biggest reason I say this is two parts. The first being his well known love for different animals, one of them being the huge turtle. I feel that the reason Kevin is like the ocean is because Kevin with all his traits with all his being will never ever go away. Just as playing in the sand and making that great sand castle we will remember, just like going under water and seeing that bright color fish we will remember, just like trying to get on a surfboard, we will laugh then we will remember. We will always remember everything that Kevin stood for. Because Kevin just like the ocean WILL NEVER GO AWAY!!!!!

To my dear cousin - I will always remember and charish the fun times we shared over the years as children. I can vividly recall the many visits over the years to Quincy and Payson and all the fun we had and even more so the trouble that we got into with you being the leader of the pack! I remember as if it were last week, the farm in Payson and the old barn we would play in, the many Christmas Eve's spent waiting for Santa to arrive, the Saturday nite card games at Grandma & Pappy's (the adults drinking that cheap can beer), and the many laughs we shared in our later years looking back at our escapades.
Our shared sense of humor and your mischievous nature are what I admired most!
My heart aches for my Uncle Bobby, Aunt Sandra and my cousin Shelia as well as Grandma and Pappy. We never expected Kevin to be the reason for the call last Sunday.
Most of all, to Amy, Kassie and Heather - I am so very happy that we got to see you last fall in Quincy! Kevin was so very proud you and so dedicated to his beautiful wife and daughters! He had matured into such a kind old soul much like his dad! Please know that we are here for you with whatever you may need and that you are in our every thought and prayer.
May God Bless your family.
Kevin, I will miss you!
Love, Your Cousin Chris

There are no words that can truly ease the pain of a sudden loss like this....but if caring thoughts can help they are with your whole family right now. I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I knew Kevin and his family from growing up in Payson and now work with his sister Shelia.

Dear Kevin, we never met even though we were cousins. As you can see, I share the same name as your dear grandmother. I only just found out about you thru your sweet sister, Sheila, just before she & family left on their vacation to see you. I'm so glad you all had that time together. I was lucky enough to start working with her and hope to get to know her and the rest of your family much better. I promise to keep them in my thoughts & prayers and hopefully always have comforting words to say. Look forward to meeting you one day.
Your sister, Sheila Dagenais

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know
But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
