Almost 7 years and still greatly missed!! So many memories...4 wheelin', hanging out in the barn with the "girls", our Michigan road trip...FUN times!! Kevin truly had a heart of gold, a laugh that was infectious, and was as genuine as they come! He will always be in my heart...❤

I joined the Facebook page about being from Woodstock even though I just lived there for 10 years. It led me to some teacher friends that I had while there. When Kevin's picture and obituary came up, I said to myself I think I taught that guy. After calculating the years and asking a friend, I realized I did remember him from Northwood Junior High. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I remember him as a nice young man. Prayers for his family and friends at this difficult time.

We called Kevin "DW". He loved his cows, making hay, his old 99 Powerstroke, and Baconators from Wendy's. Most of all though, Kevin loved to make people smile. We are honored to have been able to laugh and work beside you.
