"Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family." I believe this is what Kevin would have wanted. I have known Kevin going on 10 years or so. He hired me as his Realtor in Utah. Moreover we became friends and had some amazing discussions. May he rest peacefully. My condolences to the "Clan" and all family members and friends. The Gales

Karen, Karl & family,
I cannot tell you how shocked & saddened I was when I heard of Kevin's passing.
I saw him a few months ago at Coachmen's and remember how well he looked in spite of his medical issues.
As you guys know we spent countless hours on the RaceCar and I have fond memories that will never be forgotten both from "wrenching" & chasing crooks!!!
My thoughts & prayers are with you and please contact me for anything!!!

It's hard to understand why people we need so badly in our lives are taken from us so fast and with out notice, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of a well-lived life by your dad. I wish i could be there to help take away some of the pain you are having. It will be the little things that we will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter, and although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.
I Love you guys so much! I will be there in spirit on Friday as we lay this man to rest and celebrate his life.
Love "little Jason"

I didn't even know this wonderful Hero, however he should be recognized for his years protecting the Community. Life can be a struggle at times. There are no words that can express the pain you must be feeling. Please accept my condolences. My prayers are with the
family and Friends of this wonderful man. Peace be with you. xoxo
