Kevin you are one of the sweetest souls I will ever know, as Todd would say "you are my brother from another Mother". The world is not going to be the same without you to make us all laugh & feel good. You were always there for us all & you saw the world like so few people do. I know you are in Heaven making the Angels laugh..they are so lucky to have you. Of course you are my Angel....All my love to you forever!

When we worked together for my uncle todd... Kevin always helped the day go by. Either singing and making his own words to the song or cracking jokes. But i will always remember how he would never buy new work boots... Instead he would glue on the soles and duct tape them till the glue cured. They would last him for years. R.I.P. Kevin

Kevin was a friend to my brother before his sudden death years ago. He became my friend after I met him and he spoke of my brother with good memories. He passed no judgement on anyone and always had a funny story to share. I will always be grateful I met Kevin who had a great sense of humor that will be forever missed. God rest your soul Kevin and prayers to your family.

So many people love you. It is rare that we ever know how much we are loved and thought of as kind,funny,thoughtful,and a well liked person in our years on this earth. Our sorrow often comes from not ever telling someone until they are no longer sitting beside us. If you were sitting beside me Kevin, I would tell you that. I have total faith in God and that all of the things that we wanted you to know, will now be a story told to you through Him to you. I just wish it had came from me too. Praise be to God.
