Gone but not forgotten, I miss you Kevin and it's so hard to believe it's been nearly fifteen years since you left us. We worked hard at Alcoa and played hard after work. I remember yours and Ashley's apartment and who could forget the feeling that an earthquake was happening when those trains came right into your kitchen, it was so loud! I visit you on occasion and will again this year of our Lord 2025. Tu ameris et desiderari.

Your Friend, Wayne Smith

I knew Kevin from school. He was always kind and very easy to get along with. I will never forget his amazing smile, and infectious laugh. I was blessed to be able to run into him again years after we graduated and was happy to see that he was the same fun loving person I remembered. He will be missed and my heart goes out to his friends and family. May we always remember what a wonderful person he was.

John, June and Family, please accept our deepest sympathies in the lost of Kevin. Our hearts are heavy too.


The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss, but the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-bye for now to someone we love.


May today's sorrow give way to the peace and comfort of God's love.


It will be the little things that you 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'm so very sorry for your loss. Nancy Smith & Tim Ennis

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
