Donna, aside from our high school days,some of our best memories with you and Kevin was when our kids were little, and we would go to your house to swim in what Brandon called "the corner pool" LOL.... Kevin was such an amazing person who always made everyone feel loved and welcomed. Can't believe it's been a year.Although we know there is nothing we can say to ease the pain, just know that we are here. Love ya!

Kevin - you had such an impact on so many lives. We still talk about you all the time. I can still hear your laugh, and I can't help but smile. It is sadly obvious that you are gone, but you will never be forgotten. You will be forever missed ~Mike & Kelly Kokot

Kevin, my brother and best friend, I can't believe you're really gone.
I never even got the chance to say goodbye. When you died, a part of me died too. In my heart you'll always be and sharing our birthdays was so special to me. I will never forget all the fun we had and the not so fun times that we shared. I miss you with all of my heart and now I have to let you rest. Brian Clayton 12/24/1963

Kevin was one of my dearest friends in High School. A guy you could always count on to be there if you needed him. I think he was my first kiss on that Rollling Hills golf course!! I remember going to Sabino Canyon, playing touch football, going out to Irvington and the drive-in movies all the while just being friends having fun together!!! We all supported each other and called each other out when we weren't being good kids. He grew into a wonderful man and Donna, you and the girls are blessed to have had him in your life and could call him your rock! I have so many many memories and will treasure them always. Whenever I hear Jason Aldeen's song "Dirt Road" I think of him...Rest in Peace my dear friend, until we meet again.....with love Lisa

Kevin was that big Teddy Bear that people were drawn to. His laugh, and his quick wit were just a couple of his great attributes. The thing I will most remember though is his loyalty to all his friends, and of course his great love for Donna and his girls. I dont think I ever saw him without his smile to greet me. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotton.

Dear Sharon, Matt and family...
He was very young to pass... great looking guy too. It is very hard to lose someone so close to you. What has helped me get through some of the hard times is knowing "our time is set from the begining". You and your family are in my prayers. May God bring you peace.... Leslie Fiorda {cousin}

Lots of great memories of Kevin being my buddy and neighbor in Rolling Hills. We went to our first concert together when we were in 7th grade - we dressed like little hippies and my mom drove us. And there was an old retired gentleman who let us work on his yard and wash his white convertible El Dorado Cadillac to earn a few bucks. When the car was washed, we would drive it around the block and sometimes take it down past the Rolling Hills CC to show off (we were in 8th grade). We had a lot of fun before I moved away. It was great to reconnect after so many years - he welcomed me back into his life just like he always did- as my friend. I miss him.

Kevin was a kind and fair man. He had so many friends due to his ability to give all a chance. He was our eastside Gentle Giant. Sending good prayers to his family and friends.

Donna, Jessica and Erika, no words can ever take away the loss you all are feeling. It is with my deapest simpathy that you all have to go thru this...my words of advice is all I can offer at this point. Hold your family and your friends close....you will need them as they will need you. Your husband and your father was a very special guy that touched alot of hearts, mine included. I wish I could say something that would take away the pain, time will help with the pain. I love you all and I am here for you....Your circle may have gotten smaller but it will become alot tighter...God Bless
