I was very sad to hear of Kevin's passing today. Kevin and I were friends from when we were kids going to middle school together and playing baseball. We both went on to VA Tech. We lost contact as we grew into adults but I will always remember him as a great and kind person. My deepest sympathies to your family.

Karen Atwell

November 20, 2008

I send my deepest sympathy to the family. He will be missed terribly. I saw Kevin quite alot as he was trying to get his job done at the plant. He was someone you were willing to do what you could to help him out. I enjoyed his little stories about what was going on in his life and his family. What a priviledge it was to have known him. Again, my deepest sympathy and God Bless.

Kevin...... your son, husband and father was a coworker of mine. We never met personally, but we conducted much business over the phone. He was an outstanding supplier and an exceptional individual. He worked extemely hard and we could always count on Kevin to come through for us. Personally, I'm very glad to have known him. He was a top notch guy.

He's gone home to be with the Lord and He'll keep Kevin for you now ..... Kevin, you will be greatly missed.

I'm very sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you all,
