Kevin was one of the sweetest men I have ever met. He was so kind, considerate and compassionate. He was a good friend to everyone he met. He truly had a heart of gold. My thoughts and prayers are with Kevin's family and Johnny. I know he will be greatly missed by all.

I loved Kevin. He was so funny and awesome to talk to. It was always great when he worked in at the Craig's because I got to hang out and talk "whateva was on Kevin's mind". My prayers are with Johnny and Kevin's family

Kevin has been a part of my life since we first met in the 5th grade. His parents were mine and mine were his. His brothers were the little brothers that I never wanted, but we managed to have fun anyway.
As we go through life we meet many people. Some that we meet are casual acquaintances and some truly change our lives, Kevin truly changed mine and for that I am grateful. We may have lost touch in recent years but the bond and friendship we lived will never leave.
I will miss Kevin dearly.
Mom and Dad, K & K, and Johnathan, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Where's my lighter?....KEVIN !!!!!!

Kevin you will always be a part of me. Since we first met in fifth grade when I moved to Bellevue you have been a true friend. We were so close in High School that my dad considered you just another son. One of my favorite memories was our graduation trip to Boise with our other best friend Mike. Though we may have been separated by a country these past years, I have thought of you often and will miss you greatly. I know you're up there watching over us. Visit us often in our memories that we may keep your spirit alive and with us. We love you! By the way, you can keep the lighter!
