I'm not sure how you get through losing your brother so young, we lost ours in a car accident the same day as you. We were fortunate to have ours for 36 years. My prayers go out to you two and your family I know what what you feel.

I wish there were words I could say to ease your pain and bring peace to your minds, but there are not. I've known Kevin since we were kids, and just know that he touched every single persons life that he stumbled upon. I'm thankful for every photograph and memory that I have of him, and I wish his family peace of mind and give them all the condolences I can. He not only will be remembered, he will NEVER be forgotten. RIP Kev, miss you buddy.

Kevin
By Stanley Smith
(a Classmate of andrea's)
In the Sky we see a light
Of memories and love
in our hearts we weep inside
knowing he is up above
the times you cherish
and memories so dear
will hold your heads up
and make up for ones lost years
God made him
and you made him stronger
you taught him to love
it breaks your heart that he's hear no longer
he would've wanted the best for you
to break out from the pain
he probly wants you to make it through
and hopes you'll see him again
we all want you all to get better
and be free from pain and strife
so in this heart felt letter
i wish you all good lives
In the Sky we see a light
Of memories and love
in our hearts we hold inside
All of kevins love.

I will always remember Kevin's smile in class and the gentle "nudges" I would give him to wake up before the other teacher saw. I remember him walking around proudly wearing his Grafton Indian football jersey, no matter what the score. Kevin's sucesses can be measured by quality not quantity and it is obvious he has deeply touched so many. I am glad to have known him.
Our thoughts are with all of you.

Dear Jim, Carol, Ryan, and Andrea,
Our hearts are broken by the loss of Kevin. You raised him to be such a polite and caring person like your entire family. Words cannot express this tragedy and it hurts us deeply.
Jim you were such a great role model to him. Volunteering your time coaching, raising money for sports and working at the fields in Grafton. In his short life he accumulated so many friends and he helped others and volunteered just like his dad.
We were so lucky to raise our families living side by side with you, gramma, grampa, and Dan. There are so many great memories of vacations, holidays, and birthdays. I can still see Kevin and Kristen driving up your driveway in the powerwheels. Growing up our kids were always together laughing and having fun.
Kevin you had such a great smile and always made us laugh, imitating grampa and your other great imitations.
We can't believe you are gone. I wish it was a bad dream. Words cannot express our sorrow. I know someday we will all be together again just like we were on Carroll Road. We love you and we miss you, Uncle Mike, Auntie Nancy, Melissa, and Kristen

Our hearts are broken by the loss of Kevin. You raised him to be such a fine, polite and caring person like your entire family. Words cannot express the tragedy...it hurts us deeply.
Jim you were such a great role model to him; volunteering your time for community service, coaching, raising money for sports and working at the fields in Grafton. In Kevin's short life he accumulated many friends, he helped others and voluntered just like his Dad.
We were so lucky to raise our families living side by side with you, Grandma, Grampa and Danny. There are so many great memories of vacations, holidays and birthdays. Growing up our kids were always together laughing and having fun. We always remember you putting wads of butter on your pancakes when you were younger. I can still see Kevin and Kristen driving up the hill on their power wheels.
Kevin you had such a great smile and always made us laugh, imitating Grandpa Joe and "other people."
We can't believe you are gone, I wish it was a bad dream. Words cannot express our sorrow.

I had met Kevin for the first time about a year and a half ago when I was introduced to him by Jenna Marsden. He was such a funny guy. From that point on he always went out of his way with a random call, text message, or IM just to say hi and see how things were going. He encouraged me with everything I believed in. And gave my advice about all things in which he was correct about. My Condolenses go out to the Vulter Family. God Rest your soul Kevin, Rest in Peace. Keep and eye on all of us down below. We will meet again someday.

Goodbyes are not forever
And nor is it the end
When angels come to call away
A loved one or a friend.
The empty place that's left behind
Within this world we know
Reminds us just how brief a stay
We have before we go.
So when it's time to bid farewell
To one we'll dearly miss
Let's just say we'll meet again
and promise them with this......
The true gift is that love remains
Although we now must part....
Until forever and beyond
I'll keep you in my heart.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Dear Jim, Carol, Ryan, and Andrea,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Kevin was the type of kid nobody will ever forget. I know i never will. The lasting impression he left on me was the kid who would make anything into a joke and would be there in a second if your needed him. I think a part of everyone who knew him passed on along with him Friday morning. He will be in our hearts forever. Rest In Peace Kevin, you will never be forgotten
