I only knew Kevin from the few weeks in English that I spent with him. However even in this short time I saw what a special person he was. He helped everyone feel comfortable and put everyone in a good mood. Even though he had only been in our class for a short time, one would easily see that everyone was friends with him and he was truly a special person. Especially on the few occasions we talked about the Red Sox, I could see why he had so many friends. I was awestruck when I learned of his death and I don’t think I’ll watch a Red Sox game without thinking of him. I can’t think of the right words but I wish that I had more time to get to know him.

Kevin,I dont know what to say... you were a part of my everyday school life at HCC, we talked numerous times about life and what to expect and what to not worry about. You made me realize not to waste my time on things that were'nt important to me and to learn as much as I could. I will take you with me each day. May god smile apon you as your journey becomes a new begining. <3 Always LB

Kevin was not the common student seen across campus. He was a great guy, the type that would do anything to help anyone because he saw good in them. I didn't know him very well, but well enough to know what he stood for and well enough to know that no matter how bad the situation was, he was always there and would try to lift the mood (and would always put a smile on everyone's face).
God bless, we're praying for you big guy!

Kevin was a member of my English class and everyday i looked forward to hearing what he had to say about the red sox game and how our English teacher is crazy for giving us homework over a weekend that a game was scheduled. Kevin was one of the most genuine kindest people i have ever met and he once stood in the rain for 45 minutes in North Hampton because i said i might be in the area that Saturday. I don't think anyone else i know would have stood in the pouring rain to just say hello. I can honestly say Kevin always made me laugh and made our English class a much happier enviornment to be in, he is missed by us all and i offer my condolences to his family.

Kevin. I'm very very saddened by this news. He was a great person. A noble and great person. He never once did anything bad to anyone. He was funny, kind, caring and just the kind of person you would want as a friend. There was no good reason for him to go. It's a great loss of a great person.

I may not have known him long, but I still consider him to be a very good friend. I had liturature classes with him and always helped him out whenever he needed it. He was always so nice.

I will miss him and never forget. I hope I see him again some day. 'Till then Kev... Go RedSox!

Your good friend,
Dave

Kevin was in my English class. He was such an amazing person with a bright light around him. He had the purest soul and I can remember him loving the Red Sox. He would get mad at our teacher when she would give homework when a game was on. He truly brightened the lives of everyone around him. I will never forget Kevin and his open, free attitude. He taught me to not sweat the small stuff. My condolences to his family and loved ones, I know how much you meant to Kevin, he was always so proud to be an Uncle and loved you all dearly.

As Kevin's professor at HCC, I send deepest condolences. Kevin was a genuine, unique and even gentle man, who by his presence in my class, enriched many lives with his willingness to share his perspective and his life experience.
He was a man of value and will be missed by his fellow students and by me.
