He was a member of the Pikes Peak Range Riders. Mass of the Resurrection will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019, at St. Joseph Church. At the family's request no food or flowers.

Sorry about the loss of Kevin. We served together in the National Guard, we both worked together to bring the Vietnam Wall to Pueblo in 2016, but above all he was a good friend. His smile, how he greeted you, and his friendly comments that always found a place in my heart. We will miss you Kevin, Thanks for being there for us

So very sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. Was hopefully looking forward to seeing him at our upcoming 55th class reunion for Central High School on 10/19. Knew Kevin through high school and proud of him and his accomplishments. RIP, dear friend. I am sure that you will be sadly missed. God must have needed another "Angel" in Heaven!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

It is with great sadness I read of the passing
of Kevin. I've known him for a long time even
tho I dont live in Pueblo. He has always been
a gentleman, kind and very professional in his
work. He added humor to his career in the funeral business. He always had time for me when
I visited Pueblo or conducted a funeral at St.
Mary's. He will be missed but now it is obvious
God wanted him home with Him. Prayers to his
wife and family. God bless.

So sad to hear of Kevin's passing. He was a mentor to me when I started working at George McCarthy Funeral Home. He taught me a lot about the funeral business. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family.
