Paula, Kevin and Kurt,
How do you say goodbye to someone that has been in your life since you were old enough to have memories? How do you even begin to console two people that are more family than friend?
I don't have the magic answer to either one of these quesions, but I do have love and faith that I am sending your way. I have so many fond memories of all of us together. I remember the light Kevin brought into the room whenever he entered it laughing and smiling. I will miss him always, but am confident that he will continue to shine light for everyone that knew him for years to come. Paula and Kurt, he will be watching out for you always right along with Bill. Can you imagine how loud it is up there now that they are together? They will take care of each other, just as those that love you both will take care of you in the best and worst of times. Love Always, Shawnette

I first met Kevin thru his Mother Pauls, she as been a frind of mine since she came to Fayetteville and work for Short Stop #5 where we worked together. I met Kevin when he came here to live with his mother and saw him just about every day in a different store. He was always in a good happy mood ands willing to help everyone.
KEVIN, you will be missed by all and especially your family and friends.
God Bless you.

Kevin touched my life in the months that I knew him more than others who I've known for years. He was my peace, my calm. He made me think before reacting, and was a part of my everyday life. Anything that happened in my life he was the first person I called to let him know. I will miss everything about him, his salt and pepper hair, his beautiful eyes, gorgeous smile, and the laugh always made me laugh. I spoke to Kevin the day he passed on and I thank God that I was privileged to be one of the people to hear his voice before he was taken away from me. He lives in my heart everyday, and like when he was alive I think of him everyday. I still talk to him like he's still here whenever I'm alone, because I'm not ready to live without him. He will be deeply missed and will always be my dearest friend. I love you Kevin.

Dear Ms. Paula your son has been an ispiring light in my life as long as I have known him, he has always been the one who could change the mood of a person or entire room with a few words or a smile. His presence will be missed but his kind light hearted spirit remembered forever.

To Kevin "catch you on the flip side... God Bless 'em" Go Eagles.

I did not know Kevin for very long, but he was a truly great guy. He was always a very witty and friendly guy, certainly made me feel very welcome whilst I lived in an area that was completely alien to me. Kevin is certainly someone who will not be forgotten.
My condolences go out to his family and friends.

We are so very saddened to hear about Kevin's passing. We loved him dearly. He was a person that knew how to enter a room and make every laugh. We have been sharing many stories of our time knowing him. He has touched many many people. We are all very sorry for the deep loss your family is going through. He will be missed, he will be thought of often, and we will be telling "Kevin" stories, with pride, for many years to come.

Dear Ms. Harlin,

I am so very sorry for you loss. I cannot begin to understand the pain you are feeling, but I pray you & your son will find the strength and comfort that you need to get through the days ahead.

Please remember 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 which says: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in any sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are being comforted by God."

My Deepest Sympathies to you and your son.

Sincerely,
J. Jackson
