I AM SO HAPPY THAT GOD HAD PLACED KEVIN BRINSON IN MY LIFE. KEVIN AND I WORKED TOGETHER SERVING THE CITIZENS WE CAME IN CONTACT WITH ON THE JOB AS POLICE OFFICERS. WE BOTH TALKED ABOUT HIS RELIGION AND DEDICATION TO GOD OUR CREATOR. I AND OTHERS KNOW THAT GOD HAD KEVIN BRINSON IN HIS PLAN AND HIS WORK ON EARTH WAS FINISHED. KEVIN HAS BEEN CALLED HOME TO DO A NEW JOB AND WATCH OVER US.

Kevin was an inspiration to all who met him. He never wavered in his faith. He loved the Lord and he loved you Cyndi. He was a devoted father and talked about the children every time we talked. I loved Kevin and his spirit. God's Angels gained a mighty angel when he left this earth. Remember we will see him again. He is waiting, joyfully. Love Sharon and Bob Duncan

As we face this time of life that we all fear when it comes our way, We pray that God will give you the grace to endure this time of grief.
Pray that these messages and Bible scriptures that I put together will comfort you at this time of sorrow,
Mark DAntzler 1st cousin
COMFORT IN TIME OF NEED
Hold on to these 7 My’s to keep you strong in your long hard road of life a head of you!!! I pray
that this will help comfort and strengthen you at time of sorrow!!!
Jesus’ heart is your true refuge, and to Him you now may flee;
Even when your hopes are sinking, He will still a true friend be
He will soothe your lonely spirit: He will love and bless and say,
“Come to me, and I will comfort you, today and every day.’
Psalm 18:1-6 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Kevin you were one in a million. I can't believe i had the chance to be lead by such a Godly man. You helped me when life was rough and made me laugh when the youth was just hanging out. I remember my first "youth' event, was at your house, having a Christmas party and a gift exchange. It was so much fun from then on i knew i wanted you to be my youth pastor. I cant tell you how much you meant to me. You're well missed. Love you Kevin. I will still babysit your kids for free! Atleast once cause i still owe ya.
Love Cassie Waldron.
Forever Inspired.

Mrs. Brinson and children, keep Kevin near and dear to your hearts, he will never be gone nor forgotten. I enjoyed the talks that Kevin and I shared about God. Like myself I knew he was a man that loved the Lord and the youth. Remember Jesus wept so it's okay for you all to do the same. May God continue to bless you, and make his face to shine upon you, Mary Sapp...AKA Retired Detective Sapp

Kevin was a great and wonderful man. He was a very happy and out going person. I have never herd a bad thing about him. I remember one day my husband and I saw him and we asked him how he was doing and all he said was I can't complain I'm here today. I have never seen someone stay in such high spirits while fighting cancer. He is a great follower of god and will be missed. He is greatly loved. Gone for the moment but will never be for gotten.
