Kevin was a courageous, bright young man with a wonderful sense of humor and a generous heart. I first met him in Baghdad and we stayed in touch. Our prayers are with his family who I know loved him so.

Kevin,
You were the most genuine and personable person that I ever had the honor and pleasure to meet.
I will miss you dearly.
It makes me totally NOT understand god's plan.
You are one of the best human beings that I had the opportunity and honor to have known, even if, for a relatively a small part of our lives. (5 years)
I will miss you dearly!! (I won't cry here, yeah right, my mother could not control me...)
Kevin, I hope that you are now at peace and in a MUCH better place than this place because this place is far from heaven. (as you know)
I will (hopefully) join you in due time, if I am considered worthy, like you.
If not, as you well know that I am a former Marine and can take it! (I hope.....)
All my love (even for an Army Soldier).
I love you like a brother.
I am and will be your friend for all time and more, (eternally).
See you soon, (hopefully 50 years+ from now, but no matter, if earlier, the better, either way.)
I have had your six, now, then, and forever.
Todd (USMC, ha!)
Love you bro, I will see you soon.
