Holly and boys, You have our deepest condolences. Kevin,I, and our girls have fond memories while you attended Redeemer and the boys' participation in VBS. I don't know if you remember us seeing you at the train in Western Springs for the Chicago Marathon but I remember Beth saying what a nice family and so enjoyed helping in church. Kevin's passing saddens our hearts deeply but know we keep your family in our prayers as you mourn your loss yet rejoice knowing he is with our Christ and Saviour.

Holly,
Please know my prayers are with you and your family. When Kevin started as an underwriter with State Farm, he was on my team. He is without a doubt in Heaven's Hall of Fame with a crown full of jewels for all the people he helped during his life.

Kevin and his family joined Prosper UMC the same day that I joined. I loved sitting in front of him, as he had a good singing voice. When I sat on the row behind him, I could see how much he loved his boys and his family. It was obvious what a warm loving man he was and how much he loved his family. You have my deepest sympathy and my prayers.

Kevin was so kind and patient. He did my initial interview 10 years ago after patiently taking my calls every Monday morning for 5 months as I checked on the status of my application. He took a little extra time with me after my interview to give me some encouragement and coaching, which made a huge positive impact on the confidence of someone just starting out in the workforce - and really in life. Kevin's impact is something I will carry with me and pay it forward.
Your family has been and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
