Not sure what to say?

I first met Kevin at the Stratton Building (Arena Food Service), He was a great guy, we butted heads a lot when we worked togather but never lasted long. Kevin had a good heart and helped me out alot. He even took my husband duck hunting once he really enjoyed himself. I remember watching fireworks with him and his family one 4th of July. Kevin loved to entertain. I later worked with Kevin at Crossroads. Kevin will be missed. All my love and Prayers to his children whom I know he loved so...

Met Kevin at crossroads ford. Liked him and appreciated his sales technique. No pressure and telling it like it is . As a result I bought several cars and trucks from him. Even had friends buy from him. We had a place in the Shawnee Forrest close to his parents Even after his retirement we kept in touch by telephone great guy and will be missed by many. Prayers to family.

Katie, my prayers go out to you and your family at this very difficult time. Prayers for all of you.

We will all miss him. We came into the Patton Family via Ryan. They welcomed our crazy family and embraced us. What a great bunch! The matriarch, Nancy, was a joy. She was the tie that bound this family together; and still does even without her physical presence. Kevin used his sense of humor to put people at ease; he stayed true to himself. They both loved their three children deeply and celebrated them. Talking with them, you could hear their joy as each grandchild came into their life....
