Rest In Peace Kevin. My memories of you growing up just down the road from me are good one. Riding our bikes all over the neighborhood and being chased by dogs. Baling hay at our farm. Spending time together with our families. Riding the school bus together. May God Bless LeeAnn and the entire family at this time .
