When I started working in the construction industry after high school I worked with Kevin. I remember he was a very hard working, funny and compassionate person. I think he was in his early 20's and I was about 19. He mentored me and taught me a lot in the short time we worked together. We only worked together for about a year or two but in that time we became close friends. Eventually He moved on to another company and I ended up going to college and leaving the construction industry. We lost touch but I always thought how he was doing since he was such a great person. I found out this afternoon that he passed away and I'm very sorry to his family and friends. I remember Kevin's son was just a small baby at the time and every time he would talk about his son his eyes would light up with joy. It was a tough life for us at the time but we worked hard and I saw first hand how hard he worked for his family. Rest In Peace Kevin you were a truly great person. -CR

Kevin would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it (although it probably wouldn't have sleeves) .No validation is needed to know he was a kind hearted gentle soul.Life gives all of us great days and sad days we all travel a road in life at times not a easy task. We who knew Kevin were dealt a very painful day.The road Kevin is on now is joyful loving and eternally embracing with loved ones by his side along with the happiest memories . There is always a special place for Truck drivers.

You had a heart of gold Kevin. You were fearless, passionate, fun and a true survivor. I saw you for who you really were, and you were so special. I'm so glad I had you close to me for an important part of my life. You changed it. I will never forget how you made me feel...loved.
I'll see you again Kevin.
This world will be truly lacking without your vibrant soul in it. I feel so sad just thinking of it.
