Kevin, sorry I just saw this or I would have been there for your services. I went searching for you on the internet tonight and found this. Thank you for being my friend in school. I always thought you were a good brother to your siblings, and a not-so-bad ballplayer. You were certainly a good guy.

I´m so sorry to hear about Kevin. I had no idea he passed. He was such a great guy and I have fond memories of growing up with all the Kearns boys and spending time with Kevin in high school and college. My condolences to your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. He was a great friend of mine close to forty years. His humor, wisdom, and faith changed my life. Over hundreds of discussions over hundreds beers, he coaxed me from the dark side to conservatism in my values. His faith renewed mine. He visited frequently when I moved out of state. His awesome defeat of cancer invigorated me when I faced my own battle. We never lost touch throughout the years. I was making plans to visit him in South Carolina when I learned to sad news. I will never forget him. I will miss him dearly. I pray for the comfort of his beloved family I these difficult times.

This is my loving and at times complicated brother. He lived a full life always looking for the next adventure and challenge. When I read of his outdoor adventures, I could see we left off Pilot, and paraglider... and I am sure much more. So much more to share about this amazing man. If you can, come to the funeral and the reception. The remaining 4 brothers miss him greatly as well as our wives and nieces and nephews.

Kevin and I were classmates at MHS in the 70's. I remember his as a really good person. The last time I saw him was at our 20th MHS Class of 1976 Reunion. Since MHS and LHS students went to school together for 3 years before they opened LHS we decided to invite 1976 graduates from both schools to attend the reunion. It was a good time and I was glad to talk with Kevin for quite a while. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. RIP Kevin.
