Kevin D. Bacon

I went to Cornell U with Kevin and was with him the night of his accident. Kevin's immediate determination to return to Cornell and graduate after only missing 1 year of school has stayed with me my entire life. He was the ultimate gentleman who shared a zeal for life and a boundless enthusiasm that was contangious and has spread more than you will ever know. He was loved then and I know will continue to be loved and carry on as an inspiration to many... YITB, Mark Tamis

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

I'm very sorry to learn of Kevin's passing. I saw him around and about, and he always had a smile and a positive attitude. He leaves us all with happy memories -- and will be missed. Our thoughts are with you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Kevin's family and all those that he touched. Such a charming guy who truly inspired all with his constant perseverence.

Kevin will truly be missed....the memories and his spirit will continue to live on. My prayers go out to the entire Bacon Family.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Kevin's passing, though I will hold the memories of the many times "out and about" with him in the Gold Coast of Chicago! No matter what the occassion, Kevin was there celebrating with us all, bringing laughter and smiles to the many who admired him! God Bless and I know he'll be with us in Spirit in the days ahead of us all!

I worked with Kevin at Verizon Wireless for the last 5 years. I remember first meeting him and thinking how strong and determined he was to have a handicap and still go through daily life with a smile. I never once heard him complain and he was always positive. More recently, I recall the look on his face when he spoke of his home he was buying and the completion of his Master's degree. He was certainly not a quitter and became an inspiration for many. I know this is a great time of...
