Thinking of you today

Oh I am still sad over this so I re-opened this guest book. Thinking about Kevin again today. Miss him so so much. Wanted to visit Memphis and look him up and in so doing learned of his death. What a tragedy. Too many crazy times and sobering times to forget. My friend and more for years from early 80's to early 90's.

Kevin left an impression on me in his lifetime,as a teen he was always the one who pulled off the most biggest dangerous skate board trick on the ramp,with no fear.As an adult I had the pleasure of trailing him on motorcycles and he rode it like he stole it.He lived life to the fullest every day.And his spirit will be missed.

Hollie, my heart aches for you right now, but you will find that baby Lucca will provide you the strength to keep going. I am so very sorry!! Praying for you all.

I just learned of Kevin's passing and send love to his family. He was a wonderful man whom I had known since our teenage years. Kevin seemed to ripen more and more each time we would run into one another. He always seemed deeply engaged with life, family, and community--a humble hero.

My heart goes out to the family & friends. I am grateful to have met Kevin. It’s been since the early 1990's that our paths crossed, but I can say that he is one of the few in Memphis that I remember. There is a reason that Kevin stands out in my memory... He was one of the coolest guys back then & I am sure he hasn't changed. I am honored to say that he is a friend of mine. Just remember the good times that you and Kevin shared, and have a teary smile (as I am) while you're reflecting on such a great man.

My lifelong friend will be deeply missed. Pig,aka Booger,aka Kevin, always the lit up the room with his great smile and quick laugh...I cannot believe my friend is gone. Hollie, I am so sorry for your loss. We only met once briefly years back, but I could see that you completed him and him you. Barbara, words cannot express my sorrow for your loss. Kris and Chip, y'all were like the brothers and sister I never had, and I cannot tell you what I am feeling upon hearing of 'our' brother's passing...I AM SO SORRY! Many memories, much laughter.One of my best birthdays (in 1978!) included Kevin and an Oscar the Grouch cake on Peabody. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and please let me know if I can do anything for any of you. My e-mail is: [email protected]

He was dearly loved by and made a huge difference in the lives of many refugee and immigrant children through Multi-National Ministries. Bao, Binh, little Helen and the other Bao will never forget him. They will also grow into better people because of his love for him. No matter what happens in their lives, they will know that they have been dearly loved.
