Kevin James Carroll

Kevin and Bonnie,
the two of you have been in my thoughts. Kevin had such an enormous impact on me and on the children at Hunkapi. Just two days ago, one of the At-Risk teens that went to camp with KJ found me on facebook. He had just graduated highschool, missed the horses and wanted to come back to volunteer with Hunkapi. His second question to me was if KJ was still around. In that one short summer he spent with the kids he made a strong enough impact that they remember him 5 years...

My dearest friend Margit and Family,

God only knows how you will bear the loss of your beloved K.J. although I read somewhere that grieving is inherently and mysteriously connected to loving so deeply. And that love is the only thing in this world that cannot be lost because it's the only thing that is real. It's like K.J. said, "Love is a verb" and the love he shared with his Mom will never be lost. Please accept my deepest sympathy and know that I am here for you. Love, Elaine

Kevin and Bonnie, Elisa just let us know of your tragic loss. K.J. is such a handsome young man in his posted picture. We are sending you warmth, hugs and love, and wishing you and your family a long life.
Sandi and Marc Scholnick

Kevin and Bonnie, Margit and Melanie, please know that you have our deepest sympathy and you all are in our thoughts and prayers in this most difficult time. with love, Maurie & Bob Flanagan, [Johns Island, SC]

Hold on the the memories, and my prayer is that your family will find comfort in knowing that you will see your loved one again, be blessed.

Knowing KJ for 9 years has been the best 9 years of my life. He took me under his wing when i was 15 and i have wonderful memories of him and I in Montclair and Phoenix. KJ truley touched so many lives and is loved by so many people. He has always been a brother to me. I love you kev and miss you...You've always looked out for me and still do..may you always live on in my mind, soul, and heart. RIP ~Bad boyz 4 life~

My condolences to his whole entire family and I will always be...

Kev,

I love and miss you and will continue to carry you with me. We spent much of our friendship laughing at each other for our many differences. In your absence, I am learning to so appreciate those things I laughed at you for. I've known few people so willing to be true to themselves regardless of what others thought. I will miss your updates and your honesty in recounting your successes and missteps. I have decided to support the yankees in your honor, but only for this...

This is so hard for me because K.J is my best friend. A special person that words cant describe and if i had to choose one word it would be amazing.I have so many memories of Kev i will always love him to life. He's more then my best friend but my brother. Amazing time having him here in the physical form. KJ WILL ALWAYS LIVE THROUGH ME. He's with the Lord now and its a hard pill to swollow but family and friends stay strong and positive brighter days are soon.
