Kevin Ray Chojczak

I try to remember you on your birthday, which was 3 days after mine, rather than this bad day. You were everything positive with the world and you could talk/relate to just about anyone. I Just donated in your name to Democracy Now! Miss you buddy!

I’ll always remember your big genuine smile, the way you played air drums to any Van Halen song that came on. For a long time I really thought you were a drummer. Although you may be gone, you are not forgotten ole friend.

i miss our dialogue about society and u should still be here but in my mind i am with u kevin and miss ur view of life your bro john

Diana, Danusia and family,
I was deeply saddened to learn today of Kevin's passing. We hadn't spoken in 20 years as we had amicably ended our young love affair and I am happily married and busy raising two girls. But, I was always hoping he was happy and wondered what he was doing. I remember his love for music, art and his old VW bug that we picked up together near Grass Valley. I loved his warm smile. I want you to know that I cherish the fun memories that we had together and I...

I don't think any amount of time is going to fill the space in my heart since you left. I think about you and the good times we shared nearly every day, and I miss you dearly. Even though you are gone, I will try my best to carry on your positive energy, influence, and legacy in every way I can. I love you bro.

Diana and Danusia and family: What a treasure our family had in Kevin. I am so proud of his courage to live his convictions and to hear of how hard he worked and fought for others. I don't think anyone else in our family has had such an impact on so many lives the way Kevin did. His life was way too short, in our opinion, but it appears that in the short time he was here he touched so many lives, and left an influence on so many, that he will live on though he may not be physically here. I...

Growing up down the street from kevin`s family we ran around playing ditch with the other kids. Playing legos, starwars. He painted a few of my hotwheel cars for me. He always had a smile on his face. He was the kid that you knew would grow up to do big things. I will always have those memories. Kevin you will be missed. Peace

To Kevin's family please accept my heartfelt condolences. Kevin and I became friends when I lived in San Francisco. After I moved to Wisconsin, then Oregon, we stayed in touch by email and would meet at national conferences once a year. This past year we were in contact more, by telephone and personal visits. Kevin visited me in Portland last March on his way to visit family members in Washington. We met again in Oakland and San Francisco in July.It never ceased to amaze me how Kevin could...

Kevin,
I only knew you a little bit, and yet I really liked you. I liked your humble, friendly and tenacious personality. I got to know you through my participation at my school's Union Building Committee. You also came to visit me a few times in my classroom, always respectful, always with invitations to attend events and participate in social justice causes. We attended last March's rally together, and it was fun hanging out with you there. It was a privilege to have known you.
