My wife and I were very sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. I (Loren) first met and became friends with Kevin when he joined the fire department. He was a great guy to be around and he always had a positive and upbeat attitude. I was always happy to see him when he would stop by the station to visit after he was no longer with the fire department. I'm sorry that we won't be able to attend the memorial service as currently we are out of town. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family for...
