Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. We were friends in high school and were in school plays together. My heart goes out to Kevin's family.

Kevin was the most amazing person I have ever met, his talent, humor, and most amazing mind was something I always admired. working in musicals with him was wonderful, we always tried to get a place together in them. and outside of school we had so much fun as well.

Kevin and I were cabin mates when we were kids, at the MDA summer camp. Even at that early age, he already possessed a very charismatic personality. It was not surprising that he would become the MDA poster child for Chicago. We both shared that distinct honor. Kevin will always play a significant role in those fond, childhood memories. My deepest condolences to the entire Kage family.

Beacon that leads
ONWARD!
Shine through the night,
Shine till the morning.
We need one glimpse,
To carry on.

One of my fondest memories is spending an afternoon in the...

Kevin was one of the most talented, funny and kind people I've ever known. He will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to Nathaniel and Mrs. Kage.

I know that there is nothing that I could say that would take the pain away from you in your time of need. Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers.
