Not sure what to say?

Bruce and I were so very saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. We remember him as a darling little boy playing with Ryan in Mabury Ranch. How very strange they would both die so young. Karen, we hope you find comfort in your precious grandson, Myles. Our hearts are with you all this first Christmas without him. Much love, Pam Ferguson

Kevin, you will be missed. My days at Leeway were memorable and you were one of the people that made them that way. I will miss your sense of humor and your perspectives. You always made me smile.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Nina and the family.

Kevin was my camp counselor at bayshore. He would always wear a cowboy hat on field trips to identify him if we got lost.

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin at the Alpert Jewish Community Center in Long Beach a few years ago. He was incredibly full of life, and wonderful with the children he worked with, teaching them how to swim and to overcome their fear of the water. He was a wonderful guy, and will be deeply missed. My deepest condolences to the family.

I haven't seen you since HS Kevin, but I'll never forget growing up down the street from you in Mabury Ranch. My Mom reminded me that we even went to kindergarten together. She also remembers how devoted your Mom was to you, that you were the love of her life. I remember asking Mrs Voss our fourth grade teacher, to seat me next to you, and she did, bless her; I got to sit next to every girls crush for half the year:-) I have many great memories about you, from those beautiful and innocent...

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family...
