You sincerely believed in me when certainly no one else did. How is there enough gratitude for that? My prayers are with your family. Two Irish powerhouses lost in one year. I will do my best to live up to your legacies, bless.

God bless you and your family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To all the O'Donnell family. My deepest sympathies to all of you. We were very sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was a lovely man and I enjoyed being in his company either in Cleveland or when he called in to me for his dinner at Achill Cliff House Hotel. It was a great honour being in Cleveland and being apart of the celebrations when Kevin was Mayo Man of the Year. May his gentle soul rest in peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Kevin was an amazing man who I had the great honor of meeting at a St. Mary-of-the-Woods function that my mother hosted. My most heartfelt sympathy to the O'Donnell family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Megan, Patrick, Liam, Kevin, Dierdre and the entire O'Donnell family,

Please know that we have been keeping all of you close in our thoughts and prayers this past week. We feel very honored to have known Kevin and always enjoyed his company at any O'Donnell/Patton get together. Kevin was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. You knew when you spoke to him that he was someone who truly cherished his family and faith. He will be missed!
God Bless,
Molly,...

Kevin was a blazing comet in the Cleveland firmament. A strong and successful business leader. A wise and vibrant presence in so many nonprofits. A constant friend with a ready smile and always a metaphorical hug. A wonderful advisor. The world is dimmer, now, and we all must live with another unfillable hole in our lives.

One of the greatest men I have ever known. I will miss him very much.
