Kevin Scott Purnell

I am so shocked and deeply affected hearing of Kevin's passing. My sympathies go out to his family, close friends and wife. Kevin was my first boyfriend in college. I admired, respected and cared greatly for him. I still keep photos, cards, and poems that we shared. One card was titled "A Song without Words" That, was Kevin.

I just learned about Kevin tonight at an Easter Vigil. I feel such an enormous weight of grief and sadness, especially for his extraordiary family and wife. Kevin insprired me and moved me in so many inexpressable ways. I feel so blessed to have been a part of his life, and his family's life, and am so sad that the world is without him now.

Kevin and his music are so missed at Unity Church of Peace. I enjoyed him so much. He will always be with us.

Kevin was a friend, our inspiration and our accompanist. Please join us on Saturday, April 6th at 1 p.m. for a celebration of Kevin's light and life. We'll share, laugh, cry and appreciate the warm and wonderful legacy that Kevin left us. We're at 2934 N. Lincoln Avenue. Kevin, we love, we bless you and we behold the Christ in you!

I knew Kevin since 1987. Yes, 15 years of my life, over half my life. He and I graduated homeschool high school together and we had always planned to meet June 6, 2002...our ten year class reunion, for dinner. I have many great memories of bowling, laughing, being goofy and listening to him play the piano. May the Lord bless his family. You are all close to my heart!

Our deepest sympathies to Kevin's family and friends. We only met Kevin last summer, through our mutual friend Rene. In our brief times together, we came to appreciate Kevin's quiet confidence and gentle character. His great love of music will be a source of inspiration and comfort to us always.

The time I spent with Kevin meant a lot to me. He was a good friend and inspired me to be a better person. He will continue to be an inspiration.

I only knew Kevin a short time, but instantly was touched by his gentleness and his wonderful outlook on life. This loss of Kevin on earth will be felt by all of us, but will make heaven that much sweeter...

My condolences to all on this sad news. I am a friend of a friend, and I have great memories of time spent with him hanging out, golfing, etc. Best wishes to everyone.
