My deepest condolences on Kevin's death. I had him at my house a few times when he and my daughter attended NYU, and when she called from school if he was around he always made sure to say hello. I remember his favorite part of my daughter's goody boxes was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch I always sent just for him. Kevin was a sweet, kind, loving person and will clearly by missed by all whose lives he touched.

Kevin was the best friend a person could be.
We are grateful he was there with Molly at Calhoun and shared such strong bonds with Michael.
Jen, you are stuck with us forever.

Shocked and filled with a sense of profound sadness at the loss of Kevin. I knew him since his days at Calhoun, although a few years older Calhoun was such a close community and everyone was a part of this extended family. I had the good fortune to reconnect with him a couple years ago, to meet his dog Diamond and his then girlfriend Jen. He was a tremendous soul who was full life. A genuinely great human being with such character. Sending love to his wife, his family and all his friends who must surely be feeling his loss. Rest well Kevin.

One of the warmest, kindest, and funniest guys I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Kevin is one of the few people who managed to make me laugh until tears smudged down my face and I was short of breath. Sending every drop of my love to the family and to beautiful Jen.

Kevin, keep 'em giggling where you are now - raising a glass for you, bro.

Lots of love, SJP
