I had the pleasure of knowing Kevin as my professor at USF and as a candidate for supervisor. He was always so generous with his time and encouragement; he inspired us to dream big. He was a true scholar, memorizing storyteller and wonderful mentor. He will be missed, but he leaves behind an amazing legacy of work and many who truly adored him as a warm and gentle man. My condolences to his family and friends.
