Not sure what to say?

You will truly be missed! Gone but never forgotten.

So surprised and saddened upon learning of your crossing the bar far to early in life.

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

I have endless fond memories of the times we had together both in and out of the shipyard, when we had a chance to escape. He will be sincerely missed.

Kevin bounded into our lives and became an instant friend when he fell head over heals for our dear friend Deedee. He was a great tour guide for Jacksonville and always had a smile and a great story to share about his community. Watching him and Deedee fall in love, get married and share their love of travel, as well as their love for their growing family was an honor. We enjoyed so many fun weekends together at the beach, the lake and in Tampa for Gasparilla. Kevin was always the first...
