What up lil bro. It's been 8 long years without you bro. I miss you popping up at my house and playing madden, call of duty, and 2k all night, like we didn't have to work in the morning. I always think of you and what would you be doing, and how many kids would you have by now. A lot has changed over the years. Relationships and people have faded away, but my love for you will never fade away. Your my brother from another forever. Rest in paradise King!

Hey Kev! It's hard to believe that you are gone! I never thought I would fly up here for this but rather our class reunion or something! I miss you my dude and want you to know you will always have a place in my heart! You were always kind, cool and fly! When others stopped talking to me you remained cool peoples and never let others influence how you felt or acted and I love you for that! I'm sorry that I cried the way I did when I saw you in your casket but it just hurt to see such a nice person in there! I'm praying that your family be blessed in this hard times and you watch over them along with ya dude Shakim n ya God Son! Don't forget about Chenelle she loved you so much as her big brother! While you up there please tell my Abuela, Grandma and Granddaddy I said I love them and miss them and Tyasia too! You were taken way too soon Kev but you will NEVER be forgotten! Always love until we meet again!
