My sympathy to you Kevin's family, Trisa, the Tracy clan.
Kevin the best, as are the Tracy's, generous, creating a wonderful difference, happy people. In living with Kevin's mom, Helen, there were those times our internet service was down and we'd call Kevin. Kevin was wired smart and would say walk to the basement, unplug the blue cord or whatever, and all will be fine. All was always fine. Really, Kevin, and the Tracy's can fix and bring all to life.
Kevin was the life of the party at his mom's 80th birthday. Kevin celebrated life and included all in the Circle of Life. Rest in peace, Kevin.

Kevin meant so much to so many. He was a thoughtful, kind and compassionate man and made each person in his life feel special and loved. Kevin and his wife Trisa were an adventurous couple who enjoyed everyday of their life together and welcomed people into their life and their home. I will miss Kevin with all my heart. Rest in peace my friend.
