I work in the same industry as Kevin's wonderful wife, Mary. I didn't know Kevin too well, but I knew he had a load of great people in his life. My heart is heavy for the entire family. It is a monumental loss to see such a handsome, young, loving and devoted man pass away. I hope I can give some sort of comfort to the family. With deepest sympathy,

I was lucky enough to have Kevin as a family member, but Kevin treated everyone like his family.
Lots of great memories with Kevin at BF riding dirt bikes.
A great guy who loved life and loved his family. He will be missed.
