Aloha, I can still hear Kevin and Jen calling us on our shared anniversary Date. We met in Hawaii,and they were such an added blessing. I never would have imagined we would both end up being widow's in our early 50's . But God needed them . Kevin was such a kind, funny guy. He always made us laugh. I will always remember the way he loved, Jen and the kid's, he was so proud of his family, One of the things he expressed in his Christmas letters yearly. You're missed And loved Kevin, I'm thankful for meeting you and Jen in top of that volcano, and watching the sunrise with you both, while singing sunrise, sunset. Tell Dale we love and miss him as well.

I am so sorry for your loss. My best memory of Kevin was in kindergarten. He knew I was very shy and he came up to me and said let's play cars. So sweet. As long as he is in our hearts he is never truly gone.

I met Kevin when he started at Navistar. You couldn't have asked for a nicer, kinder person. My thoughts and prayers are with his family....

I didn't work directly with Kevin, but we were both at Navistar and for a time our cubicles were next to each other. I saw that Kevin was very open about his faith, having some things on his wall that made it clear that he was a Catholic Deacon. He was an inspiration to me the way he lived. I learned that you can be a powerful witness to Christ without having to thump the Bible. Just making yourself open to other people coming up and asking you questions.

It is with great sadness in my heart that I extended my deepest sympathy to the Reynolds Family.

I know that you are surrounded by enormous love from your family and friends. Therefore, I encourage you to take encouragement in prayer and take comfort in knowing that God is there for you and cares for you. 1 PET 5:7

Sincerely, DEE

Kevin was a good man who touched and inspired the lives of many more people than he probably realized. He had a wonderful gift and a flair for sharing the light of the Lord with those who needed it. We are all richer for having known him. Peace, blessings and love to the family.
