I knew Kevin. Kevin was one of my best friends, he was my husband's brother. Though not blood related, mind as well have been. The three of us did everything together, everyday. Even date nights my husband and I had, Kevin was right there tagging along. I loved him just as much as I love my husband, I basically married him too, hahaha. Kevin had an infectious laugh and smile that you couldn't just help but smile and laugh also, he lit up a room, any room he walked in. He was a great man, stubborn and ridiculous at times but still a great man. And it's been almost 2 years since he's been gone and it's still hard to change the words from know to knew, or is to was. Some days it doesn't register that he's gone. Other days, its all I think about. But one thing is for sure, there isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about him or go and visit him. We love you so much, Kev. And miss you even more everyday.

I didn't know Kevin but his picture here caught my eye. Nice looking young man with such a wonderful smile.

May the God of all comfort be with the entire family. He can give us comfort regardless of how distressing our situation may be. His Word assures us: "He is near to all those calling upon him, ... and their cry for help he will hear." (Ps. 145:18, 19)

Phil and Denise,

I am so very sorry to hear about Kevin passing. He was such a funny kid and that's what I will always remember him as...so spunky and full of energy. I will pray for you all.
