So much time has passed since I first met Kevin at Warped Tour in 2005. We met through mutual friends and our friendship flourished as fast as our love for punk rock. I still remember what he was wearing, typical Kevin skinny jeans, black with a black and white striped shirt. I remember thinking who is this Billie Joe Armstong looking guy?! Our friendship grew into long phone calls back and forth trips from Sanger to Fresno and blossomed into awesome musical fusion! So much fun times I had playing music and going to shows with Kevin! I loved singing next to him, both of us playing our guitars, he was always living in the moment and brought joy to every practice. He always had jokes and loved to kid around and make bets; one time I lost 5 bucks to him at our first band practice because he said he could open his moms trunk magically...it opened without a hand and he took out his guitar and took my 5 bucks. :) I most remember how sweet and old fashioned he was; I recall leaving a festivity at the Knights of Colombus Hall, And getting stuck with Kevin and a broken power steering fluid line, we ended up at Denny's with his Mom, the entire night he opened our doors and showed me a side few punk rockers have. We had such a great time sitting and talking and me getting jealous of his super cool Mom getting him to meet The Adicts. Kevin always made everything fun, even of it didn't always go according to plan.  The best part of Kevin is that he was genuinely one of the most sweetest, thoughtful people who God has ever created. I will forever cherish all the adventures we had together. To his parents thank you for this gift, you raised an amazing person who is very much loved. He helped me through a lot and put countless smiles on my face, it was a blessing to have him a a friend.

My dear son, You will be forever loved and missed by all of your family and friends. I cannot begin to express in words how much I miss you and will continue to miss you as the years come and go. You brought great delight into my life and soul. You are the reason I am a teacher today. I have walked every step of your way with you and your life and friends have enriched my life more than you can possibly know. I was honored to be your mother. I know people can love you equally, but no one will ever love you more than I do. My heart and soul grieves for you. My tears weep for you. Thank you for sharing my life. We had a unique and wonderful journey together. You are a very unique person. I am just sad that your journey ended so soon. Now all we have are pictures and memories. You will continue to live on through those. May you rest in peace in God's arms where I put you the day you were born. He will comfort us as only he can do. You were just borrowed, you always belonged to God and I knew that. I wrote this poem to you after you passed away:
I borrowed you for the moment
The moment turned to days
the days then turned to years
And the years just slipped away.
I borrowed you for a season
We had no guarentees
We weathered every storm
And embraced every breeze.
I borrowed you for the decades
I knew our love would last
I forgot that you were borrowed
In a blur the decades passed.
We thought we had tomorrow
Just like we had yesterday
We thought we had forever
But forever was today.
I borrowed you for eternity
For eternity has no time
So I will keep you for eternity
Wrapped around this heart of mine.
The end.
This is how I feel honey. You were my borrowed angel and the years just slipped away way too fast. They were gone in a blur. Watch over us all until we can join you again. I love you, Mom
