Kevin, I was shocked to hear of your passing. I can't believe you are gone. You were loved by so many. Your dry sense of humor touched, not to mention confused many. Your heart was huge, evidenced by those you reached out to. I know that you are now surrounded by all of those people along with your many friends that were taken so soon. You will be missed and thought of always. Say hello to all those on the other side and give Sebastian a special hug. He will be happy to have his daddy home. Kevin, I love you and am sorry I won't get to laugh at your dry jokes anymore or have anymore pointless conversations. Your sense of humor made many laugh and others confused, but that is one more thing that made you so special. God Bless you! XO T

I was struck by Kevin's mild manner and warm heart. It's a shame sometimes it takes a loss to appreciate the gifts a person offers. I wish I had taken the time to know Kevin better, and I take his death as a calling to cherish and make time for compassionate, kind friends. I will miss Kevin's humor, warmth and manner.

Kevin, Thank you for being such a special part of my life. Our unique and wonderful relationship was filled with experiences that I will cherish forever. Meer words will never do justice to the impact of your passing. You made a difference not only in my life, but in the lives of your family, freinds, faculty, fellow students and to the patients you served as a nurse. May you dwell happily in the divine Light of God forever.

You were always relaxed, helpful, & generous without ceremony. You let me live with you when I moved, you stocked my kitchen when I found my own place, & you included me in your community. Thanks, Kevin. I hope you knew I appreciated you.

We were so happy and pleased to have you and Evy stay with us for 2.5 days during your last trip home. We enjoyed the visit, dinners, conversations and reminiscing of olden days. We cherish and treasure those memories. May Evy find solace in the days to come and may you rest in peace. Both of you will always be well loved.

Thank you Kevin for being my teacher, mentor, and friend. You were the most compassionate and wonderful soul. I watched you so many days deliver care with love even when those you were caring for met you with anger, fear, and grief. I will truly miss you. I am so thankful that I had the pleasure of knowing you. Keep watching out for us, we love you.

I shall always remember Kevin's sweet, sensitive side. It was a quality that made him most endearing to me and I am sure countless others over his lifetime.

I love you, Tia, and I will always miss you. I enjoyed it every time you babysat - and the way that you played with me, took me on walks, bathed me and ensured that Mommy could take time away. I even learned to enjoy the chicken!
