Kevin
We miss you so much. I know that my dad thinks about you and wishes that you were still here everyday. You are his very best friend in the world and his "brother man". Thankyou so much for always being there for him in good times and bad. You are the best! You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We Love You!

Kevin, my husband...

What we shared was incredible, not enough time.
We laughed, we cried, we loved, we lived!

We planned a lifetime together, we had many rides ahead of us. So while you are in heaven packing down your Marlboro, opening up a Miller Lite and riding the bike of your dreams, just remember sweetie, we will ride again! I have faith in that.

Kevin, you are my angel and I know you will always take care of me and "The Rox" just like you said you would.

It is what it is, you taught me that and I love you for it. I miss you babe.

God knew that everyone needs companionship and cheer...
He knew that people need someone whose thoughts are always near...
He knew they need someone kind to lend a helping hand...
Someone to gladly take the time to care and understand...
God knew that we all need someone to share each happy day...
To be the source of courage when troubles come our way,
Someone to be true to us,
Whether near or far apart,
Someone whose love we'll always hold
and treasure in our hearts.

That is why God gave me you,
I'll love you always and you will be forever in my heart.

Love,
Your wife,
Donna

Kevin,
I always thought of you, not only as my brother-in-law, but also as the brother I never had. These past thirty-five years flew. We were always there for each other no matter what. We shared some good times, and some bad time. We shared many happy time, and, too many sad times together. This is the first time I wish you were here with me now. I know you loved to live, laugh, and be around all your friends. I know you enjoyed life more than anybody else I know. I am so glad you did. You had a way like no other. You looked after us and I know you loved us very much. We hope you knew how much we loved you. You are missed more than you would ever know. I hold on to all the memories we made, the laughs we had, and the cold ones we consumed. I pray you are happy. I think of you everyday. I loved the way you made the world smile!
I love you,

Good times we shared
Over all the laughs we had
Doo-whop we sang together

Family gatherings and holidays we spent
All the love you showered me with
Times we acted up and were the DEACONS
Having you for my #1 Godfather
Erin the name you told my parents to pick
Remembering you as my "BIG BOY!"

I wanted to write something special for you. You were and always will be special to me. I know you would have liked this GOD FATHER poem because I wrote it!!!
I will always love you,
your #1 God-daughter

Jim. Debbie & Erin,

It has been over 30 years since you moved here and during that time we have become like 'FAMILY'. not just neighbors. Shortly thereafter . low and behold another family of DEACONS arrived. Mr. & Mrs. Deacon and Kevin who now occupied MONTOUR ST. What a great thing.

I remember the house warming party on Montour St. It was a blast. But the most memorable thing I remember with 'KEVIN' was when the older girls on FAUNCE ST.went down to the post on 'NEW YEARS EVE' in the afternoon and put a Blow Up Doll on his windshield and he had no idea that we did it along with his 'GODDAUGHTER, ERIN AND HER BEST FRIEND KRISTI! When he found out he was floored. What a great guy you are Kevin and keep up the good work for all of your family. You may be looking down on them but you still have a heart of gold.

To the Deacon family,
Wishing you comfort at this time. Kevin was such a great guy, always happy. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering although you are never prepared and the physical loss is never an easy one. Know that he will always be with you and I am sure you also have so many good memories to cherish. Condolences.

May 13, 2009

Deac,
Spring and summer will never sound the same without you and your bike. I have so many Great, funny and happy memories of you and I will cherish them always. You were one of a kind man! I wish your family and friends comfort in this time of sadness. Love Eileen(Morrissey) Harton

On behalf of my family from the Red Rooster, we send our deepest sympathies and regrets to all of you. We all loved "Deac" very much, and will miss him more. We will keep you in our prayers.
