My deepest sympathy to the Bevis family on the loss of a wonderful son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin and friend. May God keep this family in his hands and help them as they adjust to life without his physical presence. Please assure them that he is seated with The Lord and he will be their guardian angel.

Oh God, Kevin, it wasn't supposed to end this way. It seems such a short time ago we were driving to Austin and skirting trouble.

While working at Princetons, I came to know a lovely boy named Kevin. He introduced me to Rage Against the Machine. Whenever I hear one of their songs, I always think of him and his gruffy voice. I know that voice will be missed by all those who love him.
