Kevin will forever be in my heart. He was a truly a kind and gentle man, we shared many laughs together and as we were always told by our manager “your reputation precedes you” I can truly say Kevin was the truest example of this.

Words can not explain the lost of a dear friend. The lord has called you home. To the family of Kevin: Be ye encouraged. John 14:1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."
