Kevin James Brock

To the Brock Family: I have so many memories of Kevin from growing up in Roanoke, and they all make me smile. He was such a talented individual, and a light-hearted spirit. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

To Kevin's Family:
Your son and brother was an amazing person: honest, loving and courageous. He is going to be missed so much! One less star shines in the sky now - I will never forget Kevin.

that kevin is gone is difficult to believe and accept; my heart goes out to casey and to the family of one of the cheekiest, funniest, most sincere and talented guys going. kevin was such a presence that words can't really wrap themselves around the idea of his loss...

To Kevin's friends and family, I was friends with Kevin in high school many years ago. I just learned of his passing and was truly saddened by the news. My heart and prayers go out to you at this time. Kevin was a true sweetheart. He will be missed.

Dear Claudia and Jim,
I just learned today of your tragic loss. My heart aches for your family. May God comfort you during these sad times and give you strength to cope.
With my deepest sympathy,
Tammie Yarter

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Brock:

I was not able to tell you how much Kevin meant to me at the service Sunday. However, I made a video honoring Kevin and it can be seen at http://vimeo.com/2203941. I hope you like it.

I am shocked and saddened by this news of Kevin's passing. My heart goes out to the whole community in coming to terms with this, especially Casey, family, and friends. Kevin was and is an inspiration to me and will remain in my memory.

Jim & Claudia
Your family has been special to me for many years. I cannot find words to express my sorrow for your family's loss. The few times I met Kevin he struck me with his love of music and people. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Brock family,
I only met Kevin once, but over the years, I was one of the many in his audiences who so enjoyed his talent on percussion and his exuberance for life that showed in his face. Kevin filled the space around him with joy. You have my deepest sympathy.

A sweeter, kinder man you will not find. Kevin and Casey were dear friends of mine 5 years ago when i lived in NC. Kevin had such an honest and caring approach to life. Deepest sympathies.

Jimmy and Claudia,
Linda and I were saddened when we heard of your son Kevin's passing. No parent should have to suffer a child's death. Although we never met Kevin, it is obvious from other guestbook entries that he was an exceptional son. Know that you are in our prayers that God will hold you in his hand and comfort you in this trying time. God bless you and your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. You have our deepest sympathy.

Dear Brock Family:

Kevin was our 13-year-old son's drums teacher last year. He had a way of working with young people that inspired them, never talking down to them. He was always very professional -- time very well spent for our son. We are very sorry for your loss. (From the Family of Liam Dalton)

Jim & Claudia,

Sometimes we don't understand why God lets things happen in our lives but we trust that He is always in control. We never know what plans He has for us. I know you and your family must be devastated. Please know that we are praying for strength for you and your family

Dear Brock Family,
Kevin was our children's music teacher. He was so patient and inspiring with them. He was a great friend and we were sad when he and Casey moved out of Pittsboro. I am so sorry. We have all lost an amazing spirit....Our thoughts are with you and Casey.

Jim and Claudia: I am so sorry to hear of your son Kevin's passing. I hadn't seen him since my days at Rusco when he was just a little guy. Since retiring I now live in Texas on the beach and keep in touch with Roanoke by the internet. My thoughts are with you now and your family. I hope you find some small consolation in the fact that Kevin was so well loved.

It has been many years since I've seen or spoken to Kevin, but I certainly remember his friendly nature, his passion for music, and that fantastic smile.
see you on the other side Kevin,
Patrick Trout

Dear Casey,
When today is too much to bear, slip back to yesterday and embrace the love, the closeness, the happiness you and Kevin shared. These things will be with you forever.
We are so sorry for your loss.

With Deepest Heartfelt Synpathy,
Doug and JoAnn Patterson
(Donna's Mom and Dad)

Jim, My deepest sympathies. Our children are our greatest accomplishment, and my heart goes out to you and your family during this time. Your son Kevin is with God now and continuing his joy of music. My heartfelt prayers.

Jimmy & Claudia,

Bill and I are so sorry to hear this news, I cannot imagine the pain and loss you both and your families are going through. Our hearts and prayers are with all of you. Please hold on tight to each other and know all of your PHS friends are here for you if you needs us.

Much love,
Elsie and Bill Fern

To the Brock family,
My deepest sympathies go out to you for your loss. Kevin and I were friends in middle and high school and I have lots of wonderful memories of him and hope your memories will help you get through this difficult time.

To the Brock Family,
I was shocked to hear the news about Kevin. I hadn't any contact with him for years but he's always included when I think about my middle and high school years. He was always there to crack me up! I'm truly sorry I won't get to see him again and am so sorry for your loss.
Very sincerely, Hollie

Brock Family,

I cannot say how shocked I was to hear this news. We were good childhood friends and I always looked up to him. I remember comparing snow-sledding injuries when we were kids. As we got older we grew apart somewhat but seeing each other socially was always a treat. I have never known a more naturally talented person in my life and have been inspired by our early friendship to this day. The heart of the entire music world skipped a beat with his passing. The smiles and laughter his incomparable whit inspired will always remain in my memories. My thoughts and prayers will be with the Brock family for some time to come.

Sincerely,

Claudia, Jimmy and Family; Tom and I have and will hold you in our hearts and prayers. It is our hope that God will be especially close to you now and that you will gain strength and encouragement from His presence.

Jimmy, I don't know if you remember me. I am sorry to hear about the death of your son. My prayers are extended to you and your family during this time of grief.

I am grateful for having met Kevin and seen him perform. You could tell that he got as much joy from the talents he shared as those of us in the audience. It is a tremendous loss to those who didn't get that opportunity and an even greater loss to those who did. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Sincerely, Crystal Fisher

Claudia and Jimmy,

My heart aches for you...David and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Brock family-

I am so sorry for your loss. Kevin and I were friends in high school. Even though we lost touch over the years, I will always remember his fun loving spirit and gentle nature. Please let his memories comfort you during this difficult time. Godspeed!

Dear Brock Family,

My prayers are for you during this difficult time. Kevin and I were friends at Hidden Valley and Cave Spring. Although I had not been in touch with Kevin in many years, all of my memories of him make me smile. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to call him a friend.

Sincerely,

Dear Claudia and Jim,

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Kevin's death. I will hold you both in my heart as you go through this time of grief. God bless you all.

Jimmy and Claudia:

David and I want to extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of your son. I cannot imagine the loss you must feel. Just know that many of your old friends from PHS have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless and heal your hearts during this time. Bonnie and David Spangler

I know Kevin's brother and was saddened to hear of your family's loss. Kevin and your family are in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Jimmy,

My sincere sympathy to you and your entire family.

Kevin was an inspiration and hero to me. I always felt better after spending time with him. He will be missed greatly. God bless you all.

Dear Brock Family,
I can't tell you how incredibly sorry I am for your loss. I didn't know Kevin extremely well, but it was always a pleasure when I saw him or played music with him. It's rare to find someone who is both such a wonderful person and such an exceptional musician. I met him through both the teaching studio and mutual friends and was amazed at how his smile and warm personality could light up an entire room of people. It is a great loss to everyone down here in Chapel Hill and Carrboro as well and please know that he will be dearly, dearly missed.

Jimmy & Claudia,

On behalf of Bobby and myself, we send our deepest sympathy and love. God Bless You.

Loretta Davis Compton & Bobby Compton

Dear Brock Family,
My memory of Kevin will always be that of a little boy with beautiful, sparkling blue eyes! From everything I have heard about and read about him, that sparkle continued throughout his life. I am holding you all in my thoughts and prayers. With much love, Beth Denson Blair

Love,

Dear Brock family,
I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow you are experiencing now. Kevin's joy of living was abundantly clear to all who met him. I have been struggling to find words to describe him to my friends who hadn't had the pleasure of being around him. The phrase that keeps coming is "one of the sweetest people I'll ever know."

We were neighbors in Chapel Hill during the heyday of hipbone, and I well remember the night someone asked me at a club: "Are you the drummer's mother?" I took it as a compliment.

Peace unto you, and the love and strength of God.
Linda Woodard

Claudia, Jim, Greg, John and family,

Our prayer is that God will hold you in the palm of his hand and shower you with his love at this sad time.

Kevin was a great friend to us. He will be remembered and missed. May God bless the Brock family during this time of tragic loss.
