Petra, Allysa and Caitlyn, thank you for sharing your partner/dad with us all, so many evenings in dark rooms, playing his heart out. He was truly a "good man", a "hero" to many of us. He quietly helped me believe in the inner strengths of my bruised self again over the last while, and I will always "owe" and adore him for that. Please KNOW that he made that extra effort that this world so desperately needs these days. We need more Kevin's... not less. Big huggz, ladies.

Sending heartfelt prayers and love to Kevin's family and extended community of musicians and friends who will all miss him greatly.

When I first met Kevin and heard him play guitar, I was in awe. Not only was he Master of this instrument; he was humble, balanced and honest in how he played. Since then, every time I encountered him he mad me smile. There was an air of calm about him. He was so in love with his family, so in the moment. I looked forward to the next time we would meet, and I still do. Shine on.

Sincerest sympathies to Petra and family....although it was always just visits in the parking lot, he had a great sense of humour and enjoyed sharing "advice" with Joe about music. Such a shock...gone too soon...Our thoughts are with you.

It was an honour to know you, Kevin. As well as making every other musician in this city envious with your talent, you showed us all what it means to be kind, generous and fun to be around. You were a bright light, and you'll be badly missed.
