We, Jim & Donna, only knew Kevin for a short period of his life during the past 3 years. We had the chance to get to know more about him & Liz during a trip to Iceland this past April. He enjoyed those around him as we enjoyed being around his energy which was magnified when Liz was be his side. May he find his peace and for those of us left behind, may we find ours by remembering alll the good times we had being a part of his adventures. Donna Daniels & Jim Bailey, Houston, TX Jun 26, 2017

When Kevin was in high school, I had the privilege of being his high school counselor and working with him on his college search. As a National Merit finalist, his options were many. I enjoyed his visits to my office--even if just to say "hi." His dynamic and positive energy changed the whole room. Deepest condolences to his family on their loss.

I just learned about this from cousin Dot Dearman. Sadly, I didn't know Kevin as an adult and only saw him when he was little. He was my 3rd cousin. I'm deeply saddened by this sad news and my prayers go out for his family and his parents. I'm so very sorry.

We remember the first time we met Kevin and Liz by his side in the middle of an ocean. So vibrant and infectious, Kevin brought the best out in everyone! Not long after we travelled as often as we could with you both. Even though we were miles apart we always felt like extended family. No one will ever replace Kevin and what he was able to leave as a legacy. He always gave it his very best! We were looking forward to many more years and words can't express the sorrow. Our deepest sympathy to Liz and his family.

I knew Kevin through his contributions to state politics and his service as a state representative in the NH legislature. I always admired his smile, his poise, his intellect -- and his versatility with people and professions. We have lost a bright and loving soul much too early. My deepest condolences to Liz, his family, and all who knew him. In his honor, I will find something to cherish in each day, laugh more, and LOVE.

I'm very sorry for you loss Miss, I know I didn't know you or Kevin for very long. I will say in that short period of time I was inspired by his hospitality and ambition. I'd say the one thing above all others, I learned from Kevin is to not worry what people think. To live life for whatever a person personally wants without fear of judgement. It took me a long time to apply that lesson to my life, but I'll never forget these wise words from the first time meeting at Millys. Seeing his name listed here.... It's sad.... again sorry for your loss.

I met Kevin not long after he first moved up to New Hampshire and I always felt so lucky to have met him. He was such a down to earth, driven, intelligent, and compassionate person. Great sense of humor, and always so much fun to be around no matter the venue. It still feels shocking that he won't be with us anymore. His passing is a tremendous loss for a world that could use more light, but his spirit will live on in those he inspired.

Ten of us spent a long and very hot afternoon and evening decorating a facility that had no air conditioning in the 90 degree weather, no food, and precious little water. Kevin led the group with aplomb and his dashing and unflagging spirit. He did not have the words slow, or rest, or take it easy, in his vocabulary! We worked until we dropped, but the result was a delightful blend of artistry, functionality, and practicality. I'm sure we would have given up without him beating the Battle Drum! An amazing individual and a delight to know.

I had the honor of working with Kevin from 2007-2008 when we both worked for Bill Richardson and his pursuit of The White House. From the second that Kevin arrived at the office to join the staff he was always full of energy, optimism, humor and compassion. He was a member of our NH State Staff and you could ask him to do anything and he would do it with a smile on his face. I just learned of his passing from another colleague from that campaign and am simply shocked. Rest In Peace Kevin. To his wife and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very sad time.

You and liz found soulmates in each other and were partners in enjoying life to its fullest. So many adventures too shared!

Kevin was a wonderful young man with whom I had the privilege of serving with during his term in office in the NH House. He had an infectious laugh, that lit up his face, and brought a smile to all who saw it. I want to extend to his beautiful wife Elizabeth, and to his whole family my most heartfelt condolences. His spirit and loving nature will be his legacy, and I hope all the marvelous memories of him will bring you some comfort in this difficult time and in the future.

Kevin you were such a bright star and amazing individual. We are so lucky that our paths crossed. During the brief time we knew you, we saw you do amazing things and live life to the fullest...and then push the edge out even further. Your time here was to short. I'm sure we'll see you on the other side, wherever that may be. We'll always cherish the memories and in that way you'll live forever in our hearts and when we recall those memories I think they will always bring a smile to our faces. Condolences to Kevin's family, he was a great man and will be missed by all who knew him.

Kevin, you will be in our hearts and minds forever. You were one-of-a-kind; the kind of "old soul" you hear about but never get the chance to meet. We feel so lucky to have had you in our life for just 4 short years of friendship. Knowing it's over is heartbreaking beyond words. You were so vibrant and larger than life that this news is impossible to comprehend. Please know that you are so deeply loved by so many Kevin, missing you is an understatement. We will remember your goofy wit and charm for the rest of our lives!
We are sending lots of love to you Liz and the rest of the family.
