Kevin Mesplou Obituary
The Angels came for our beloved son much sooner than we had planned. Kevin Anthony Mesplou passed away on March 14, 2016. He was born on February 28, 1989 to Vincent and Vicky Mesplou and grew up in Harbor City, California.
He was an extremely bright young man. He attended St. Margaret Mary (Elementary) School in Lomita where he graduated in 2003 as a Valedictorian. He also attended St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California where he was a member of the National Honor Society, voted Associated Student Body Treasurer and participated in football, wrestling, swimming and waterpolo. He graduated with honors in 2007. He went on to attend U.C. Santa Barbara where he continued to excel and received several scholastic awards. He graduated in 2012 where he earned a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering. He was employed by IES Engineering in Bakersfield as an Engineering Project Manager.
Kevin continued to enjoy sports post-college and loved outdoor activities. During Kevin's short 27 years, he had the opportunity to travel to many locations in the United States as well as Mexico, Europe and China. He absolutely loved the element of surprise. He loved to make everyone laugh. He made friends easily everywhere he went.
Kevin is survived by his parents, brother, Steven, and many aunts, uncles, first, second and third cousins. A Vigil will be held on Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 7:30 p.m.
The Funeral will be held on Friday, April 1, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. with a reception immediately following.
Both Services will be held at St. Margaret Mary Alacoque Catholic Church located at 25511 Eshelman Avenue, Lomita, California. Please sign the guest book at www.dailybreeze.com/obits.

It's hard to believe it's been eight years since you were called to heaven. I still miss you so much and think of you often. You were such a bright star in the lives of our family. You were incredibly smart, funny and adventurous and world was a much better place with you in it.
I love you and miss you

It's still painful to me to realize you are gone. I still miss your funny laugh and laughing at your silly comments or jokes. I miss you so much and I regret that I didn't have the chance to tell you how much you meant to me when you were still here.
Your Mom, Grandma, Aunt Sandee, and Kenny are with you in heaven and family gatherings are still not the same.
Rest in Peace
Love you
Kelly
I still think about you often wondering what you would be doing now. You were always determined as well as successful.
Love you and miss you
Rest In Peace

It's 2022 and I still can't believe you are gone. I miss you so much and I'm so grateful that I have wonderful memories of you that I will always treasure.
When you were little, you were so smart and so very funny. i remember the time you around two or three years old and you were throwing this stuffed animal around the living room. The stuffed animal was Flounder, the character from the Little Mermaid. I remember sitting at the table with your Mom and hearing something crashing in the living room. Your Mom yelled "Kevin Anthony!!!" and you responded by saying: "It wasn't me, Flounder did it." I don't think you know this, but I couldn't help but smile and I was unable to contain my laughter.
I really miss you Kevin and I miss your Mom who is now with you. You were like a little brother and your mom was the older sister I never had.
Love you

Hi Kevin,
I still cant believe your gone. It still doesnt seem real to me. I miss your laugh, your smile, your lightening quick wit and your vibrant personality. You always lit up the room with your silly sense of humor. I believe you are in heaven making everyone laugh and it is my hope that God had a purpose for taking you so soon.
I have so many fond memories of you and that, I am so grateful for. Reading to you, taking you to McDonalds for your cheeseburger and chocolate shake or just hanging out swimming. I still smile when I remember the Christmas when you were two years old and you were trying to eat the peanut butter cups with the wrapper still on. The houseboat trip to Lake Havasu was one of the best vacations ever. We all had so much fun jet skiing, waterskiing and playing games.
I miss you so much.
Love Kelly

Dear Kevin,
It's been almost a year and I still can't believe you are gone. I cried like a baby on your birthday because you should still be here and I miss you so much. You were living in Bakersfield so I didn't see you as much and I wish I could go back in time and tell you how much you meant to me. I love you dearly and I miss your laughter, your silly stories and pranks. Your smile and personality always lit up a room and the world was a much brighter and fun place with you in it.
I had a dream about you and in the dream I heard your laugh. When I woke up, I cried because the dream was so vivid. The realization that I would only hear your laugh in my dreams was heartbreaking.
I miss you bud and I love you. I wish I could have told you before the angels took you.

I am still in disbelief and shock over Kevin's untimely passing.
The world was a much better place with Kevin in it.

Dear Kevin,
It seemed like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms a few days after you were born. How the time went by. Before I knew it, you were a rambunctious and mischievous child who always made me laugh. Even as a young child you were so smart-you always had an answer for everything. I will miss your sense of humor, your kind heart and your infectious laugh. You grew into a fine, outstanding young man who accomplished so much in such a short time.
You were like a little brother to me and I loved you very much and I was so proud of your accomplishments and I will miss you.
I do take comfort in all of the cherished memories that I have through the years. The vacation at Lake Havasue as well as all of the New Year's Eve and family gatherings.
The only way I can make any sense of this is that God needed more angels in heaven.
Love you lots! "Kelly Belly"

Many of my memories of Kevin are of the classroom, as many who know him well know that he is a bright man. We were placed in a lot of the same classes by chance in the beginning, but as we progressed throughout our tenure at St. John Bosco we became more acquainted being placed in the same advanced classes. He had a sharp with to him and was always prepared with a joke of some sort, aiming to make those around him laugh. I considered him a worthy academic rival, but he was much more than that. He was a good person and a friend to all who knew him. My prayers go to Kevin and the Mesplou family. I know that he will be missed here on this earth, but from how I remember him in life with how beloved he was by everyone on campus he will be one of our greatest guardian angels.

I am very saddened to hear about Kevin. My name is Andrew Galvan and I played football and wrestled with Kevin. Being in the same class as Kevin I will always remember how happy and energetic he was. Always bringing a smile and a laugh to all of us around him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My son Michael Martinez and Kevin were team mates at St John Bosco. He was always happy and loved to have a good laugh, so I'm sure he's having a good time up in heaven. God bless the Mesplou family and know we will always think fond memories of Kevin. Gilbert
