Kevin Anthony O'Connell

We miss You Kevin...we hear you in songs and feel you in hugs. I know you and your Dad are watching over your beautiful Mom, Family and Friends. Remember us...

Love & prayers to the O'Connell family. Kevin will always be in my memory!

I remember everything about Kevin...an Amazing young man of only 18 years with us, but mostly, (and selfishly) I remember how he always hugged me when he saw me AND made the announcement to his group of friends always around him..."You want to hug this lady whenever you see her!"
Kevin...how much we love you...❤

We think of you everyday and we miss you very much. You will always be in our heart's. We love you very much Kevin god bless you and your family.

Your shinning light has brightened many lives. We miss you everyday. Love you Kev.

Dear O'Connell Family,
We are members of SB Church and saw Kevin sing and inspire us to worship many times. As we watched him sing we prayed that our two boys would grow-up to be remarkable young men like him, so full of confidence and poise and love of God. We will continue to pray for his eternal rest and your peace.

Dear John and Gina,

I thank you and God for bringing such a loving and beautiful person into this world. My daughter, Lauren and I were blessed to have him in our lives. I always felt safe knowing that Lauren was going out and that Kevin was going with her. He brought so much joy to our lives. The pain we feel has brought our world to a halt. I can't even come close to imagining what it has done to you and your family. I pray for Kevin's loving soul and I pray for you and your family. May God be with you and give you strength during this extremely difficult time in your lives.

To The O'Connell family,

I met Kevin on his first day of school in Everglades High. He was in my P.E. class, and I noticed he was sitting all alone, so I went right up to him and asked him if he'd like to join my friends and I in a game of volleyball... and with big, beautiful, welcoming smile he happily agreed. He quickly assumed the leader position... and ever since then, Kevin became apart of our everyday lives. Andrea, Alexix, Larissa, Estabon, Craig, Gi, and myself will NEVER forget him... volleyball just wasn't the same without him, and now the rest of our lives wont be the same either...
He was a wonderful friend, who gave the most amazing hugs. He left so much love inside all of our hearts... and I'll NEVER forget him...
Your family is in my prayers.

The last time I saw Kevin, he signed my yearbook saying:
"NOORA! What can I say? You were the best part of P.E. You always brighten my day. I'm really glad I met you. I hope you have an amazing future ahead of you. Love you. -Love, Kevin O'Connell"

Gina and John O'Connell Family and Bob and Paula Ulino Family,

To the O'Connell family,

I am so sorry for the loss your your wondeful son, Kevin. I met your son at Victoria Previtera's house. He seemed like a fine young man. My prayers are with Kevin and the entire family.

To the O'Connell Family,

We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Gina, John and family,
Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved son, Kevin. We will always remember him with love. Our hearts are with you.

Kevin will always be with you! We will remember him forever. All our Love, Ralph, Mel, Chris, Mike and Dan Fratianni

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Dear O'Connell Family,
The sudden loss of Kevin brings us all to our knees...first, in thanksgiving, that we KNOW a God that blessed this earth with such a sweet, loving, kind person as Kevin. Second, with a serene joy that somehow this young man who was so gifted, gave us so much in his short life...and third (only a beginning) that we ARE the chosen recipients of an inheritance that will never end~the very inheritance that Kevin sang of in his "person" and will now sing of with a choir of heavenly voices. In the quiet stillness that is always ahead, may our great God bless you with the sound of that choir, the hope of being reunited and the happiness to have loved and been loved!
I will remember you all in prayer, always...

Kevin was at our home a few days ago playing with our new grandson and I recall saying to him that he was only just a baby as well. He laughed! We watched Kevin grow into a happy, always smiling young man. You should be proud to have been his parents and we join you in celebrating your baby's life. He is destined for something greater and know that you are surrounded by people who loved him and will see you through this most difficult time. He will always be in our hearts and we feel lucky to have known him. God Bless.
