Kevin Ross PUTNEY

I remember loving your Christmas cards of a deeply close and loving family. They represented, for me, the ideal American family and I looked forward to them each year. And hearing my sister Marion, his grandmother's, adoration of this gentle soul, this kind boy whom she loved without boundaries. I was always touched by her sweet affection toward him. His was an open heart that he gave generously to those around him.

Lisa, it seems like only yesterday that we were both pregnant with our sons and now they are both gone. There are no words to describe the pain of losing a child and unfortunately we are both having to experience this. No parent should have to bury their child; it is such a tragedy and a parent's worst nightmare. We are here for you and you are in our prayers. Our hearts go out to you, Alan and David.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Putney,
My son Branden knew Kevin from the dorm. I just needed to let you know of our sadness over the loss of Kevin.
Wendy Sanders

Putney Family,

I would like to express my condolences to you and the rest of your family. I remember Kevin as a youngster from Summer Recreation at Noah Wallace and West District. I have forgotten many names and faces from those days, but I will always remember Kevin as one of my favorite campers. May you find strength and serenity during this time of sadness.

Dear Lisa ,Alan and David,

"Perhaps they are not the stars,
but rather openings in Heaven
when the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down to let us know they are with us"
Please accept our deepest sympathy
Eva and Kris Trebski

No parent should have to endure the loss that you are experiencing. I know that I’ll take a moment and hug my kids a little tighter the next time I see them.
May God bless you and give you strength.

Lisa and Alan, We are so very sorry to hear about Kevin. Hearing this news really hit our family hard and we want you all to know how much you are in our thoughts and prayers. We lift you up in prayer and pray God will give you the comfort needed at this time. With sincere sympathy - Cheryl (Gass)& Mike Tafe

Lisa, Alan & David,
We enjoyed watching both your boys grow; especially seeing their love of golf, and witnessing the closeness of your family. You are a special family and perfect neighbors...Kevin will watch over you know and light your way....Jay & Terry Nowakowski

Lisa, Alan, and David, it seems simply impossible and so very wrong that people with so much love and goodness would have to endure such an unthinkable loss. Kevin's years were far too short, but I think you gave him a lifetime of love, energy, family togetherness, laughter, and caring about him in those 19 years. You are such a wonderful family, and every moment that you nurtured Kevin and helped him develop into the gentle, wonderful person he was was love with a great purpose. My thoughts are with your family in this terrible sorrow.

Dear Lisa, Alan and David, This is a loss no one can prepare for. Everyone who knows you or Kevin feels it. We share your sadness and are holding you close in our hearts. Such love coming your way, Aunt Carole & Karl

Dear Lisa, Alan and David,
My heart sank when I heard the tragic news of Kevin's untimely death.
I had not seen Kevin in a very long time, but I will always remember his adorable face and sweet personality from First Church. We are so deeply saddened and want you to know that you will be in our hearts and prayers. With our heartfelt sympathy, Kristin Koos and Family (Ken, Alex & Ericka)

Dearest Lisa, Alan, and David,
We were at a loss when we learned of Kevin's passing last week. Our prayers are offered for him and for you. I will always remember the little boy who sat at my feet during that very hot soccer game and peacefully played with his trucks.
Godspeed
Sally, Frank, Kyle, Trevor, and Ryan Chaves

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Putney family at this time.

As the parents of a sophomore at Vanderbilt whose son is also a Math and CS major, we were shocked and grief stricken when Andrew called us with the news.

He had spoken to Kevin numerous times before a class they took together this semester and spoke with him as recently as the day before Kevin's passing.

My son, like everyone else has said was how great of a kid Kevin was.

Our deepest sympathies at this trying time.

Lisa & Alan,
So saddened at the tragic news about Kevin. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. There are no words that can express what we are feeling right now. Kevin was such an amazing young man and lived his life to the fullest. We are grief stricken for your family and we pray that God will bring you peace.

Alan and family, my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Alan, Lisa, David,

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Kevin. We remember him as a very respectful, nice, well mannered and smart young man. We wish you well during this tough time.

The Simeones

Alan & family - so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. You are in my thoughts & prayers.

I cannot imagine my high school years without Kevin. We had so many incredible times together on mission trips and during PF. He is by far one of the most genuine, kind, and loving people I have ever known. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our hearts are broken and words cannot express our sadness over the loss of your precious son. You are all in our prayers. Our deepest sympathies.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with your family. Cherish your loving memories of Kevin and know that he is your guardian angel watching over you.
