So sorry about Kevyn passing.
Meet him at my place of work
While he was out for fuel for
The fallen. Great experience
For myself that I had seen
Him in every movie and
Commented about his crazy
Laugh in death wish.
He told me the story about
The laugh.
My condolences.
I will always remember what
A gracious person to strangers
He meet.

My dear Kevyn
I am saddened by your news !
I was rushed full of emotion but
remembered the good times we all had
with you and your siblings all growing up
in The Gardens !
Rest in peace
Sincere sympathy to The Howard Family

Kevyn, it was an honor to work with you.
Remembering all the good times we had. All the great people we met, all the places we went, all the memories.
Memories... Like that time you backed into a pole in DC.
Memories... Like the time I spilled orange juice on your breakfast.
Memories that we made together.
Memories that I will never forget.
Say hello to Keith for me.
Miss you, love you, bye
How you can show support
