Hard to believe. We are now missing you along with Nina. Why? I just don't get it. You were so awesome. You were so thoughtful. You were the best big brother. You were a friend. You made me feel so special at Nina's showing. You were outside waiting for me. Your little sister left this earth and you were thinking about me. You knew I was coming before I knew I was coming. I didn't want to say Goodbye to your sister. I pulled up and there you were waiting for me, yelling my name. You ran inside and told them I was here. You came back out to me and escorted me in. How did you have the strength to do that? How did you know I would be there? Well, Kevin, I came and I did not say goodbye to your sister but I did pay my respect to my best friend. I did not say Goodbye to you either. I don't believe in Goodbyes. Call me crazy like always but ,Kevin, I can feel your spirit. You were a gift from God. This earth was not good enough for you. I'm so thankful you got to live and travel like you wanted too. I'm so thankful God let me know you.

I had the pleasure to work with Kevin. His positive, caring, and fun demeanor will be missed. When my mother passed, he offered kind words to me and my family. He will truly be missed.

Kevin, you were one of a kind. So thoughtful, so caring and had funny jokes. If you make fun of my hair now ; me being a simple human, I can't hear it. We will all be thinking of you.
