Mr. McDermott,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War as a Green Beret. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I was very lucky to have Kevin as my first friend made in a school setting. It was at Pine street, and nobody could've been a better classmate. He had a great sense of humor and led quietly by example. my parents loved him too. this is really heartbreaking news. i'm very sorry for the family and wish all of them and his loved ones the most comfort and condolences at this time.

Can't believe Kevin's gone. He will always be the little guy that I babysat for.

Dear Family and Friends of Kevin McDermott,
Though it has been many years since I have seen Kevin, possibly as long ago as when we were at St. Patrick's School. He is well remembered as being a good student and a nice guy. His loss will surely be felt by his family and friends.
Godspeed Kevin and God bless.
With Sincere Condolences,
