It's 10yrs after his passing but I am just learning the news that Kevin passed. We went to elementary school together (Charles V Carroll School) and he was always the sweetest, kindest boy with the bluest eyes and cutest freckles. He lived across the street from my grandparents and he and I would always talk out the window when I was visiting. I often wondered what became of Kevin as I had moved away. I'm happy to know that he married and had children. My heart breaks for you all.

Jennifer,

I had the privilege of attending law school with Kevin in which we shared a class or two. We kept loosely in touch directly out of law school, and it has saddened me to hear of his passing. Kevin always came across as such a warm and inviting person. I remember his smile and how he used to say, "Hey, Craig..." Such simple words but how he said them made you know he was excited and interested to see you. You and your children are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer,

I am so sorry for your loss. Kevin and I attended law school at Santa Clara. We were in the evening program together, so we were in the same classes for the better part of four years. We studied together, on occasion drank a few cold ones, and played a few rounds of golf. I think we bonded because neither of us was a traditional law student. Kevin was a great guy, and I'm a better person for having known him.

God bless you and your family.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. He was a friend from Bishop Stang High School and I think we had almost every class together. He was always so happy and fun to be around. He had the cutest smile with those beautiful blue eyes and rosy cheeks. I will cherish my memories of him and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jen,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Kevin was a friend at Bishop Stang and I can so vividly remember his quiet sweet ways and picture him turning red with laughter over a private joke. He was the kind of boy a mom would be proud of - and I'm sure your son is just the same. I am so sorry for your loss and will hold you and your children in my prayers.

I've never met you but I know how wonderful each of you are. He carried his love for you not only on his sleeve but through his beautiful smile and optimum attitude. Mr. Kevin's warm and meaningful smile will be missed. God Bless you and take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over each of you.

Dear Jen, I am so sorry for your loss! I was a good friend of Kevin's at Bishop Stang High School. He was such a fun and nice person. We had many classes together were part of a casual study group, so I know he had brains to go along with his good looks and humor! And of course, he was a gifted athlete. Again, my condolences.
