I have been praying to you every day and know you are there and listening. I miss you telling me you love me! Kevin, you will always be in my heart and it is very heavy. I know you are at home now and at peace. You will never have to look behind you anymore. But, if you do remember i'm there and reminding you, you will never be forgotten and you have left a great impression on many people especially LOGAN. I could write a novel and go on for hours and you and i know that is not what i need to do. I will talk to you every night. Kevin, goodbye, for now I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU! Rest in peace. xoxox from logan, kim, and john mark.

Kevin,
I miss you so badly my heart aches. Its so hard for me to accept your gone. Ill never hear your voice, or give you a hug, it all seems like a nightmare. I feel lost and empty without you here. I miss you calling me on the phone or coming in the door, saying what's up Cookie!, and I love you Mom, and taking care of me when I wasn't feeling well. I know we had some rough times to, but we got over them and became stronger and closer,like best friends,not only mother and son. Even at times things seemed impossible, I never gave up on you, and you knew that( so many memories, so many things I never got to say).I was proud of the good kind hearted and caring, nurturing and compassionate person you became. YOUR ARE SPECIAL! God blessed me with two beautiful boys,but why he took you from me so tragically,I can't understand, and never will. The song Kenny Chesney- Who you'd be today, reminds of how we remembered Mark, and now the memories of you. My heart is broken and heavy hurting for you. I know how much you love me and how much I love you. I pray everyday that your in Heaven with your family and friends. You are in my heart, thoughts and prayers every minute , everyday. I will never forget you and you will be with me everyday and in everything I do, forever in my heart.I pray you are at peace and in a better place, and watching over all of us whom love you. I'm looking for the day we meet again.
Rest Peacefully Baby!
Always in my heart and love you forever,
MOM

Kevin was an extremely great asset as a friend. He was always down for whatever, whenever and always had your back. His heart was as soft as fine skin, yet hard as a diamond cut rock. His mother passed her love and gentleness to him and it always shined through no matter what, in everything Kev accomplished. Kev will forever remain one of the most special people in my life.
Love and respect,

Kevin,
This is for you. I am not sure if you know how much I loved you while you were here on earth and how much I still love you. I have not met anyone as special as you in my lifetime. Next to my children, you meant everything to me. You were the love of my life. You were a strong and wonderful man and great father figure to my children. You would have made a great husband and father. I will forever love you. I feel that I have lost my soulmate, but I know I will see you again in eternity. I look forward to that day and I hope it is soon. And as you always called me...
Your queen,

dear Garrison family just want to say i am sorry for the loss of Kevin. Kathleen i remember you because i used to live right behind you in Cementon back in the 60s.Your brother Jimmy whom the LORD called home at such a young age was probably present to help greet Kevin when he passed from this very brief human life to the next life which JESUS promised would never end.

My prayers and deapest sympathy go out to the entire Garrison family on your loss. I got to know many sides of Kevin, we were like brothers at one time. There was always a softer, gentler, loving side that many people didn't get to see. That's the Kevin I will miss. I know him, Shane, and Shawn are at peace now. I love you brother. R.I.P.

To the Garrison family,
My deepest and my heartfelt sympathy is with u in this time of loss. Kevin was like the "big" brother i never had.He was one of those friends u always wanted around when trouble was gonna go down, and he was one of those friends that would be by your side when situations like this happend also. i remember when my grandfather died, kevin was right there to pick me up and tell me everything was gonna be ok. yes, we had our share of doing dumb stuff, but no matter what we did, he was always a friend and to tell the truth, i only ever had 2 handfuls of true friends and im so glad Kevin Garrison was one of them. i will miss u my friend. until we see eachother again, watch over all our friends who have died and the ones still down here.

I'm sorry Kevin is not with us no more. Growing up with Kevin was the best time . We never new who we were going to get in a fight with in town or other towns.I will always have those memories with me till i see you again. But all i can say Kevin was a big teddy bear deep inside. I hope you and my brother Jerry can meet up in heaven and hang out just like the old days.You will be missed Kevin.

We may have had our differences in High School, Those differences actually may have changed the way we got along, for the better. I am sorry you are no longer with us. I have to admitt telling the story of little me getting into a fight with a Football Player (a Senior at that) Is one of my favorite High School memories to share. Thank You Kevin. Becky Grube
