I don't even know what to say! Kevin was a great friend and truly one of a kind. He leaves a void in Minneapolis, a man like him comes around so rarely. He will be missed by all of us in California, we all loved when he was able to visit!

Wow, I just heard! You and I go way back to Park Board football, School and then again bouncing at Lyons Pub. Its been a long time since we ran into eachother and seems now that I will have to wait abit more, yet I know you will have it all set up before I can help. I think it was sixth or seventh grade when we played football together and you of course where the size of a grown man but it wasn't your thing to harm anyone and I remember taking it upon myself to try to teach you to be mean, to hit hard and crush the other guys like tough football players do. Well it didn't work. You know I'm glad I failed teaching you to be "MEAN"! Smile everyone

Marianne, I just wanted to let you know that we here in Womencare at Abbott NW Hospital are thinking about you and your family. I was deeply saddened to hear about Kevin. He was so young and from what I have read in these notes one Heck of a guy. Peace be with you in your time of grief. Hugs and Kisses Robin Rush

My Brother,
You were the gentle giant, the man with little words but many deeds. You came to us in our family and brought a breathe of fresh air and made many sacrifices in your life for the benefit of others. You will be missed dearly. I only wish there was more time with you on this earth to have another one of great conversations and laughs.
Your brother forever

Doesn’t make since really, but apparently God needed a good soul by his side. Rest well; gentle man, my prayers go out to Jason and your family.

Kevin, Thank you for being a friend to me and my little brother, Shawn.
Thank you for letting me be on the Lyons Pub Softball team...even though I freely admit to your assessment of my game skills: "It's not that you're so bad at softball,Jermar...if we had a football team, you would be the best player. Lyon's Pub does not have a football team!"
My prayers to you and your family
~~~Fly on Brother! Fly on!~~~

Kev - I've known you since the days at Howe, to the days at RHS where we attempted to dance in the school play, to the road trip up to Duluth with the crazy Italian and to the crazy nights at the pub where you would always make me laugh. You were and always will be a great friend and greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

What a great smile and a great hug-giver...such a big heart. The Pub will not be the same without him...instead of saying "let's go to the Pub", we started saying "let's go see Kevin".
Kev-Sorry I never got you that date with 'blondie'...now you can watch us both from up above. I feel so blessed that I got to know you, even though it was for too short of a time. RIP hottie.

Kevin-Well now Heaven has a bouncer. The Pub will never be quite the same again without you. 5 years we worked the door together and you were always the mainstay. A man w/ a big heart who always thought of and put others ahead of himself. We all miss you very much.

From the little blonde hair boy who was curious about everything, to the fine young man with a gentle heart that you became, you will be missed by everyone! Thank you for the honor of being your godmother and watching you grow up! Give Carmel a hug for me and Grandma and Grandpa too! Auntie R,

I can not express how sad I am at Kevin's passing. Growing-up with him through Job's Daughters/DeMolay was always an adventure - especially our crazy trip to Duluth! He always knew how to make me laugh, he gave great hugs, and he was a teriffic friend. I will miss and remember him always.

Kevin was the first friend I had at Lyons. All of us at the pub would really appreciate your help from up there Kev. Help watch over us all and protect us from the crazy folk that sometimes wonder in! I miss you already and will never forget your smile, oh yeah and the mints!

I've never forgotten the many evenings I spent with Kevin when he was SJC for DeMolay....through all those boring banquets he always made me laugh and kept us entertained. I've always thought of him with such fondness. I know that his memory will keep you smiling.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and your many, many friends. It is hard for me to grasp that you are gone and that your laughter will be left to our memories. Who will give those fabulous back rubs at Lyons now?? You are missed and you will never be forgotten. Peace be with you!

Kevin-
Words can't even begin to explain how sad we all are that you're gone. I am so glad that I got to spend some time with you before you left, even if it was in that stuffy hospital room :)
What a wonderful person you were and I feel so blessed to have gotten the chance to know you. Thanks for always taking care of me at Lyon's when I couldn't seem to do it myself.
I'll miss you.

Kevin,
It's hard to believe you're gone.From the first night working the Pub door with you, you were a good friend. Rest easy, you will be remembered.

Kevin, this news comes as a great shock, it seems so long ago when we all would hang out, it was long ago. You are and will be sorely missed, but your memory will live on in the hearts and minds of those who you touched, those who knew you, those who long to have the chance to speak with you once again. Lloyd, Marianne, and Bryan, know that prayers and warm thoughts are with you, and your family as many are grieving during this difficult time with you. May God help to comfort your hearts and minds and wrap you in his arms bringing you some solace where words often fail. We'll all see you again someday Kev.

Even though we only saw each other a few times a year, I still have so many fond memories of growing up with Kevin around. Whether it was shooting off fireworks or picking on my sister we always had a good time. You are already missed.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Kevin. To go to the Pub now will never be the same to have my big brother protector there to watch over me and make sure no weirdos are bothering me. Also, everytime I hear Tom Jones I will think of you Kevin.
We love you and will miss you dearly!
