My heart is broken to hear about the passing of kevin. He was a very good friend to me and to my dad. Any time we saw him he was working to build or fix something for someone. He was the most selfless and giving person i have ever known. Always willing to help anyone and never asking anything in return. Kevin had a heart of gold and he will be missed so very much. Never forgotten and forever in our hearts. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel.
