Kevin will be missed. He and I lost touch over the years but I have fond memories of him and of his kind nature. He never had an unkind word for anyone and was a true gentlemen.



Another one of his Republican buddies.

Kevin had so many qualities that I am honored to count him among my friends. I think what I admired most about Kevin, was his ability to love almost any suffering person. He seemed to easily see past externals and see the love inside every suffering person and then give of himself to help relieve that suffering.



Those “silly” e-mails he sent will be sorely missed now, but Kevin will be alive in my heart and memories until it is my time to join him. Kevin and his family are in my prayers.



Kevin’s republican buddy,

He helped save my life, and in his death I feel my heart filled with gratitude at having spent the time that we had together. If it hadn't been for Kevin Falk's generosity in having shared his life experience with me, I would not be the person I am today. We love you Kevin, all of us who you helped with no expectation in return. You blessed our lives!

I remember Kevin fondly from my friendship with his sister and brother, Kaja and Thor. He was always friendly to a younger kid who was hanging around and his passion for things he believed in was evident even then. My condolences to the entire Falk family.

We cannot know where the journey goes
we can only follow the heart
to the people we cherish
while we live. When we perish
we again become one with the flow.
With warm affection,

Kevin was a great friend and was always considered one of our family. He was such a knowledgeable person in his own right and still had so much to share. He will be sorely missed by us and many that knew him.
