To Aunt Shirley, Uncle Paul, Matthew and Marc: I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers go out to you, and to Kevin. I loved Kevin like he was a best friend, as well as my cousin. I have more memories with him than I do with a lot of my friends and its because he had such a wonderful influence on all of us growing up as kids. Some of the crazy fun things we all did growing up together would never have happened without the brilliant ideas Kevin had. I know this is something that none of us will be able to completely over come, but I do believe he is at peace now, and I do believe he is watching over us all. And most of all, I feel in my heart that no matter where he is today, he knows that we all love him very much and that we always will. Kevin- you will always hold a special place in my heart. Love, Brieanne

Dear Paul and Shirley,
I was so saddened and shocked to read the tragic news about your son,
Kevin.I remember when the boys would come and visit Congress Middle School on occasion. Paul, since I truly believe in the afterlife, we can only hope that he pays a visit to Elvis. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Your former co-worker, Carol Duberstein

To the entire family:
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I am very grateful to have met Kevin last holiday season and even in the short time we spent together, it was easy to see why everyone loves him. His spirit will remain with all of us throughout our lives.

I am so sorry to hear about Kevin. He was a great guy, and very caring about others. He always gave me laughter in my life, and especially at work. He was the type of person that didnt care if you were popular ot not, he would still be there for you. Although we lost touch after he went off to college, he still gave me many great memories with some of the things we did and the pictures we had. Once again I am extremely sorry to hear of his passing.
The Publix Crew Days at the Beach-Life was Good!
