My heart is broken to hear of Kevin passing. I loved him, he was a great friend that was a big part of John and I life.
I have so many fantastic memories of all the Friday nights. The music, the drums and all the good times with good friend. A shadow has crossed my heart. Love ya man. You and John stay out of trouble up there.

I´m so sorry for your loss, I met Kevin years ago through my brother in law and he was a very nice guy. Every time I ran into Kevin he would take the time to talk and ask how things are going. I´m gonna miss seeing Kevin around. God Bless
