I am so sorry I was unaware of Kevin's passing. I have recently undergone my own surgeries, and simply have not kept up with the news. I am very sorry. I really enjoyed Kevin, our discussions regarding Marquette basketball, working out at Experience, and of course bragging about our Kids.

Really a wonderful man, I will really miss him

sincerely,

Dr. Dan McKinnon

No one organized get togethers with friends and family better then Kevin. His loyalty to his faith, friends, fellow workers and family, sense of humor and the joy he put in everyone's life will be greatly missed. I am at a loss for words and blessed to have been one of the many of Kevin's life-long friends. Was there a song he didn't know or a movie line he couldn't quote? My thoughts and prayers go out to Laura, Shannon, Matt, Donna and his extended family.

Kevin was a great friend for almost 30 years. He was funny, reliable, a great listener, and valued friendships like no other person I have ever known. He was honest and sincere, and he cared very much for his kids. A great loss for all of us.

Camping in Jay'M Wyoming (population 5). He was a blast to be around. I was blessed to have called him a friend. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.

Kevin was one of the most down to earth, no nonsense and fun loving people I've had the pleasure to know and work with. His humor and wit always brought a smile to everyone's face and his love and knowledge of music will always be remembered. My sincere condolences to his family. We will all be a little emptier without him.
