Hi Kevin
I miss you every day. You were my best friend, and my husbands best friend. Tom and I talk about you all the time. We celebrate your birthday every year with a ice cold one. Just the way you would like it. Life does go on, but it will never be the same without you.
Love Connie

Hi Kevin~
I brought Flowers up to you on May 1st in Honor and Memory of you... It is just so hard to believe that it has already been a year since you have been gone. My Big Brother, Rob Salisbury remembers that you and he always had so much fun playing sports together since our childhood. And My Sister, Denny Salisbury always thought that you were so sweet and Hanesome. I absolutely agree!! We all miss you and we will always remember you. You're one of a kind Kevin McNally!
May the Angels be guiding your way.
With Love~ Your Friend, Tina Salisbury

Kevin was a great friend, person and most of all Dad. Kevin was taken from us to soon. We will always remember all he did for our son, Corey. Corey shared all the many times he spent over at Kevin's and Jared's. Kevin would have all the "guys" over and her would watch, care and feed them. Kevin wanted to make Jared's Senior prom special and he rented a big white limo, Jared over booked the limo and Kevin did not want to tell anyone that they couldn't ride in it-Kevin's solution was to rent a car for Jared, his date and another couple. This was Kevin always making things special and going the extra mile. Kevin you are missed. Kevin & Lori Broin

Jared,
What can be said that hasnt already been said about your dad? I have heard so many stories recently about Kevin and all of the things he has done for people. He enjoyed life and it seems that his was packed! I miss him being at Mendo every morning when I got here. He was always shaking things up and keeping things lively in the warehouse and it seems empty without him now.
He was very proud of you and the things you are doing in your life. When I asked about you, his face would brighten, he would smile that Kevin smile and you could see the genuine pride in having you as a son. We had many conversations about you and the things you were doing in the Marines. I told him often that he did good with you. His response was always the same "No, he did good." You were everything to him. You made him proud and I know you will continue to do so.

I remember Kevin from back in the Oak Manor days.... In recent years, we passed each other almost daily on HWY 20. Hard to fathom. My prayers & thoughts go out to his friends and family.

Jared, After reading the other entries in this guest book, I must say I feel that I know you too. Your Dad took care of our office products for every place that I have worked. I don't think we would have survived without his help. He was so proud of you and all of your accomplishments. I remember him talking about you since you were a baby, baseball, four wheeling, hunting, camping, but most of all, he was proud that you chose to serve your Country as a Marine. Kevin was so full of life, he always had something funny to say, and was also a responsible and helpful business man. He loved you with all his heart. Please remember that he will always be with you.

To the Kevin Bruce McNally Family:
Just last Thursday, April 27, I had quite a long chat with Kevin. We reminisced about some of the searches (SAR) we were on together and he told me that Jared was a Marine stationed in Scotland. This was a very meaningful conversation for me, one that I will now never forget.
My heart and deepest sympathy goes out to all of Kevin's family, I too will miss him very much.

For 6 years, we/I saw Kevin everyday. When I worked for Sutter Lakeside Hospital, Materials Mgt. Dept. He became a regular part of our day, one way or another. I would hear about him from my co-workers for about an hour after he left-all of my co-workers were ladies! Kevin was a good guy, a good person, who knew his business, and treated everyone fairly. My deepest condolences to all of his family. Kevin will be sorely missed; but will he leaves behind a legacy.

The first time I met Kevin was 11 years ago when my son was lost out 3rd gate in Willits...As part of Search & Rescue he rode his 4-wheeler over 20 hours strait searching for Topher. I will never forget his encouraging words and his determination. He told me about his son, I could tell Kevin was not the type of person that gave up...on anything. My sincere condolences to the family.

Dear Jared
My boss, Anne opened her branch office in Lakeport approx. 16 years ago and your father has kept us going all these years. Always the efficient hard working business man, he was not one to stand and chat, but would indeed take a moment to share with great pride what was going on with you. Kevin was so very proud of you! I am so sorry for your loss. Your father, a dear friend to Mendocino Optical Co, and my boss, will be greatly missed.
Sincerely,
Julie Villa (Pardini)

I was shocked and saddened to receive a phone call telling me of Kevin's death. I have many fond memories of Kevin from the late 70's and early 80's. I looked forward to seeing him every year at the Boonville fair, where we caught each other up on our lives. My sincere condolences to his family.

Jared,
Even though we have never met, I believe I have known you for a very long time through your father. My son joined the Marines eight years ago and from that moment I knew how much the Marines meant to you through your father. Your father enjoyed telling stories of you like when you had problems with the boy who thought he could kick your butt, your camp outs with all your buddies, eating your father out of house and home. Kevin was always there with his wisdom, love, and humor. I know your were his best friend and he was always there to help you through it all.
Kevin will be missed by all the lives he touched. Your father was a magnificent person.
With all my love,
Kathy Burns

I will always think fondly of Kevin and remember his big smile and stories he would tell about his son and friends. We at City Hall in Clearlake new him for 20+ yrs. He loved his son and was very proud of him. My thoughts go out to the family. God speed Kevin.
