He wanted to make a difference in peoples lives. Your entire family will miss you, we all love you very much and we will miss you until you make us all laugh again.

My Big-Little Brother Kevin..
I hope you are in heaven making all the other angels laugh. That was one gift, among many others that god gave you. I only wish, like many others, that I had just one more day, hour,or even minute to tell you just how much I love you, and get one of your Big Bear Hugs. You brought our family together the day we brought you home, just as you brought us together the day you went to heaven. I can only pray that you know how much we all love you, and will miss you!! I will cherish the memories that we shared, as you made me laugh so hard, and took great pleasure doing so. You are not in pain any longer, and your with God. Something you've prayed for, for so long now. RIP my dear brother, I will always love you!!
Love your big sister, Robin

My Big-Little Brother Kevin,
Words cannot express my sadness. I wish, as we all do, that I could have just spent one more day, hour, or even minute with you so I could have told you that I loved you, and received one of your big bear hugs. I will keep so close to my heart, the wonderful memories that we shared. The memory of laughter is the strongest that I will keep dear to my heart!! I know that you are no longer in pain, and that you are up in heaven keeping all the other angels in stitches (laughter). That was one of your true gifts that god gave you, among many others. I will always love you. You brought us together as a family the day we brought you home, and brought us together again the day you went to heaven. We Love You, and will Miss You Always!!
Your big sister, Robin

We are shocked and saddened to read of Kevin's passing. We have the privilege of living with Kevin's woodworking in our home and RV. He has helped us with many projects. Although we haven't seen him in some time, his passion for woodworking will live on with us. We had some great times together too. Rest In Peace our friend, no more pain. You will be missed. Blessings to the family. Love Always, Beth & Clay

My little brother Kevin. I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on you or the day you got to come home to our family. You were a big brown eyed teddy bear. You were the best kid to tickle because your laugh was infectious. Your laugh and humor remained that way. We had our good times and not so good times but through it all my love for you never diminished. Although I will miss you terribly I rejoice that your physical pain is gone. I imagine that you are in heaven keeping everyone laughing and adding a bright spot there. We promise to watch over Maddie as a family should. We love and miss you already.
Love your big sister, Caryn

Dad words cannot explain how I feel right now. After years of differences and years of harmony, it's hard to find an equal thought or balance in my heart. You have made so many people laugh and help spread the feeling of easiness, and joy. Even though at times we have had disagreements, you will always be my dad. It's hard for me to fathom the thought of you not here, and I still don't know how to handle my emotions. All I can pray for is that you watch over me and your loved ones, and help guide us to the place that you know is true. I know you are soaking up heaven right now, and enjoying every minute. I love you for ever and always. Your little girl- Mads
