With loosing you I believe all of us have found it so hard to find beauty in this world. We are all hurting and all pushing forward and finding strength within ourselves for you. I found beauty last night as I laid on our porch and staired into the sky. There was a multi colored rainbow ring around the moon. It was truely beautiful as you were to us all. I thank you and god for that beautiful ring. I feel in my heart I was given the ring I once asked for again. I want to also thank all of our friends and families for their support for all of us thru this difficult time. We all love and miss you more than any words can say. Once again thank you and god for the beautiful ring that surrounded the moon last night. Heaven must be amazing and indescribable. Until we are there together again soon.
I'll be loving you forever.

Though you may be gone from earth you will never be gone from my heart. We had something most people only wish for and dream of. There will never be a man that will ever come close to taking your place in my heart. When you left us a piece of me went with you. You saved me from the hell I was in and I just wished I coud have saved you from the hell you were going through. I miss you more than words could ever express and I know I will see you again one day.I love you with all of my heart and soul.I know I am a better person because of you. You are the light in my heart and the passion that burns in my soul...I will love you forever and always....

The bond between family is very precious. I know that Kevin was well loved by his Mother and Grandparents, Sister and Brother-in-law and, I'm sure, his children.
Kevin was created by our most wonderful Father in heaven and is there with him now. May you find comfort in knowing that Kevin is free of burdens and difficulties of this life. He is now experiencing the wonder of Eternal Life and you will be with him again.
We are so sorry for the hurt you are feeling and we are praying that the Lord will comfort you. You are in our prayers.

In Love and Heartfelt Sympathy,

Kev,
You were a good friend to me always. You were there when I needed someone to talk to when times were rough. Some of our conversations are still just between us. I will always miss my friend. Chris, Brock, and Savannah if you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on I am here for you.

There is never a good time to lose someone and it seems even harder when they are so young like Kevin. We didn't know him really well but was around him enough to know he was a fun loving guy and a NASCAR nut. Our deepest sympathy to Kevin's entire family. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Kevin's family. I have a lot of fond memories, from watching local bands, to Nascar races with Kevin. I'm not sure who cried harder the day Dale Earnhardt died, Kevin or myself. He was a true friend who put everyone's elses needs above his own. God bless you Kevin, it was my privilege to be your friend.

To my Dad,

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I love you
Brock
