Jackie, Dustin & Donna-my condolences to you all. Kevin, Jimmy & I had a lot of fun adventures when we were little. Always ended with Bill being upset but I don't think any of us would change it for the world. Kevin had a good work ethic like his Grandma Hoffman. Rest In Peace nephew. Say hello to mom, John, Erma June & Shanna for me.

Kevin,
spent the night getting the trailer ready for Labor day week-end with you and Jackie. I thought about you the whole time! I had everything ready to go and at the last minute...10:00 p.m. that I didn't have my chainsaw ready to go knowing you wouldn't make it. I could always trust you to have the chainsaw ready and roaring. I spent 2-1/2 hours rebuilding my chainsaw with a lot of knowledge you taught me on how to fix a chainsaw. Guess what? It's running fantastic and I'm ready for the trip! It sucks bad that I can't split the biggest tree in the forest that you cut down! Now I'll have to cut it down and split it myself.
Well, DNR says we cant transfer your deer tag to family member.first time in two years we drew out. We'll have to prove your gone to get our money back! I wanted to try to get it to my son(yes one of your other best buddies) but you know the State of Utah better than anyone and yes they say no. Sorry man!
You were what I considered my best friend. Hunting, fishing, camping and our families were what you were made of. but more than ever my Horse shoe partner, that could kick anyone. I'll miss you man! Already do!
