Kevin was a great guy. I would often run into him walking home from work and I would stop to chat. He always had a smile on his face and was fun to be around. I will miss him greatly and will always wish I would have gotten to know my cousin better. My thoughts, love and prayers are with his family. Kevin will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

I have known Kevin since 1974, he was always a ray of sunshine! I remember going on vacation one year and asking Kevin if he would come over to feed my fish and water my plants. He did it and then when we got home he wouldn't accept any money for it. Kevin was a loving, kind and caring man. His love was unconditional, and he was a friend you could count on no matter what. Kevin will aways be remembered as a strong man that overcame alot of hardships and proved he is a valiant spirit, with a heart of gold. I am a better person for having known Kevin and I will never forget him.
