I knew Kevin from his time at comcast. We used to talk every day and he had a great sense of humor. We would hang out and watch football on the weekends and joke around, some of the guys gave him the nickname David Spade here. He will be missed and my prayers go out to his family.

I remember Kevin from Bloomingdale High school and it was just wonderful connecting with him again over the past year. His insight, intelligence and humor were something to behold.
He will be greatly missed and remembered often.
Our thoughts, prayers and condolances are with his family and friends.

I knew Kevin just this past year but went to high school with him. His witty sense of humor helped me through some tough times...and his insight and encouragment was an added bonus. My heart goes out to Kevin's family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Although I went to the same high school as Kevin, I really got to know his great sense of humor and his sympathetic, loving heart just this past year. Every morning I would eagerly check my email and posts to see what silly, and humorous thing Kevin had to say for the day. It has been the start of my day, each morning just like drinking a cup of coffee is to most people. The laughter that would spill out of my heart every morning helped me to get through my day.
I have not failed to notice that almost every email/msg/bulletin Kevin wrote, he ended it with "Peace". The very last bulletin he posted he ended with "Love".
May he now have Peace and Love with him ALWAYS AND FOREVER.
He was loved immensely and is greatly missed by myself and many others. It was an honor to be his friend.
My most heartfelt prayers go out to his family. May God cradle you in His arms and wipe away your tears.

You are in Thomas' and my prayers, and we had special prayer for you at our church Wednesday night. Please know how much you are in our thoughts and prayers through this time!

I consider Kevin a good friend he shown only kindness to me and my son. He let us stay at his home in Georgia, and showed us around, took us sight seeing it was great! He had visited me here in Virginia we went fishing and 4 wheeling and had a great time. He took my son to play laser tag and to ride go karts. That was the only Kevin I new and will remember that allways. I am so sorry to hear he his gone. We will remember his kindness and the good times we had, allways!
