I'm very sad to hear that Kevin passed away. I was a public defender in King County where Kevin and I crossed paths many times in many courts over many years. Kevin was one of the nicest people I met during that time. He had the kindest eyes, smile, and manner. My heart hurts for his family, friends, and community. He will be missed by more people than any of us can know. Wishing you comfort and peace in your mourning.
