Even though Jerry and I only knew Kevin as a young boy hearing he grew up to be a wonderful young man is heartfelt. My sympathy goes out to his family and friends. I know Grandpa Jerry is there looking out for him.

Just hearing you laugh would make everyon else laugh. Sorry I'm not closer to home. I wish I could be there for your service, and I know Stephanie does, too. Your family and friends are in my prayers.

Matt, Tami & family -
Our hearts go out to you at this sad time. We never expect to outlive our children, and I can only imagine your pain.
I remember Kevin when we painted the Auburn Youth Resource building, I think he was 10! He was delightfully fun and a great young man even then...I can only imagine what a fine young adult he became.
Our prayers are with you as we celebrate Kevin's life and rejoice that he is with his heavenly Father!
May God grant you all peace through His amazing Grace.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Kevin. Kevin was born on the same day and in the same hospital within a half an hour of my daughter, my prayers are with his family. He was such a wonderful, funny, and loving young man. He will be missed greatly!

I knew Kevin was a great kid that had grown into a fine man, and meeting so many of his friends recently makes me realize that many others thought so too.
There is a huge hole left that Kevin used to occupy. I pray his parents and brothers find the strength they will need to endure this loss.

My entire family prays for the MacDonald's and all family members in this time of sorrow. This is such a shock and those that knew Kevin are in a lot of pain so prayer is the only answer to give strength to everyone. He was such a good boy and a fine young man, he will be truly missed always.
