God must have been short a good man on August 3rd.
Kevin was a brilliant soul, downright funny guy and hard worker. I met him 15 years ago, and he always had a smile on his face and a kind word to pass. As we like to joke, 'Cork - great place to be from!'

Heard about Kevin's passing yesterday with some old school friends from Clonakilty Community College. We were reminiscing about what good fun and a good guy he was. Very sad to hear of this. Our deepest sympathy to the O'Sullivan Family. From the Russell Family, Clonakilty

I am so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. Please accept my condolences to Kevin's extended family. He was a diligent co-worker and such a character...always had something funny to say. I worked with him at Bayer in Berkeley for a couple of years while the Purification suite was being renovated. I was impressed with him for many reasons, but the one that really tugged at my heart was how he would regularly go back to Ireland to help, along with his 6 brothers, care for his ailing mother. I knew then that he and his family were special. He will be missed. ~Daphne Bogart

Sincere sympathies to kevins brothers, their familes and all the extended family in SF and here in Irl.
Far too young in years to be taken. I'm sorry that I didn't have the pleasure of spending time with Kevin when in San Francisco, as I did with more of the O Sullivan clan,in particular, you Brian and Niall. Many of those memories will be with me for life, and the stories of growing up around Clon.
My thoughts are with ye at this time, particularly with Kevins untimely passing and , so far from home.
