Kevin Waldron Obituary

WALDRON, Kevin - Passed away unexpectedly this week following an accident. Kevin was 37. Kevin was originally from Washington, D.C., where he attended Georgetown University and received a B.A. in liberal arts in 1995. Kevin moved to San Francisco in early 1998. He deeply loved his adopted home of San Francisco and planned never to leave. Kevin will be remembered as an eternal optimist who loved life and was delightfully funny. Kevin enjoyed biking, travel, and gardening. We will miss him terribly. Kevin is survived by his life partner, Keith Wetmore, who currently serves as Chair of the law firm Morrison & Foerster LLP; his mother, Barbara Greenberg; his father, Melvin Waldron; his stepbrother, Glenn Rooks; and his stepsister, Heather Rooks. A memorial will be held for Kevin on Sunday, April 24, 2005 at 4:00 pm at The City Club of San Francisco, 155 Sansome Street, San Francisco, 94104. In his memory, donations may be made to New Leaf Services For Our Community, Attention: Development Department, 1390 Market Street, Suite 800, San Francisco, CA 94102 or The San Francisco AIDS Foundation, File #7263501, P.O.

I found out today why I have not seen my friend

I still can not believe that this has happened

We liked to talk about old vintage Mercedes Benz since we both own one

I will miss him- my thoughts are with his partner and family

Keith, I have never met either of you, but I was struck by the tragedy of your loss by seeing the impact on my friends, Ivy and Rebecca. Kevin seemed like such a generous and creative force in the world. His touches in Joshua's room are so wonderful. Kevin will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. Warmest regards.

Dear Keith:



I met Kevin at the Firm Holiday Party in December 2004. I'll never forget how dashing you two looked together and your big beautiful smiles. God will give you a little "Forget" pill which will allow you to ease your pain and remember only the good and the best moments you shared. Feel better, and please - take care.

My dearest Keith,



I was so saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. I will never forget his kindness to me or those "gorgeous" blue eyes. May you find comfort in knowing others share your sadness.



With heartfelt condolences,



Madeline
