Kevin is just one of those friends you didn't have to keep in contact with constantly but boy do I miss him.
GOD BLESS YOU KIDDO AND GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVED YOUR WIFE AND LITTLE GIRL. MAY YOU BOTH KNOW HOW PROUD HE WAS OF YOU BOTH. We have a Bed and Breakfast, maybe sometime you could come visit.
LOVE,

So sorry to have received the news of Kevin's passing. Kevin worked with my mother ( Ann Mc Grath Krebs)on the switchboard at St. John's Hospital in Springfield when Kevin was younger. She always talked about how wonderful Kevin was to work with and she was not saying this just because he was a relative. My sisters and I last spoke with Kevin at a family reunion in Springfield a few years ago and new he was suffering. My warmest thoughts and prayers to his wife and daughter and all the brother and sisters. So sorry to have missed his funeral. Mary Kay (Krebs) Henderson

Kevin was my brother Steve's college roommate. We met him once again when the military assigned my husband to Granite City, Illinois leaving us to live in Black Jack, Missouri. We had Cal over for dinner several times and he never complained about the fixin's. He took us to a wonderful baseball game Cubs v.s. Cardinals. Can't remember who won but we had more fun. What a friend! Talked to him not long ago by text while passing through St. Louis but he said he wasn't feeling well that day maybe next time. I am so sorry for your loss Toni and Megan and all of the Mc Grath's my heart is with you as you adjust to life without this wonderful special spirit that we got to know and love. God go with you and God Bless you and if you are ever in TEXAS you better stop in or ELSE. Love, Susan Japuntich Huether and Families Fredericksburg, TX.

Kevin's passion, ferocity and convictions truely defined him and are emblematic of the home in which he grew up. However, what seemed to make him very special was his compassion for others. His ability to comfort those in times of need through his humor and ability to listen are what made him great.
Only our kindest regards and warmest thoughts go to Toni and Megan during this sad time. Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss.
