I knew Kevin since the 7th grade at Libby Junior High and through high school. Always upbeat and friendly. His passing was too early. What a talent. Rest in peace my friend.

Kevin, I sure wish that I could be there on Thursday to honor your life.
This is Walt writing on the East coast. I was the keyboard player in one of your first bands; WeJam.
During everyone's time of grief, look again in your hearts, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
We'll miss you.

I played in "Legend" with Kevin in the early 90's. Not just a talented musician, but a good friend to everyone who needed one. Kevin was a good listener when that's what I needed & a shoulder to cry on when the situation arose. He was like a big brother. He will be deeply missed. My sincerest condolences to his children & other family members. Kami Johnson-Fehlig
