Over the years I worked sporadically with Kevin, both when he was with Ensco and with the FRA. He was always intelligent, diligent, and always smiling. It is the smile I remember most. It is what I will miss most. He was a fine man. I wish I had more opportunity to work with, and to get him know him better. He was one of the people worth it to know in a life.

My condolences to everyone in the Kesler family. I considered Kevin a friend and mentor. He had encyclopedic knowledge of the railroad industry and was happy to share with anyone who needed information. I will miss talking to him.

As a manager with Canadian Pacific,I had the great privilege of working with Kevin. While we accomplished good things together, I have to say that it never felt like work when Kevin was involved. He invoked a lighter side in everything and I have to say that a couple of the greatest times I ever had happened while travelling with Kevin. My deep condolences on your loss.

My sincerest condolences to the Kesler Family. Kevin was a pleasure to know and work with. I interacted with Kevin over many years while I worked for BNSF Railway and he was always professional, friendly and a real gentleman. I am very sorry to learn of Kevin's passing. May he rest in peace.

My thought and prayers go out to Kevin's family and friends. I worked with Kevin for the 40 years he spent in the railroad industry. We worked together at ENSCO for 32 years where he was my boss, mentor but most of all my friend. I will miss our conversations and meetings. God Bless all of you. I'll miss you Kevin.

We are so sorry for your loss, we have worked with Kevin for many years at ENSCO. I am sure he is strumming his guitar in heaven and looking after all of you. He will be missed.
