I am frequently reminded of you... every time that I hear the Bee Gee“s on the air anywhere, I can see your face smiling at me as you "bust out" the lyrics. You and only you will always be "My Dog"!!

Such a wonderful, kind, talented young man. So many years ago he attended my college class and I remember him as a studious , questioning student. His prose was at an A+ level. And could he sing! Now he is singing with the angels.

I first met Kevin at the Sheriff's Office. I have always held him in the respect. He always had a smile and kind words. I recently ran into him at the health department and we had a wonderful conversation. Kevin, I will truly miss your smile. Rest in peace my friend. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to the family.

To the dear parents, sister, brother & extended family of Kevin. My heartfelt condolences go out to each and every one of you on the passing of Kevin, which I was so saddened to hear about. I work at the health department and when I saw Kevin first thing in the morning he always had a smile for you. We talked of many things, his love of music, his writings and his drawings; he would leave these free hand drawings throughout the health department, you would see them on bulletin boards, dry erase boards or sheets of paper, these were amazing, he had a special talent. After he showed me poems or cards that he wrote, I would always tell him he could write for hallmark or start his own business, he had such a way with words. And we talked about food, how he loved to cook and experiment with new things and he would show me pictures of a new dish he had made and enjoyed with his brother, his twin who he didn't have enough great things to say about you Brad. He talked about you all the time and your special bond and I'm so sorry he left you, his sister and his parents too soon. He talked about how special his whole family was, he was so proud when he talked about all of you. He was so considerate, and polite and had such a gentle soul. Although I knew him for a short time, I'm glad I got to know him. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal ~ love leaves a memory no one can steal. With caring thoughts & deepest sympathy ~ Love Regina

We at the New Hanover County Health Department will miss him greatly. He welcomed us to work each and every morning with a beautiful smile and a pleasant "good morning" that started our day with joy. He was creative, talented, wise, personable, conscientious, hard working, and a joy to know. I am sure he has found peace and love on his journey.
