Sympathies to the family. I played under Coach Tuck many years ago and was a part of the state championship team. Playing for Coach Tuck was an honor. I learned so much from him, among those were self discipline, perseverance, and teamwork. I look back on that time fondly. May God bless the family.

Kevin was a good friend at UTM. I played on the basketball team with him. He was the first person I met on my first day on campus. He was a very good player and we won a conference championship with him as the starting small forward. We spent a lot of time together and he will be missed.
