Thinking about all of you at this time. So glad that Kory and Kody had a chance to know their dad, despite the journey that he had on this earth. I wish you all solace in knowing that he is at peace now.

Kevin was a quiet man, a humble and kind man. I never heard a bad word against him. He is longer in pain and may now rest in peace.

Kevin was such a wonderful person, when I was out in california to visit he was great with my boys. That was back in 1989 I will always remember him and I hope his boys will be able to get past this and be as great as their dad. Love you Kevin you are now at peace.
