Words cannot describe how shocked and deeply saddened I am to hear of Kevin's passing. I only spoke to him two days earlier from the day of his passing. . He was one of the kindest person I know. Also,a very skilled hairdresser...his work was always flawless. And I know now that he walk among angels. My deepest sympathies and prayers for his parents, partner and other family and friends. May the lord give you the strength to heal as the days go by.

Kevin, it was my honor to know you yet so briefly. My sympathy to your entire family.
Psalm 116:15 - Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 -
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them. We will be taken up in the clouds. We will meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with him forever.

Words cannot describe my feelings at the loss of one of the best friends I have ever the honor of knowing and being loved by. I was saddened when our paths separated as life took us in different directions, but I am confident that we will meet again. I find great comfort in knowing that my mom now has Kevin's great wit, compassion, and both inner and outer beauty to keep her company in Heaven! My friend, I will so miss our intense conversations, your joyous personality, your unconditional love, and your unmatchable ability to create the most beautiful Christmas tree for me each year for several years! Rest in peace, my dearest Kevin, and know that we loved you. Shelli, Brian and Jennifer McCarville

A group of us in high school called ourselves "Psychotherapy". Kevin was part of that group of friends. Only a week ago a couple of us were telling Kevin stories. My sister and I remember his sense of humor, smile and style fondly. Our hearts are heavy with this news. Sincerest condolences to the family and to Heather and her family as well.

God bless Kevin and his family... I only got to work and know Kevin for just over a year but I adore him...Kevin is the epitome of a very dedicated and passionate man. He was dedicated to his family and friends. A fantastic cook, who gave great advice about cooking. Fashionable AND just the most super nice,snotty,hilarious,good looking with amazing hair (couldn't leave that out) serious and friendliest person to be around. Some people are meant to be a shining star and he was sure one of them!!! God is lucky to have him, no one shall ever have a bad hair day in Heaven!

My sadness and shock cannot be put into words on the loss of my wonderful Cousin Kevin. I am so sorry for Gary, Debbie, Cori, and our entire family. There wasn't a time that I was around Kevin and not laughing. I have so many great memories of him since he was a little boy. Gary and Debbie should be so proud of the beautiful and caring man that they raised. He was handsome beyond belief, Smart, talented in every way and adored by anyone who knew him. One of the most caring person I have ever known. He will be missed by many people. There is a new Angel up in Heaven that is watching over us now and always. RIP now my sweet Cousin. Love Always, Toni Ellen. ??

Our sincerest condolences to all of Kevin's family and dear friends. Kevin will always be remembered as a wonderful person who had many gifts one of which was his personality and another is his styling abilities and eye for color. I always enjoyed him jumping in to help figure out what Diane would do to my hair. I hope our sadness and tears are soon replaced by other warm loving memories of a dear person that is gone from us far to young.

I knew Kevin a lifetime ago, or so it seems. I met him through a friend in 1992. He was so easy to adore. He was so funny, caring, sweet and full of life. I am shocked to have learned of his passing and I pray for his family in this terribly difficult time, He was far too young.... I am deeply saddened. The world lost a wonderful man.
