Reading Kevin´s obituary twenty years later, after going through high school photos and smiling at those of him. Remembering him then and reading memories of him since, I wish we´d reconnected. There was so much to say and share. I´ll be sure to visit Kevin´s resting place on my next visit home to the Berkshires. May Kevin rest in peace, and may his family, friends and coworkers continue to be consoled so many year later by your memories of this good man.

Mr.and Mrs. Vosburgh and Family,
I want to express my condolences to you both for the loss of your son Kevin. You do not know me and I did not know Kevin personally. I was skiing in Breckenridge in February and was there on the mountain when the ski patrol passed right by me and were attempting to save the life of a young man. At that moment, I began praying for this man, your son, and for his family. I have not stopped praying for you since that day. I think of all of you every day, wondering what Kevin must have been like as a person and also about his family.May God bless and comfort you.

My deepest heart felt sympathy goes out to your family. Kevin was a great person. I will miss him tremendously. He always was willing to help us out no matter what he was doing. He would often come out of his office and growl.... "doh" or "It's Monday again" but it always seemed to be a Monday for Kevin but he always laguhed and found humor in every situation. We shall miss him here at the weather service for many many years. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Kevin... until we meet again...

Dear former neighbors.
It is hard to understand why our Lord takes us when we have so much more living to do, when we are so young and just starting to find true meaning to our lives.
Yet we must go when called.
We watched the boys grow and develop, explore, learn, and play.
We also have pain in our hearts for your loss, and we grieve.
Our family prays for you and yours, for your loss.
Douglas and Betty McClelland, Marie and David.

I worked with Kevin here at the NWS office in Eureka, CA, where he will be greatly missed. We could always count on help from him when needed, he was the type of person that would drop what he was doing to help you solve a problem and to lend a helping hand. No matter what the situation, he could always lighten things up with his sense of humor. He wasn't just a co-worker, he was a friend, a good friend. I will miss hearing "My fun meter is pegged" at the end of the day. My deepest sympathy to you, his family, for your loss. Kevin is in my prayers and will never be forgotten.

My deepest sympathies to your family. Kevin was a great pleasure to work with and he will be missed tremendously. He possessed a wry sense of humor that, even under the most frustrating circumstances, helped lighten our burdens. Personally, I will miss our reminiscences of our Naval service and the laughter that the telling of our "sea stories" evoked. Kevin, God Bless you always and until we meet on that further shore I wish you Fair Winds and Following Seas.

I worked with Kevin at the NWS office in Eureka, CA. I know we will all really miss having Kevin here in the office, not only because of his strong work ethic and great knowledge of IT stuff, but because of his friendliness and sense of humor. He was always ready to help with our various problems, and frequently worked late into the evening. I used to joke with him about going home early when he finally took off at 7:30 PM. He would always say, "that's enough fun for one day!" Kevin was truly dedicated to his job, and we will feel his loss here for a long time. My deepest sympathy goes out to you, his family, for the great loss you have sustained.
Rest in peace, Kevin.

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family in the lost of your son. Kevin was our ITO here at the office. He worked a lot of long hours, and helped out the electronics staff. Even when things got hectic, he could always crack a joke. He was always in a good mood, and a pleasure to work with. Kevin could make some fine beer also. He will be greatly missed here at the office.
