Kevin was my cousin, but, not only my cousin, my double-cousin as I referred to it. My mom's sister (Kevin's mom) was married to my dad's brother (Kevin's dad). Our family has a very special bond and though growing up we were separated by distance (Kevin's family in MN and mine in Maryland, there was this unspoken bond of love and support that exists today. I have fond memories of visiting Kevin's family in Minnesota as a child and seeing Kevin, Cheryl and the kids when they visited in Florida. My heart is heavy and I will miss him terribly, but, I know that Kevin was a man of faith and that through that faith, we will meet again. Cheryl, Sean, Megan and the entire Claugherty family, may our Heavenly Father surround you with his love and peace to His eternal promise. Love, Katie, Don, Connor and Delaney

One of the first times we met the Claugherty's when our sons were up at Scholastica, Kev asked if I had any siblings. I told him I had one sister no brothers. He flashed that great smile and said well I'll be your brother. And from that moment on he never called me by my name, he always called me brother. I was one lucky brother. Cheryl, Sean, and Megan, may your wonderful memories of this great man give you peace and comfort.

Being Kevin's mother's friend for over 50 years I remember Kevin as
an adorable little boy along with his brothers and sister as they grew
up. I am so sorry that his family couldn't enjoy him for a longer time,especially his wife and children. Our sympathy to each and every
one ! Jackie & Fred Eshleman

He was a super nice guy. I remember him always smiling. This is so sad and I know that everyone who has met him thought nothing but great things about him and will never forget such a nice and caring man. I feel so bad for his family and all of us claugherty's. There isn't a way to say all the great things about him. That is for sure.
