I met kev in elementary school and was best friends with him ever since. I could tell him anything and he was always there when ever I needed him. I took his advice no matter what. I love him so much and words can't describe how much I'll miss him. You truly were a stand up guy and a great person kev. I'll miss you forever!

Kevin was one of the best guys to ever come out of Norwood. He was truly one of a kind and I feel privileged to have known him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Morrison family, I cannot imagine your loss. Rest in Peace kmo <3 I'll never forget you.

August 27, 2011

I didn't know Kevin personally, but I did graduate with him. We were in very different social circles. Most athletes gave kids like me a hard time. But not Kevin. And that's the first thing I thought of when I found out he was ill. He was kind when others weren't. That might seem like a little thing, but it was a big deal to me. This is what made him really stand out. My deepest condolences to the Morrison family. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
