My thoughts and prayers are with Kevin's family and friends during this tough time. I had the honor of meeting Kevin at the races in Des Moines. Wished I could have gotten to know him more and kept in contact so maybe I could have gotten closer to that side of my family. Thank you Kevin for taking the time to talk to me and being so kind. RIP Uncle Kevin

I had the great honor of having a friendship with Kevin thru our daughters being best buds. Really glad I could see him at the wedding this past summer. We had plans to get his "other" daughter married soon. Wonderful man taken away much too soon. Love and prayers to his family.
