Wendy, Pam, Denny, and Johnny, I have so many wonderful memories of Kevin as a baby, toddler, and as he grew into an adult. He was a kind friend to all, and the spittin image of his dad. He always made me laugh, I will miss him but, never forget him. I know he is with your parents, Cheri, Eric and others kicking back and catching up. I love all of you very much.

I am so deeply sorry to hear about Kevins passing. We fell out of touch over the years as people do when kids grow older but every time we would bump into each other we welcomed each other with bright smiles and open arms. I ran into Wendy and Kevin last year at Farmers Market and we said we needed to get together. This is a prime example as to why people actually need to do those things. Im so very sorry for Wendy and the kids. Such a huge huge loss. I know he will be missed dearly.
