It was a pleasure to know Kevin (even for a short time), great smile, warm heart and large enthusiasm, very positive and kind man! May God’s peace and love surround and hold you Jennifer and family at this time.
We enjoyed working with Kevin in the Scouting program. He had an easy smile and energy to play and work. We send prayers of comfort and peace through the missing of Kevin for his family.
I got to know Kevin as a co-worker at Medspeed. He was well-liked by all there and he was a terrific worker. His absence has left a void at work. Things always ran smoother when Kevin was there. He seemed to be a good father and a man of God, too. I miss him and will keep his family in my prayers.
