I just recently was told that Kevin passed away. I am his sister and though we did not grow up together we did get to occasionally visit at our grandparents home. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I am sorry that I didn’t know how to contact you prior to today.
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND PASSING AWAY. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATED HIM MOWING MINE AND YOUR LAWN BETWEEN US TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE ONE LAWN.

Farewell to a dear and treasured family friend….one who marched to his own drum and stayed true to himself.
You were one of a kind, Kevin, and will be missed. My love goes out to you, Jackie.

My love and deepest sympahy to you Jackie in your loss. Stay strong dear friend.
Kevin and Jackie lived down the road from us for 10 years-or so, and when we’d see Kevin, he was always in good humor and had interesting things to talk about. He’d have a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face. We have some of his beautiful and unique rock art, and do treasure it. They moved recently, and when I’d go by the turnoff to there new residence, I’d say, ‘I should drop by and say Hi.’ Well, I didn’t do it. Kevin will really be missed by us. Chuck and Edie
