Dear Debbie, Timothy, Keri and family and friends of Kevin,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Kevin. I pray that you are able to find peace and powerful healing from your loss, and comfort in knowing that Kevin loved his life, family and friends so dearly. I loved knowing Kevin and experiencing his great joy of life, and to me he always showed by example how to live a good life.
Kevin was a man that I was proud to call my friend, and I, like his many friends, loved him because of the wonderful and enthusiastic person he was. Although we were out of touch lately, ever since high school I always knew that he was a true friend of mine. He was fun, generous, an amazing friend, and family man, and one of the best people I have ever known. I am grateful that our life paths crossed and I was blessed to know him.
I try in times like this to remember earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. I send prayers for your comfort, healing and strength. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
Randy and I were deeply saddened to hear about Kevin’s passing. We never met him but are friends with his brother Vince and heard from a mutual friend. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do, please don’t hesitate to call.
Kevin was as unselfish as they come. He treated my son, Erich, as his own. He was a great friend and mentor to him. He always thought of others. He will be deeply missed.
