It is so true when they say God takes the good ones. Kenny and I will truly miss you. I don’t have any brothers or sisters. So whenever you said hi sis to me and I said hey bro, it meant so much to me. You were a good husband, good father and best brother n law anyone could ask for. Kenny and I will always be thinking of you. May God bless you. Love Barbara and Kenny

Kevin, sometimes live throws you curveballs and this is one of them. While we’ve met several times I never had the pleasure of being around you as often as I would have liked. That doesn’t mean I didn’t know you it means that I missed sharing a part of life with you that would’ve been awesome. What I have is a short but cherishable memory of you my friend. May the Lord have you in his hands.
