My sympathy goes out to Kevin's Family, and friends. I knew him in JR. High and he was a great friend, and basketball player. I always have fond memories of him.9

I am so sorry to hear about Kevin's passing.

"After They Are Gone"
When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.
Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.
Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go through this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.
