Words do not do justice to the sadness I feel about OUR loss. His humor was even quicker than his jab, and his heart was pure gold. Thank you KFC for years of comic relief in a stressful place, and for being one of the few good guys. God bless you Brandi, Keelee, Gigi, Sam, and Joey.
Much Love always,

There are no words to describe the devastation I feel at the loss Kevin. He was so full of life and love. He was always able to make me feel better no matter what the situation was. I looked back and past emails we have sent each other and it makes me miss him even more. Every minute that goes by I miss him more and more. I remember in particular. one day I called crying and upset and he booked a ticket to come see me the next day. I will always love him and he will always hold a very special place in my heart.
