Love and sympathy to Kevin's family!

What a wonderful blessing to have known Kevin. He had a quiet nature. He was so intelligent and when he spoke, he spoke volumes. He was also an excellent listener, very caring person, honest and trustworthy. He enjoyed music & reading, which he shared with the people he knew. From the time I met Kevin to now, he grew so much as a person.

Kevin, you made it! Wish your graduation hadn’t come so soon. Know for a fact that your classmates are missing you. Keep an eye on us & help us to earn straight A’s like you did.

Rest peacefully.
With prayers for your family and love to you,
