Kevin my brother my friend. I am blessed to have so many memories of countless hours in the studio, and having our vocal run contest...could never beat you with that impeccable voice of yours. I have learned so much from you and I promise I will never forget all that you have taught me as an artist and a person. You stood up for me at one of the most important times of my life and for that I will forever be grateful. I will miss you but God has you. Praying for your family and friends. Love you Kirv.

I will miss his friendship, he treated me like family, like a little brother. He was an integral part that made my career possible; even the path he lead I followed from beginning. From Chicago, to California, I looked up to him as a leader in the business. He is missed by all who was Blessed! to know him; we are better because a part of him lives on with us. Miss and Love you "KIRV!" Your life, your voice and memory will continue to be an inspiration to me. Rest In Peace, God Bless You! My deepest sympathy to family and friends.
