What can I say. Kevin was so much fun to hang out with and to talk to. He was always in great spirits and was definately the life of the party. I'm truly going to miss him. It's probably been 2-3 years since I last saw him since moving to the Twin Cities, but would always ask about him. I only wish I had told him how thankful I was for his support when my father passed away. May God bless you Kevin. You will never be forgotten.

My heart goes out to the Nolan family.

No matter what time of day or night Kevin was always laughing and being silly. He loved having fun and loved watching others have fun too. He will truely be missed but never forgotten. Many people will agree when I say that there were so many more good times and laughs with Kevin there. That was Kevin. You couldn't help but laugh with him. My deepest sympathy to all that knew and loved Kevin. Be happy Kevin!

My condolences go out to the Nolan family and also to our large group of friends that now has a gaping hole in it where Kevin used to be.

Kevin was such a huge hearted person I don't think even he knew how many people truly loved him.

He always wanted to make people smile.

Kev,

Rest peacefully with your Mom and Magic. You will be greatly missed.

The angels will take care of you from here on out.

To Kevin's family and friends, I've known Kevin since we were about 5 years old. We had many laughs, and good times. Kevin took 8 stitches in the mouth for me. Took me out after with Steve after I broke my spine and 3 ribs and carried me to his car. And for that I would like to say thanks to Kevin once again. I hope we all remain in touch after this because Kevin would want it that way (especially you John). At this moment I cant think of anything more to say other than Kevin was my BEST friend and I'm so sorry for your loss. I know my life won't be the same without Kevin in it. He was my BIG Teddy Bear. My BIG COUNTRY. I loved him like a brother. Once again, my condolences. Love, Rich Coconato

I feel very fortunate and grateful to have shared so many good times with Kevin. Whether we were boating, going to festivals, going out to eat, or just hanging out, we always had fun and shared many laughs. Although it saddens me to have lost such a young, fun loving friend, I feel very lucky and honored to have shared so many great times with Kevin. I will truly miss him.



My deepest condolences to the Nolan family.

Karen;

I am so sorry to hear about Kevin. Everytime I stopped by the Johnsons he was outside. He would say hello. It just seemed like yesterday we were all at Parkview going to school.

Sincerly yours;

Dooer-Doon! No matter where we go, we will always hear your laughter, and your snore! Now there's no more pain and you are home. We will miss that way you painted our kitchen, and gave up. The way that Bronco 's seat you sold us was so well worn in....and broke down. The amount of appreciation we felt for letting us mold a new person out of one hair cut.

There will never be another Kevin, and we thank his family for giving us the chance to meet someone from your special life. We feel for your sorrow and hope you can find peace and hear his laughter.

Love and God Bless

I will always remember Kevin for those silly and happy times.Sharing music and his singing will always be alive with me and all his friends.

Kevin was and always will be one of my best friends. There was never a time that I couldn't call him to babble about nothing, or to work through one of life's several hurdles. I don't know if he ever realized how much I depended on him being there. I don't think I realized how much since it is times like these that I would pick up the phone to call him. I'll forever miss him, as will all his close friends and family. He touched everyones lives with his bright smile and his kind heart. I find solace knowing that he is no longer in harms way and he has been re-united with his Mom, for whom he loved and missed so much. I'll miss you Kevin.



My deepest condolences to Kevin's family. Kevin will always be with us in our hearts and memories.

Through all the years, Kevin was always the happiest no matter where he was or what he was doing. Always laughing or trying to make other laugh. He always made me smile when I saw him. He will truly be missed! My deepest sympathies to the Nolan Family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kevin was part of a close group of friends that shared many ups and downs together. He was kind, fun and someone who you'd just like to have around. Kevin will be greatly missed, but our memories will last forever. Remember Kevin in his yellow, polyester leisure suit on Halloween? Or keeping the house awake with his snoring up North? These are the things that will make us laugh when we think of him. We love you Kevin. Our deepest sympathy to the Nolan family, our prayers are with you always.

Kevin will always be remembered by his colorful comedy and laughter. His main goal at every gathering was to make everyone laugh until they were rolling on the ground. Unfortunately, his laughter was not enough to keep him with us longer. He will be missed but his memory and humor will never be forgotten! There was a section in the Reader's Digest, years ago, entitled "The Most Unforgettable Character" and for us, that will always be Kevin.

We all have such great memories of Kevin - all the concerts, fests, days spent hanging out laughing & goofing around...he was always so sweet, gentle & funny...None of us will ever forget all the good times we had!

My deepest sympathies to the Nolan family, you are all in my thoughts & prayers.

We were all blessed with Kevin's friendship, and we are all going to miss him dearly. He was one of our best friends and our lives will not be the same without him. No matter how well you knew him, he was a kind soul who opened his heart to all. We'll all miss his friendly smile, and the way he loved to joke around and have fun. I have lost a real close buddy who always would call me to see what was happening or to get my thoughts on how lousy the Bears were playing. When we watched Bears games together it was non-stop laughter, and he always made me cook him some snacks!!! In addition, I will miss watching movies with him as well as going to check one of our favorite bands. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wonderful family (and Magic too!!!), who loved him very much as we did.
