Kevin was a great guy, truly liked by so many. I was really sad to learn that he had passed, even though it’s been 20+ years since high school. My heart goes out to JoAnn & Jennifer, and to all his family & friends who loved him so dearly. Rest In Peace Kevin.

I only knew Kevin for a short time however in that time I learned that he was dedicated to his family and to his career with the ATF. He will be missed by many who had a very special bond with him. My prayers and thoughts are with his family for strength to travel this path.

Crazy we grew up around the corner from one another, and ended a few blocks from one another, and I didn't even know you lived here. That laugh could make anyone smile. You will be missed. It was an honor being part of your childhood. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I knew Kevin for a brief time. We worked side by side on the biggest case of both our careers! During that time we rode our Harley’s together and spoke everyday back then. I was happy for him when he left Chicago for St. Louis! This is truly a loss for the good guys!

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin on the job and were instantly friends as well as co-workers. I talked to him every so often and when I was recently in KCMO for work we talked about getting together but unfortunately did not. He was the most stand up person I know and will be greatly missed. He embodied what we all strive to be and I was lucky enough to call him friend.

Kevin was my brother, lacking only shared genetic DNA. As godfather to my kids, his death will be forever felt. I know I will see him again, but the time apart won't sever my love for him. He will always be with us, and he will always be my brother. Until that joyful day my friend...we will hold the line.

Special Agent C. Thomas and family.

Kevin and I met at college in the summer of ‘96. We instantly became terrific friends. From spring break together. To becoming roommates in Chicago. Countless nights drinking beers with deep philosophical conversations. I can’t count the endless stories we created together. He was my brother. I loved him. I will forever miss him.

I only knew Kevin for a short time but in that short time, he became a very good friend. He was always there in support of others in need and really, truly cared about his brothers and sisters at ATF. We had some long talks, lots of laughs, and shed a few tears, he will always be in my heart, I will miss him greatly.
