Our deepest, most heartfelt prayers are with Kevin's family during this difficult time. We can't help but feel a deep sadness over our loss on Earth, but also rejoice knowing that Kevin's death has healed(through organ donation) so many others. His example in life is an inspiration to those who were blessed to have known him.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1

Kevin's at-the-ready Bible lesson is the verse I cling to for understanding. His work here is done and he joins the heavenly choir for the endless chorus of hallelujahs. May God bless you with His Peace.

Sue:

RoAnn and I were very sad to hear about this. I only wish we had gotten to know each other sooner. I will never forget how fun and humerous our Valentine's Party was at Oscar's and how Kevin gave the girls costume jewelry.

You are in our prayers.

Sue, Dan, and Laura,

Kevin was a true friend who rejoiced with others in their joy and supported those in distress. He knew Christ and reflected God's love for man through his actions. I know he has entered into his eternal glory with the words: "Well done, oh good and faithful servant" His clanging anvil will forever be missed at Living Christmas Stories to come.

Our Sympathies,

Jim, Valerie, Jillian and Taylor Hare

I only met Kevin twice. He was a very sweet man and liked to make people laugh. From what I understand he was there for anyone in need. That takes a very special person to care for others needs, no matter what they might be.
I am very sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you in the days to come.

Kevin will be greatly missed by me and my family. He was someone you could always count on when no one else was there. He always had a joke to tell to make you laugh when you wanted to cry. He always said his rewards would be greater in heaven than here on earth. He also loved his family and God with all of his heart. He was a very special person.Sue our prayers are with you, Dan and Laura.

Kevin will be greatly missed. He had the greatest sense of humor and he could always lift you up when you were down. No hill was to big for him to climb. He was a big part of our family. We loved him. I thank God for all the times we had to spend with him and for letting him be a part of our lives. Our prayers are with you and your family. Steve and family

Sue,

We are shocked and saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. Kevin always had a smile and a firm handshake for us at Bethany. We got to know Kevin better when he roofed our home in 2003; he was a very disciplined and fair businessman.

You are in our prayers,
