As we say goodbye to Kevin, we look back to see that he always took time to greet people. He had patience, and no one was a stranger in his presence.

One always felt good with him. There were good conversation and laughter. He had that kindred soul.

We often laughed about marrying into the family. As we called ourselves Outlaws, we knew we had love and understanding with our in-laws and family.

GOD saw the roads Kevin traveled were getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So HE gently closed Kevin's eyes and whispered "Peace Be Thine." Kevin was on loan to us. Now he can rest.

We thank Kevin for all the friendship and love he gave to us. Thank you Kevin.

Kevin had so many admirable qualities: a sharp wit, inquisitive, thirst for knowledge, intelligent, thoughtful, great cook, and never afraid to speak his mind and just tell it like it is. I will really miss the fun times and our inside jokes that we shared (e.g., "both kinds... country AND western"). I couldn't have asked for a better brother-in-law. May you rest in peace, K.P.

in honor of Kevin.

I always admired my big brother. He was a genius, he was funny, he was neat, he gave good brotherly advice. And I am so grateful to be one of his little sisters. I remember, back in the late 70's early 80's. he had gotten a black Firebird, with the bird on the hood. I believe that it had a T-top, we lived in a place called Gale place in Seattle, Wa. He drove over to that place and gave us rides up and down the parking lot. We wanted to sit on the hood, stand up, with our heads hanging out of the T-top, just laughing, giggling and being silly little sisters. It was a really cool time, that was one of the fondest memories, as a preteen, that I have concerning my brother Kevin

My Uncle Kevin was one of the smartest people I knew, but humble enough to know that there was always more to learn. He shared his knowledge with others, and had such a kind a patient way of doing that.

I’m looking forward to seeing my Uncle again, and take comfort in the hope of the resurrection. I hope that Aunt LaTanya, Anthony, Khaya, family, and friends will also be comforted in the days ahead, as you all remember the good times, and the hope we have of seeing him again.

Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out…

Kevin was a real sweetheart. Although I would only see him every other year at the family reunions, he always made my family and I from California feel comfortable and welcomed. He had a great sense of humor and I will miss his witty personality at the reunion table. A smile comes to my face when I think of how he always made us laugh. I also enjoyed his pride in being an excellent baker, being fortunate enough to partake in some of his delicious desserts. We will also miss him dearly but know he is in a much better place, free of pain and suffering.

I cannot share just share one memory about Kevin because Kevin made every moment spent with him a memory. I loved every moment I spent with him. He was just a wonderful person who was full life and a great sense of humor. He was more than just a friend, but family and a mentor. - Jordan Hainsworth
