CS( December 26, 2021, 2:21 pm One of my favorite memories of Kevin is watching him take his bunnies on a walk in a stroller in our neighborhood. He was not only a kind man but also a very talented musician and I will always treasure the times I saw him perform. He will be missed. I offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

RK December 26, 2021, 3:47 pm Kevin, you will certainly be missed by myself and the rest of your band mates in Retro Rockits. I consider myself very blessed to have played with you one last time at our last gig, as it was surely fun, and even more importantly, your wife filmed it so we will always have something unique to remember you by. Thanks for the memory!

JG December 26, 2021, 10:40 pm Kevin was a one of a kind, joyful friend and bandmate to many local musicians. He was a great songwriter and music video producer too! Kevin's musical presence will be missed in our community, as a friend, guitarist and live music videographer. Kevin took several videos of my musical memories to help preserve those moments. Now his music & videos will keep his memory alive as those who knew him go on remembering him.

DaKH December 28, 2021, 11:41 am Robert and Phyllis, you have our deepest sympathy on the loss of your precious son. God bless you and your family as you grieve your sad loss. Lovingly, Dale and Karen
