I'm so shocked and saddened by the news of Kevin's passing. Lots of good memories from the old days! Running around in Huntington! Bachelor Bait and Inferno! Going to all the concerts at the Fieldhouse! Getting primed for the concerts at Gino's Pub! He moved to Lexington the next year after graduating, and we rarely saw each other after that. We reconnected a couple of years ago and have been keeping in tough regularly on Facebook and text. I was looking forward to seeing him again soon. I'm really going to miss his posts. Especially his Tennessee posts! Rest easy my Brother. I'll be seeing you later in Heaven! 😢

I had an English class with Kevin our Senior year (Mr. Haney). I sat between him and Mike Kelley. Not sure how much we learned, but we laughed our tails off.
Really good guy. I wish he had come to some of our reunions, so we could have caught up on how life has gone for us.
I"ll miss him.
Buckle.

Kevin was friendly with everyone. That guy had a great sense of humor and few and far between had no ego. A truly great guy and a friend to all. Although I have not seen him through the years I will always have fond memories of him. So sad to hear of his passing. I too had him in a few classes and do remember the good times in Mr. Haney's class. Mr. Haney was a very good man as well. I visit him at the cemetery when I go to see my family. He is right next door and what an honor to have him near. So long Kevin, I hope you are in a better place!

Prayers for Kevin's family and friends. I remember Kevin as a friendly guy with a great sense of humor. I had a few classes with him and he could always make you laugh! God bless your family during this time of loss. Rest in peace my friend.

Kevin was one of those guys who made the world better for everyone around him just by being himself and being there.
