I cannot believe it has been a year since you left us to become a guardian angel, my friend. I deeply miss our conversations and the laughter we got to share as adults. You will always be a hero in my eyes!

I remember all the great times Kevin and I are together while attending Northern Illinois University. I especially remember he like me to watch hockey games with him. They never did like hockey still don't. But I did enjoy our times together.

Michael and family, I am thinking about and praying for all of you. Kevin's loss is shocking and sad, but at least he is no longer in pain. What a gift his sweet soul will be to Jesus! He had a kind and gentle heart, not a mean bone in his body. He is loved and will be missed. May the grace and warmth of Our Mother Mary's mantle gently wrap you and ease your sorrow.

So very sorry for your loss. May God wrap his loving arms around Kevin & may he be granted eternal rest now. My sympathies to all of you who are hurting right now.

Sad to see a teammate and friend from our glory days in Lisle has passed away. Apparently, I was 1 of many that were actively FB messaging with Kevin, and it was clear that he tried hard to stay in touch with as many of his friends as possible. RIP Kevin

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I connected with Kevin about a year ago. I did visit him in Elmurst. What a gentle giant. I will miss him and our chats on fb. Love, hugs, and prayers for the family.

Kevin will forever be a gift to each of us who were blessed to know him. His big heart, kind words, genuine concern for others, and hearty laugh will always leave an echo in our hearts... Knowing he is finally free of his physical body and with the Lord he loved so dearly is the only way I can find any peace in all of this. Sending all my heartfelt sympathy to his family, friends, schoolmates and classmates (of whom my late sister, Michelle, was one) who will always remember the joy he brought to each of us.
