I remember Kevin as the "jock". He was handsome and friendly. His personality and his atheltic ability was wonderful. This makes me so sad that our world no longer has his talent and his smile, but he is in God's hands. My best to his family. Now whenever I look up, I will think of Kevin.Paula Gross (Lamm) (1974)
I was saddened to read of the lost of Kevin. I remember him as someone who always took the time to speak to you when he met you in the hall. I remember seeing his #12 most of all on the football field. Every time I see #12 on a jersey I will be reminded of him and what a great loss for all of those who knew and loved him. Bless his family and let them rejoice in knowing that Kevin is looking down on them everyday.Rose "Chas" Jones (Carr) (1972)
Kevin was always friendly and gave our football team all he had. I was always happy to see him in the hallways. Our school was blessed to have him and now God is blessed to have him. We miss you Kevin. Chas Jones CarrFrank Dean (1974)
Kevin came across my mind a few weeks ago while reminiscing about the old days. As an upper classman and starter, he took time to personally help and encourage me when trying out for the football team. He did have the heart of a Lion. Rest in God's peace and my (belated) condolences to your family.
