Dear Kathy, I'm just returning from being out of the country and was shocked when my sister Chris informed me about Kevin. I will never forget his sister's routine. I can still see the big smile on his face. He was the absolute best. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Kathy,  We are so sorry and were so shocked to hear of Kevin's passing.  It just seems like yesterday when we lived back in MD and worked at McCormick together.  We have so many fond memories of our time back there and especially times with you and Kevin.  Kevin was a very special person and will always be remembered by everyone that he touched during his life.  We pray God will get you through this difficult time.

Jeff & Debbie Hansen

Kathy,
It's been literally half a lifetime that since I've seen Kevin and most of a lifetime since Kevin and Sean came over with Barry and Brent Boone to meet the new kids on the block. You see Kevin and Sean saw the opportunity that three of the four Takesians would offer to indulge their greatest passion: baseball! The years that followed gave us many a summer day hitting tennis balls out of the yard and running bases until there was a meltdown due to a bad call or we were called home for dinner.  Kevin was a truly kind and funny guy even at 12! As we went on about our lives it seems that he stayed very true to who he was then: a guy who knew how to be a friend and a great neighbor.  I am so sorry not to have seen him in the past few years.  My deepest sympathies go out to you and the boys and to Miss Doris, Michael, Sean and Kelly, and all the family; my thoughts are with you during this sad time. As you share your memories of Kevin with friends and family I have no doubt that he will there with you be just on the other side of life's wall, smiling and laughing as always, and crying just a little, along with you. May you find peace in having had the wonderful fortune to have him in your world.

Dear Kathy, Chris and Colin - We are sorry to only hear about Kevin's passing today. Al & I are deeply saddened and extremely shocked. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care and let your many friends be there for you.
The Volski Family

Dear Kathy - I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I was stunned when I was with Dorsey and Maureen Saturday evening when they relayed the news. Fortunately, after many months not being in touch, we spoke four weeks ago about getting together this summer and shared a laugh. He was special and was definitely the highlight of my McCormick working so closely with him for two years in HV. My sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of a wonderful friend, husband and farther.

Dear Kathy,  I am so sorry to hear about your loss. God will comfort you and your family during this difficult time.  Doreen Dudley

Kathy,
I'm so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing.
What a flood of memories from the old McCormick days!  May you be refreshed by your many memories and by your wonderful family.
Sincerely,
Gail Conrad Kretchman

Kathy and family - Kevin was such a bright light at McCormick. He always had a smile and a hello for me whenever I saw him, and always made me laugh. My fondest memories are of him and Stevie G doing the live auction for C-Day. They were so hilarious that I would be practically in tears. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your whole family during this terribly difficult time.

Kathy, It's been over 6 years since I worked with you and Kevin at McCormick but it feels like yesterday. I was deeply saddened when I saw the news on Kevin's passing. He was such a bright light and kind person. I hope those many positive memories carry you during this tough time. You and your family are in my thoughts  prayers.

Dear Kathy and family,
We are shocked and saddened by Kevin's passing.  Kevin was a great cousin to us. He was always the funny one just like his dad.  We have many fond memories of growing up with him. He touched so many lives because he was passionate about everything he did in life, whether it was his pride of family, or his love of sports. We hope your wonderful memories of Kevin will help sustain you during this difficult time.  Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.  Heaven received an angel and I'm sure he is up there with Coach watching over all of you.  I will leave you with this Irish blessing:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.   RIP Kevin

Dear Keelan Family - 
We are so sorry for your loss. Kevin brought out the best in people, especially their smiles.  We miss him so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. 
God Bless -

Kathy and family:  I was shocked to hear of Kevin's passing.  May the memories of his laugh and sense of humor carry you through this difficult time.  My best,

Dave Jordan

Kathy, I am very sorry to learn of Kevin's passing.   The pictures display the love you held for each other and the immense love you shared with your family and friends.  Kevin was way too young and had way too much life yet to experience with you, the boys and their families.  My deepest sympathies go out to you.

Keelan Family,
My heart is heavy to find out about the passing of Kevin.  He taught me everything I know on CRM.  We had some great conversations on the phone and I never laughed as much as when talking to Kevin.  I will truly miss him.  I pray God's strength will hold you up during this difficult time.  Heaven gained a great man this past week.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Keelan Family,
My son, Rudy Moss, went to MSJ with Kevin.  He is in Heaven and I am sure Rudy and Kevin will be sharing many memories of MSJ.
My heart is sad, and I am sure we now have our very own Angels to watch over us. Rest in peace Kevin.
Joann Moss Reed

Kathy & family, Its impossible to find the right words to express my sincere condolences.  I have been blessed to work with you and Kevin 31 years.  Kevin was a light that always shined, especially when he talked of you, the boys and Camden.  His McCormick dedication was something hard to match.  You and your family are in my prayers today and days to come.  HUGS!

Hi Kathy,
Jim and I were shocked to hear about Kevin sudden passing.  It has just been only a few weeks ago when we shared our memories of the old McCormick.  Although Jim has only met you and Kevin in the last year, even he was affected by the news!  Sales people, even with different products have their own brand of brotherhood!
His warmth and friendship towards everyone he came into contact with will be greatly missed!
Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers for you and your family.  Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

To Kathy and the family , Words cannot express what you must be going through , thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time

To the Keelan Family, I am so sorry to hear of this. I went to MSJ with Kevin. What a GREAT GUY. Whenever I'd see him around town his greeting me with his great warmth melted away the years. Kevin is in my thoughts and prayers. Your loss is profound and I will be praying for all of you as well.

Scott Miller, Ellicott City MSJ 72

Kathy, I'm so sorry for your lost.  I was so heart broken when I heard about Kevin.
I've know Kevin for more than 25 years, what a wonderful person.  Kevin always had a big smile and a big hug for me when he was me.  Kevin always made my day when I saw him.  I will miss him terribly.  I will pray for you and your entire family that God wraps his lovely arms around you and comfort you.  Call on the name of the Lord he's there for you. 
Your friend Joann Booker

Dear Kathy and family,
Even though I never had the chance to meet Kevin, working with him for past few years has been an absolute joy and my honor. Kevin always had a way of putting a smile on my face when I would speak with him and he was always willing to lend a helping hand- we had many laughs over the past couple of years and sometimes that was my saving grace. The world has lost an incredible individual and God has gained an angel. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family for strength, healing and peace during this difficult time. - Acosta Sales & Marketing- New Orleans office

From his business associates in Buffalo, NY our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Kevin was a wonderful guy to deal with on the McCormick Business. Always cheerful and funny. He will be sorely missed.

Steve, Mary and Norm

As I sit here and read through all these touching messages, there isn't much more to say.I spent countless hours with Kevin, my "work husband" and grew to love everything about him. He loved his family so much and was so proud of his boys. I loved seeing his face light up when he spoke about Camden. I truly looked forward to going to work because of him. My deepest condolences go out to you Kathy and your family through this truly difficult time.

Kathy, we are shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Kevin's untimely passing. He was indeed a very special person, always ready with a laugh and a story.

Your wonderful memories of Kevin will help you all through this difficult time. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Kathy,

I was truly saddened by Kevin's untimely passing. You and he made quite a McCormick team and, over the years, have earned the respect of literally hundreds of co-workers. I'm grateful to have known you both.

Please accept my condolences and know that Kevin is in God's arms and still watches over you. May  God bless you and your family.

Prayers to the Keelan family. Big hug to Kathy. So sorry for your loss. Grateful to have worked with Kevin for 20 years.  He had a way of making everyone in his presence feel like family ( and like family we all received fond nicknames ) as well as bring laughter to every conversation. 
Admired his loyalty to his family , friends , sports teams and work. God Bless.

Dear Keelan family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear the passing of Kevin.  I never had the opportunity to meet him. He was always friendly and helpful on the phone when i had trouble with McCormicks system. my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Dear Kathy and Family,
So very sorry to hear of your loss.  May you find comfort in the knowledge that so many people have you and your family in their thoughts and prayer.  Stay strong.

Chris,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Kathy & family,
I'm so sad  for your loss.  Kevin told me you always were his rock Kathy.  I loved working with him.  Your in my prayers  and heaven just received  an  angel.

Dear Kathy and family,

I am just stunned beyond belief that I will never be able to see or speak to Kevin again. To hear him laugh about something Stevie did recently, to listen to him rant about injustices, to see the pride beaming out of him about Colin and Chris. To see that pout when you'd leave him alone or the tears well up about Camden.  

I am saddened, angry and heartbroken.  I cannot imagine how you must feel.  Please know you all are in my prayers and if you need anything.  Anything at all, I would be honored to help out.  It is what Kevin would have done.  He was a rare person indeed.  His mother should be proud she raised such a wonderful, caring man.  

He touched us all.

God bless,

Meg Furio

My thoughts and prayers to the Keelan family.  I was shocked to see the obituary today.  So many memories of a young man that was so special to me.  He was so blessed with such a wonderful family.  I am so glad to see his life was such a full and happy one.  God bless and God speed Kevin.

Dear Kathy,

I am so sorry for your loss.  His incredible spirit, devotion to you and the boys, and his impact to so many McC folks was extraordinary.  

The one memory of Kevin that stands in my mind is his remembrance of his dad.  I recall traveling with Kevin several years ago for a broker CRM training, and in the Tampa airport TSA line, he started tearing up talking about his dad (Coach, if I recall?).  Today, I envision Kevin and Coach united in Heaven, arms around each other, catching up on all the amazing things his son has done in his time here.

God bless you and your family.

Joanne

Kathy and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. He truly was a one of a kind guy, that could light up any room he walked into-you couldn't help but to smile when Kevin was around. There wasn't a time that he got on the elevator at McCormick that he wouldn't pull out his phone and show me pictures of your adorable granddaughter. He will be missed by so many, as he had touched more people's lives than I'm sure he ever realized. My prayers for comfort and strength during this difficult time are with you all and I hope you find peace in your beautiful, loving memories.
