Our son, Greg, was best of friends with Kevin in Bethel, CT.  We are so very sad at this news and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. - Don and Susan Hebert.

For those of us who had the distinct privilege to work along side Kevin were truly blessed, and we will miss his presence.   I cannot begin to understand the pain that you are feeling right now, but as a colleague of Kevin's the news of his passing touch so many people in a way that I've never seen in my 15 years at this company – people aired a profound loss and void.  ??Kevin's humbleness,  maturity, thoughtfulness and compassion added to a culture at work that drew us to this strange and intriguing company – his presence made coming to work like a second home.   It's people like Kevin that enabled us to perceive that this company (of people) has a conscience and caring feeling about it.??  Everyone who worked with Kevin expressed the same reaction to his passing... Kevin was revered and beloved, and he touched all of our lives in such a positive and wonderful way.    You have our deepest sympathy. - Erik B

Don and Debbe (Andrews)

John and Barbara,  I'm so very sorry for you and all the Currans.  What a terrible loss.  I hope wonderful memories will bring you all some peace.

I still cannot process that Kevin is no longer with us.  I find I have to correct myself when I look for him at work to pick his brain.  We always respected Kevin for his professionalism and work ethic.  This has been very difficult for his IBM family, my thoughts and prayers go out to the Curran family.

I am so sorry Ashley.  I am praying for you and your children and sending comforting energy your way.

Ashley - I'm Ryan Fenton's sister and just heard the tragic news....you and your children are in my thoughts and prayers.  Kevin came to hear our band on several occasions and always had a smile on his face....my deepest sympathies.

Ashley, my thoughts and prayers have been with you continually.  I honor you and your family, as well as your strength and wish you comfort at this time.

Ashley and family.....we were all heartbroken upon hearing the news of your loss.  We send our love and many prayers your way.

Mary and Tom Rogers (Maggie's parents)

Ashley, I was so sorry to hear of your loss.  You and your precious children are in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Kevin for several years and he was an amazing person.  His memorial service was a true tribute to how many people's lives he touched. He was a dedicated leader and wonderful friend that I am honored to have had the opportunity to know.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this difficult time.

Kevin always had a smile on his face, a child on his arm and a friend at his side. He is loved by so many and will forever be missed. Our memories will never be forgotten. We love you Ashley, Caroline and Jack~

You are incredibly missed and Ashley and and your kids as well as Bryan and everyone in your family is in our thoughts and prayers.  -The Roe family

I will miss seeing you everywhere in the neighborhood, Kevin.  We will help you look out for your sweet family.

Ashley, I have such fond memories of our ice skating days together many, many years ago. I was absolutely heartbroken to hear of your loss.   Please know that I am thinking of you, your children and your extended family and that I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.  May God Bless you and your children with comfort and love, during this time, and always!

Ashley and I did our yoga teacher training together in Denver, CO 8 years ago, and to this day, I don't think I have had the pleasure of meeting someone with a bigger, more genuine smile. My heart breaks for Ashley and her adorable children and I pray that the kindness and healing she has given others through her teaching will come back to her, giving her strength, courage, and peace.

Ashley:  The one time I met Kevin I was struck by what a supportive and engaged husband and father he was.  My heart aches for your loss.  You and family are held in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't remember a visit to see my amazing Colorado family without Kevin being there - him & Ashley were the ones taking me out for ice cream & movies when I was little. For me he was always one of my cousins & I'm going to miss him terribly.

Thinking of Ashley and your beautiful children today.  You had an incredible love for one another and are so lucky to have found each other so young.  May your family find comfort and peace in the coming days and months.  May your spirit live on forever.  Sending love to all, Lindsay DeLand Hansen (Scottsdale, Ariz.)

Much love to our son in law, Kevin.  He set an exemplary standard in character for his children to follow. Terri and John Douglas

We could not have had a better son in law. We love you Kevin.  Terri and John Douglas

I have known Kevin for 14 years and he was my first Team Lead at IBM.  He was a great leader, co-worker, and friend.  We've kept in touch throughout the years and now I feel very honored to have known him.  I will truly miss him and I send my love to Ashley and the kids.  Words cannot express what I feel for his family and his loved ones.

Your children reflect both of your sweet spirits and smiles.  Hard to express the loss you all must feel, but know you are better because you loved and have been loved.  May God bless you in this time with only the comfort that he can give.

I've known Kevin since he was 12. I've watched him grow into the fine man that he had become; a loving husband, father, and friend to so many. I'll always be appreciative of the many conversations and beers that we shared during our highschool, college and fraternity days, and beyond. You'll be missed my friend! My deepest condolences to his family.

Precious Curran family.  We are overwhelmed with love for you, from the love you have given to so many.

Thinking of you and your family Ashley, sincere condolences from all of us at Heritage Health.

I had the pleasure of being Kevin's manager at IBM for the past seven years. He was a pleasure to manage and work with and I'll always remember how professional he was, always trying to learn and grow his skills and do the very best he could for his customers. He was genuinely appreciated by all who worked with him. We will miss him terribly and my heart goes out to his family on this sad occasion.  Just know that Kevin and his family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss, Ashley. Whatever I can do, please let me know. Kevin will live forever in the hearts of those who love him.

Ashley and family, I am so very sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you during this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathy to you all and thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.

Ashley and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Kevin will be missed by so many, just looking at the kind words that have been shared. We are sending love and support and all that is healing your way. Love, The Kroners

Ashley, 
My heart goes out to you and your family and Kevin's family.  There is always so much love, laughter and warmth in all the photos I have seen of your family and I know that you will continue to feel Kevin's love during this dark time.  May you all be blessed.  Namaste, Nova

I am so sorry for your loss...you now have an additional guardian angel watching over you.

I remember Kevin from several projects at IBM...he was always a pleasure to work with and he will be sorely missed.  My deepest condolences to the Curran family.

Ashley, my thoughts are with you and your family. Namaste.

Dear Ashley,

My heart goes out to you and your children.  I can see so much love and laughter from the photos of you and your family.  I am so sorry for your loss.

I have been honored to know Kevin for the past 18 years and have realized how special of a man he truly is.  I was fortunate to be able to spend time with him 2 weeks ago and had many other memorable moments as well.  I'm was truly blessed to have an individual like Kevin as a friend.  Ashley, my heart goes out to you and the children.  He will be missed more than words can explain.  My love, Colby Hartman

Dear Ashley,
My deepest sympathy to you and your children.

 Ashley, there are no words to say, except, I'm sorry.  
Just know that you have many friends that are here to help  you through the days ahead.  Holding on to all your memories puts a little ease to these difficult days.
Bless you,

We knew Kevin as a little boy in Connecticut. When he played soccer, he ran like the wind. We are so sorry for your loss and know he must have been a fine man.

Having worked at IBM 30+ years, there are those individuals that stand out. Kevin was one of them. I was always amazed how seamlessly he resolved problems or issues. He was the calm amongst the storm and I was always grateful when fortune found my way to be assigned to one of his projects. Kevin made everyone's job easier. His influence at IBM will be missed but it will never compare to his influence as a parent, family member, and all around "good guy".  Rest in peace Kevin.

We will miss you always Kevin. You were such a wonderful man, things won't be the same without you.  Ashley and Family there are no words to describe how sorry we are for your loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin for the past eight years at IBM. Truly an outstanding guy, always upbeat, always on top of every detail. My condolences to Kevin's family. Kevin will be truly missed.

Kevin – you were the man we all want to be.  Great husband, father, son and brother, loyal and trusted friend, funny and fun, smart and successful, always willing to help, never wasting a day.  Everyone that knew you was better for it.  Eventually the pain so many are feeling now will lessen and you will be missed and remembered with nothing but laughs, smiles, and fond memories.  My sincerest condolences to your family and many great friends.  Rest in peace.

I worked with Kevin. He was excellent manager. He was very dedicated. I chatted with Kevin last week. he answered all my questions even though he was on vacation.
I was amazed he was so organized and follows the process for a quality output and always delivered the projects with high quality.
We will miss Kevin very much. I will remember Kevin for all his excellent work and great leadership. I will keep Kevin and his family in my prayer during this difficult time.

~Naresh Nagboth, Fremont,CA

I also worked with Kevin for many years. He was a very strong project manager, a real asset to the team and will be greatly missed. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I too had the privilege to work with Kevin for years.  His character and work ethic were outstanding.  To Kevin's family, I am very sorry for your loss.

Kevin has been my Assistant Soccer Coach for the past 3 years, 6 total seasons.  He always brought high energy and a positive atmosphere to every practice and game.  He was always there, anxious to help out, and make soccer a great experience for everyone involved.  We are very fortunate that he shared his fantastic family and bright life with us for so many years, he will be dearly missed.  His legacy is carried on within all the soccer families he inspired and the wonderful family and friends left behind.

I have been Kevin's Project Manager Team Lead at IBM for the past 10+ years and worked very closely with him on his projects. Kevin was an outstanding professional managing many key projects for IBM. He was extremely successful in all his projects and very well liked and respected by his project teams and his peers.  To say he will be missed is a huge understatement.  More than that, Kevin was a friend to me and others and I will miss that too.  He often talked about his family and kids and my heart goes out to all of them.  Rest in peace Kevin.

Kevin was one of the best IBMers I've ever known.  He and I became friends over the 7 years we worked together on projects.  My heart is broken and I will miss Kevin very much.  God be with you and your family during this very difficult time.

I worked with Kevin. The last email I received from him, a week ago today, was classic Kevin - to the point, concise, professional, and clear. I remember his commitment to excellence, doing the right thing, being a consummate team player, delivering the best possible result. There were many times that I went directly to Kevin for his input and advice in solving problems, and he always did his best to help. Kevin was, quite simply, a great guy to work with.

I will remember Kevin, appreciating the good things he did which made us successful in our IBM projects, and saddened that he has left us all too soon.

What a great guy Kevin was. I grieve for him, his family and friends.
