Kevin, you were a good friend and great cousin to my wife Jennifer.  We both shared and cherished our time as members of the United States Naval and Marine Corp Team.  

I have so many wonderful and fun memories of spending time with you, Keith and Shirley during the football season and celebrating Independence Day.  These memories will live forever.  

During his presidency, Ronald Reagan was quoted as saying, “Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in this world.  A veteran does not have that problem.” 

Fair Winds and Following Seas Kevin – We have the Watch

May Perpetual Light shine upon you - until we meet again



Kevin, you fought a long hard battle just like the Marine Corps Veteran you were. That's what we Marines do. we don't give up. I know you had a big heart and everyone loved you including me. Well, my cousin, until we meet again Jarhead OOHRAH!!!!

I have so many wonderful, fun memories of spending time with Kevin and Shirley, especially the football parties.  Oh how he loved the Chiefs and the football parties.  Kevin was always so willing to help anyone, with anything he could.  He will be seriously missed and always in the hearts of those who loved him and were blessed to have him in their lives.   Saying prayers for his family.

Shirley & family my heart goes out to you for your loss. Hugs and prayers to you and your family. Please let me know if you need anything.

Best wishes & prayers,
Jeanie Preston 

Shirley and family, I was so sad to hear about Kevin. He was such a fun loving man full of joy. It was sad to see him go down hill. My love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you. 

All my life Uncle Kevin was my guardian angel 😇 He bought  me my first bike, taught me how to ride it, I adored him as a child and even more as an adult❣ He helped me get on my feet after my divorce, he and Aunt Shirley saved my neck many times lol 😆 Kevin, you will forever be in my heart ❤  I love you ❤❤❤❤ 

Thank you for the wonderful things you did for our family and for being a wonderful PaPa to the girls!  

I love you and miss you papa. Forever in our hearts. I know you’re feeling better now and we’re glad you’re no longer suffering.
