Extremely upset today to find out about the passing of my good friend Kevin... I want to extend to the family my deepest condolences... Kevin was a good man. I lived with him at the trailer on indianola road for some time ...he was stand up guy, always there if I needed him... And I mean always there when needed someone! he was the first to show to save me from everything I faced in life during this period of time... We grew quite close while living together... But then lost track of one another in these last few yrs since moving out of the trailer ...
I am grateful to have got to see him one last time about 6-8 months ago, he was laughing that laugh of his and tappin his toe at me like always ...
He told me how he fell in love and got married since the courts... We reminisced on memories and chatted a lil ... And I could see that he was truly happy in life, finally. And I was happy for him... He will be truly missed ..
I am praying for the family and for him still also, I am so sorry for this loss
May he be carried home on the wings of angels where he can finally have peace in his soul this earth couldn't give him, he deserved that and much more really... Til we meet again friend I'm sending my love with those angels. Missing u buddy...
Always, ur Angel
