Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. While we grieve for the loss, I know Thad and Kevin are having a wonderful reunion there in God’s kingdom. Love & Prayers. Bob & Jan
Shauna, Tim and family,
Kevin was a wonderful friend. He had a kind and gentle spirit—but he did like to win—especially at poker.
I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Eleanor Hensley
We are thinking of you all during this difficult time. May your happy memories of Kevin give you strength and peace. We will always remember his sense of humor.

So sorry to hear about Kevin. May you find the peace and comfort to carry you through this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
My heart goes out to Kevin’s family and friends. I had the opportunity to get to know Kevin and his children through my sister and brother-in-law, Eleanor and John Hensley. Kevin and his family made many trips out to the Noll family farm in Jefferson County. He was a special person and will be remembered by those who knew him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We know that Kevin and Thad are together again in spirit for eternity.

To Tim and Shawna and all the family and friends–my heart goes out to you today as you grieve the loss of your Dad, son, brother, and friend. I knew Kevin through my sister and her husband, John and Eleanor Hensley. I know that all of the old buddies from Kevin’s young adult life will share special memories as they grieve their loss. I pray that Kevin is at peace and that you all find comfort in the days to come. Love, Renie Stephan and family
While we all grieve the loss of Kevin, I am comforted that God has healed him and welcomed him into his kingdom with open arms. I am certain that Kevin has been reunited with Thad, his Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and his dear friend, Jeff Palmasino. We’ll have many memories of Kevin to sustain us, his great sense of humor, his unwavering loyality to his friends and most importantly his pride of and devotion to Shauna and Tim. As a brother he was always fiercly protective of Kathleen and I, having saved our hind parts on more than one occasion. As an uncle, Kevin always relished playing with the little ones. He always had that little mischievious twinkle in his eye. Kevin, we all love you and will miss you. Please stop by our dreams now and then to say Hi. I’ll be looking for you.
Love, Your creepy big sister.
