Kevin epitomized an evolution of self few ever will achieve. From Chain Reaction to politics; surf to suits; a cool vibe to casually cool.
Most would barely survive his physical hardships, much less the emotional that was attached to them. Yet he persevered to heal heart and body, to find again the beauty and freedom of life.
I was fortunate enough to spend time with Kevin and Laurie as I grew up side-by-side with Rose. I have stories, as I'm sure many of you do; hilarious, intelligent, sarcastic, and laden with hyperbole and chatter. In these stories may we come to know ourselves. To live our lives to their fullest as Kevin did.
Laurie, Josh, Rose, Jake and Sarah: My deepest sympathies, it was a great honor just to know Kevin.
Much Love,
