To Ann and the Shortelle family, Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. Kevin and I have been friends since first grade at Holy Trinity, our days at Xavier High School and then Notre Dame. I am very fortunate that Kevin and I were able to catch up at our college reunion this past June. It was indeed a pleasure to spend time together. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by al that knew him. May He Rest In Peace. Farewell my Friend.
Wonderful man with a heart of gold. He will be missed.
I wanted to share a quick story that sums up my friendship with the great and greatly missed Kevin Shortelle. My wife and I were in the Dallas airport killing a couple hours before our flight to Gainesville. Kevin recognized us amongst the thousands of other folks in the terminal. He hunted us down as we wandered the airport, greeted us warmly, and wanted a full download on our family. Once he figured out we were boarding the same flight he immediately got silent for a moment, became almost embarrassed, and then quickly starting explaining that he had been upgraded to 1st class for this flight. He wanted us to know that this was not typically how he traveled and he did not pay extra for the upgrade. He also told us that he was unaware of the upgrade when he packed his trademark Knights of Columbus backpack. He was obviously not comfortable be anything less than modesty and didn't want the upgrade to reflect poorly on his beloved Knights. Kevin was always kind, always welcoming, forever modest, and a true Christian gentlemen! It is a blessing to know that he has been welcomed into an eternity in Heaven by our Heavenly Father. The Huene family misses our friend Kevin and we pray for healing and peace for all of his family. Melissa & Ed Huene.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Kevin was such a great guy. He was one of my best friends growing up. We went to parochial schools all the way thru High School. We both learned how to play Golf together and spent many memorable times together. I always said Kevin would be one of the most successful individuals I have ever known. What a tremendous human being ! My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family . Brendan McLaughlin
I am so sad to hear about Kevin. We went to Parochial school and all thru High School. He was such a great guy. We both learned how to play Golf together and just enjoyed being very good friends. I even knew back then that he was one of the brightest individuals that I knew and it is a testament to all his endeavors he has achieved . My Thoughts and prayers go out to the family ! He was a good man ! Brendan McLaughlin
