Kevin,

I miss you brother!  You were one of the best little brothers.  Life changed around you.  You inspired so many including myself.  Your story will continue to live on through all who knew you.  Your wife and your sons will miss you but they knew you best!  You prepared them for life and gave them love.  I love you Kevin and miss you dearly.

Your big sister Diane

Cindy, we are so saddened to hear about Kevin's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.~ Tonya, Troy, Hannah & Kailey Chapman

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Cindy, we will sorely miss Kevin. He was an amazing person. I was the first maintenance employee to report to Kevin. Kevin was the same manager with one employee as he was when he finally had over 70 employees reporting to him. He always had time to listen and made you feel better after talking to him. Our prayers are with your family.

I was so saddened at Kevin's passing.  My sincere condolences to his wife Cindy & her children as well as his entire family.  Kevin was a fun classmate and it was wonderful seeing him in August for our reunion.  I was hoping to see him again and loved talking to him on Facebook.  He will be sorely missed.  May the good Lord grant you all comfort at this time. With my sincerest sympathy.

Cindy, Colton, and Grayson, Sheri and I are very sad to hear this and our dearest thoughts are with you all. I love you guys and loved Kevin- we were friends and will be forever. I miss you guys and am sorry we could not come. All our best, please stay strong, he wants you to be and so do we. Love forever and we will all never forget such a great person, Dad, husband, and friend.

So very sorry to hear of Kevin's passing, I was so happy he made it to our class reunion and had a chance to visit with him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Cindy, 
We are deeply saddened at the passing of not only a great man, friend and father but a man of God who touched many people at so many different levels!  We were privileged to have known him but look forward to the day when we will meet again!  
May the love of family and friends comfort you and your family during this time and know that you are all  in our thoughts and prayers.

Cindy, Colton, & Grayson,

To love someone is to always have them with you in your heart.  My heart is broken for all of you.  There are no words to say that will ease the pain in your hearts.  My prayers are with you.  

Aunt Nancy

Richard and Bridget. Jeanne and I were shocked and saddened by the death of your son. We will certainly keep Kevin and the family in our prayers. May he rest in peace.

I once told this joke to Kevin, and his response tipped me off to what kind of golden guy he is.
For a while I was an RF engineer for T-Mobile and wanted to share a engineering joke with him.

Phil - "An optimist sees a glass half full
A pessimist sees a glass half empty
But an engineer? They see a glass too big"

Kevin - "Phil, I'm just thankful to enjoy a glass of water."

I am among a multitude of people who were privileged to know Kevin, 
a man true in heart and the epitome of integrity and warmth.
Kevin was my great friend and he will be missed and always loved. 
Cindy all of us here pray the love of God surrounds you during your journey through grief, sending you and the boys thoughts of comfort.

Heartbroken.  Prayers are with the entire Gore family during this tragic time.  Peace be with you all.

To remember is to love and celebrate to laugh and cry to connect and shareâ€¦ To remember is to honor the one who will always be a light in your life and your heart.
With Sympathy from one of his many Gold's Gym acquaintances'â€¦

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of need.

Condolences from

Thinking of all you. Kevin was an amazing person. I am terribly sorry for this loss. Prayers are with you.

Kevin was an amazing friend and coworker and he will truly be missed. May God comfort his wife, sons and his family during this difficult time. Heaven has gained an angel. Rest in Heaven my friend.

Cindy and family, So very sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. He was one of the best people I every encountered through some tough times at Salem. He will be missed by many people present and in the past.

A sad day today. I just learned of Kevin's passing. A great guy. I remember when Kevin first got his SRO license at Salem. Condolences to the family.

Marine Richard Gore and Brigid. Will be praying for you and your family.

Marine Fred Romaine & family.

Very sad to hear of my Navy buddy's passing. Always a positive and fun man to be around. When I moved to New Jersey Kevin had me live with him while my family found a home. That's just the way he was.

Richard, you have my deepest sympathy with the loss of your son. They say people are not supposed to bury their children, but sometimes it happens. I am currently in Maine where my 55 year old son just recently dodged a near death event. God bless and hang in there.

I was very sad to hear about Kevin passing. He was always so positive, and his passion for fitness showed. Mornings at the gym will never be the same.

I was so sad to hear about Kevin passing. He was always so positive, and his passion for fitness showed.  Mornings at the gym will never be the same, he will be missed.

Kevin was a good friend, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with him at INPO for a year and a half.  We have kept in touch ever since.  Cindy and the boys, I am sorry for yours and all of our loss, he was a good man.

Kevin was an awesome man. He was a Godly man and he and his wife Cindy helped me with their positive encouragement after my wife died. We know Kevin is serving the Lord today and I am praying for comfort for Cindy and the boys.

"Kevin has one of the most inspirational stories known to mankind.  He really inspired me with his motivational words and wisdom.  Kevin will always be close to our hearts forever and ever!"

I'm so sorry to hear about Kevin. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I had the pleasure of knowing Kevin from our morning workouts at Gold's Gym. He was always helpful with making suggestions on how I could improve my workouts and nutrition. I will miss him a lot.

Kevin was a true leader and a BIG motivator, I watched as he transformed into a elite bodybuilder through the last few years it was an amazing feat and I was in awe of the whole transformation. Keven touched  a lot of people and I am proud to say I was one of them. My prayers go out to the Gore family, Kevin will truly be missed...

Cindy, my heart aches for you and your family.  I pray that you have all of the support you need in this time of grief.

My condolence to the Gore family. May the words of Phil. 4:6,7 strengthen and encourage you during this difficult time as you draw close to God in prayer.

Am deeply saddened with Kevin's passing.  Our deepest sympathies for Cindy and the family.  Having worked with Kevin for several years in Ohio, he will truly be missed.

Cindy - Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys.  I was fortunate enough to work with Kevin at two plants and we went through license class together at Davis Besse.  He was a great co-worker, but most importantly a great person and friend.  He will be missed!

I am sadden to hear of the sudden passing of Kevin.  My prayers and thoughts are with ya'll. May you feel God's presence and blessing of comfort and strength during this difficult time. Hold on to the memories and how much Kevin loved ya'll.

I can't believe Kevin is gone.  He was a great co-worker at VC Summer and such a passionate person about sharing his story of personal health and fitness.  I appreciate what little time I was able to share with him.  He is terribly missed.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.  God Bless.

I was very surprised by Kevin's sudden passing.  I had the honor and pleasure to work him at INPO.  I will keep Kevin and the entire family in my prayers.

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin over the last year and a half. We became friends talking about our love dieting, working out and trying to stay in good shape. He was much better at it than I haha. He was a great person. His personality and drive made you want to be better at every aspect of life; whether it was doing the best you can at your job, pushing yourself harder in the gym or trying to show the same amount of love to your family as he did to his. He always took the time to say how proud he was of whatever it was his kids were doing and how much he loved his wife. He was helping me get in better shape for my wedding coming up this October, and all he asked for in return was some deer meat as I got some this season (lean meat for putting on muscle). He didn't realize how much he was helping me in more than just my physical condition. He was teaching me how to be a better man. RIP big man.

Shocked and saddened to hear of Kevin's passing ~ so glad he was able to make our class reunion ~ thoughts and prayers to the all his family and friends.

So sorry for your loss! I worked with Kevin at INPO and he was a joy to be around! He will be missed.

Kevin was my co worker and friend. I called him "Mr. Hospitality" because he was always inviting his co-workers over for holiday get togethers. Whenever I asked him to help out on a project or provide his expertise, he always would. He was always kind and sincere. He was always smiling and he was ALWAYS talking about the love of his wife and the boys. Thank you for the continued encouragement over the years and for being such a wonderful contribution to this world.

Cindy,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  

Mark and Dee

"So sorry for your loss. I also had the pleasure of working with Kevin. He was a great guy."

God be with you Kevin. You will be greatly missed.

Cindy,Our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Kevin will be greatly missed by your "gym family". May God give you peace during this time.
In Him,
Kim Wilkins

Kevin will be dearly missed here at V.C. Summer. He will be remembered as a role model to many and always made time to talk to anyone who wanted to. Our conversations were always about family. Rest In Peace Kevin.

Cindy, Colten and Grayson:  There are literally no words to express the deep emotions and shock experienced when discovering Kevin's passing. Please smile when you feel him looking down after you. Although I just knew Kevin from High School, I was blessed to reconnect with him in the past year on Facebook and enjoyed visiting with him at our 30th class reunion in August. Kevin was... is a great friend... a wonderful person with a kind and jovial personality. He was and still is a motivation to myself and many with his latest endeavors in body building.  He is missed already.

So sorry for your loss, I had the pleasure of working for Kevin at the Salem Generating Station.

Richard and Brigid so sorry for your loss.  Now he is watching over you Richard,  Keep safe.  RIP Kevin

Shocked to hear.  Saddened.  My heart goes out to the family.

Cindy so sorry for your loss.  You and the boys are in my prayers!

Cindy, So sorry for the loss of your husband.  Prayers of peace and comfort for you and the boys.

Working with Kevin was always a pleasure as you knew he would always be straight with you. May God take him under his wing and comfort you in this sad time

Cindy jus read the obit. on Facebook so sorry to hear of your loss.you are so strong you will be fine and know that your husband will be watching over you and the boys always. Aunt Ruth Uncle Pete love u stay strong

Cindy, we are shocked to hear of the news about Kevin.  Prayers out to you and the boys.  It was always great seeing his posts on Facebook about you and the boys....and how proud he was of you guys.  RIP " a friend to ALL"

Cindy, Colton and Grayson - Tammy, Jessica, Megan and I can not begin to express the sadness that came over us with the news of Kevin's passing.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Kevin and I have been friends for 29 years and I stood by him when he married the love of his life.  A love that he professed often and publicly - A lesson to all of us on the way we should treat our wives but most of us don't live up to.  His love for his family came through whenever he talked about you.  You were the most important thing to him.  Kevin touched everyone that he met through his words and more importantly-his actions.  In all of my years I have not met someone as honest, upbeat, positive and encouraging as he was.  He was a fine human being that always put others first and it is an honor to call him my friend.

Brigid and Dick, I'm so sorry for your loss.  I'll keep you all in my prayers.

Kevin was a wonderful neighbor.  We are so saddened by his death.  We are praying for the family to find comfort during this difficult time.

We are still in shock over this sad news.  Kevin was one of the kindest, caring people we knew. We are so sorry for your loss and will continue to hold Cindy,  the boys and the rest of the family up in prayer.

Cindy, Michael and I just want you and your children to know we are thinking of you and praying for you, the boys and all of your family.  Michael worked out with Kevin regularly and I saw Kevin at the gym working hard on Saturday mornings.  He never hesitated to speak. We will miss him very much and as a part of his extended family from Gold's Gym we are here should you need us.

My beautiful Cindy I cant begin to know the heartache that your going through .just know that through you Kevin knew true love for his family and his God may God bring you peace through his divine   love and may you always know that love passes all barriers  and Kevin will always be with you .,
may you always now that you are precious in so many peoples heart. love you my beautiful Cindy Lou Who  aunt Donna

Praying for your family during this incredibly sad time. Kevin will be missed by all the people whom he inspired and encouraged. My life was made fuller having known Kevin and I will cherish the fond memories from each time I was fortunate enough to cross his path.

So Sorry To Hear of Kevin's passing... My husband learned of this sad news at work. Kevin was highly respected by all of his peers and Our Hearts go out to all of the family .Deb and Moe Grenier

Cindy, we are in shock about the loss of Kevin. Please know we are praying and thinking of you at this time and thinking of the kids and praying you all find the strength to get thru this. We love you and always will

Marti and I are deeply sadden for your loss ... I realize we are all people of faith and know that Kevin is rejoicing with Jesus now ... but we still yearn and grieve the loss of such a good man ... we are here if you need anything ... 
Billy and Marti Colucci & children

We are all deeply sorry for your loss.  Praying The Lord be with you and your family at this difficult time.

To Kevin's family, I am so sorry for your loss.  I have only known Kevin for a few years, but for all I do not know about him, the one thing I do know is how much he loved you.  He never missed a chance to share the love he felt for his wife and boys.  May you find peace in all the happy memories and the love you shared.

Carl and I are deeply sadden. Kevin was an inspiration to us all. I admired his positive energy and confidence that we could do anything & all was possible. I am blessed to have known him and he will be missed.

So deeply sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you. There are no words to express how incredibly sad I am to hear about Kevin's passing. My heart aches for your family.

Cindy, Grayson, Colten, Our hearts ache for you all.  I am so, so sorry you lost such a wonderful Husband and Father.  Our prayers are with you.  Words cannot express our sorrow for you and your family.
With much love,
Sue and Bruce Fahrnbach

Jim and I are speechless. Colten, Grayson and you are being lifting up in prayer and surrounded by love near and far.  Kevin loved you and those precious boys more than life itself.  Kevin was a remarkable man.  Our hearts weep with yours.  Love you Cindy and we are a phone call away.

Kevin left most of us in awe on "Wife Crush Wednesday's" (Facebook).  He always wrote such heartfelt things about loving Cindy and I am so thankful that his words are out there for a long long time.  His family was his heart!

Our prayers are with you and the family at this difficult time

I was so very saddened to learn about Kevin's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kevin will be missed terribly. His beautiful smile was so contagious and electric. Heaven just received a beautiful soul and he will always be our bodybuilding angel.. Thanks for being our friend, Jim and Marie Ann Newman

Kevin made me realize the person I want to be ~ Yet will all my efforts to be a better man I know in my heart there will only ever be one Kevin Gore. Our SC NPC Family will forever miss his spirit~ We love you KG!!! Prayers.

We are heartbroken. Speechless. Shocked. We lost an incredible man, our friend Mr. Kevin Gore. He believed in Musclelicious Foods when no one else did ... way back when ... when we first started out in our business. He promoted our products like no other, and helped to spread the word throughout the Carolinas. He gave and gave and this guy never expected a thing in return. Not one single thing. The love he had for his wife and children was so admirable. He made you want to be a better person. He was amazing. And now he is gone My husband and I are eternally grateful for all that him and his family have done for us. But the thing I am most thankful for? Getting to meet this great man and his beautiful wife in person and getting to spend some time with them. Thank you Kevin for touching our life the way you did.  Rest in eternal peace brother. Love, Sharin and Cipriano Pereira / Musclelicious Foods

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Kevin was a pleasure to work for, he always greeted everyone with a smile. He was never too busy to stop and say hey.

My thoughts and Prayers go out to Kevin's family , he was a wonderful person and I am so glad he joined us at our 30 th class reunion , he will be sadly missed by everyone from Mahar's class of 1984

I can still see Kevin lighting up as a little boy when his Pepere would tease him by calling him this ridiculously long nickname that ended in something like "hoola hoopa Gore the 3rd" ...  Kevin never stopped lighting up every where he went and ever one he met.  Me and my siblings knew him as our nephew; I can only imagine how Jean, Bob, & Dick, and his brother and sisters, along with his nieces and nephews felt about him.  Cindy, Colten, & Grayson ... your loss is difficult to comprehend.  He was a special, magical, gifted, loving, caring, person.  It seems to me we in this world needed him to stay much more than he needed to leave; but he is now with His heavenly Father; and once again I am sure that Pepere is teasing him ....  We will all see yu again Kevin, and if we have our way it will be sooner rather than later.  Till then, we love you ...  I hope you knew how much.

I still can see Kevin lighting up as a little boy when his Pepere teased him with a ridiculously long nick name that somehow ended in "hoola hoppa Gore the 3rd" ...   He never stopped lighting up where ever he went and who ever he was with.  We, as his family, were honored to have him as our nephew; I can only imagine how Jean, Bob, and Dick, and his brothers and sisters felt about him.  Cindy, Colten, & Grayson ... your loss is umimaginable.   He was a special, magical, gifted, loving, caring person.  Seems like this world needed him much more than His heavenly Father did, but Kevin is now enjoying his Pepere, and Memere once again.  We will all see you Kevin, and if we have our way, it will be soon.  Till then, we love you.  I hope you knew how much.   Aunt Debi, Greenfield, MA

I am sorry for your loss, Kevin was a good man

It was my pleasure to know Kevin and to work for him.  He was an amazingly humble and positive person.  I miss our hallway conversations.

Kevin and I worked together at the Salem Nuclear Station. He was instrumental in helping me get into the Operations part of the business. We kept talking about getting together ever since he moved to Columbia SC. I will always regret not following through to make that happen.

Always an abundance of smiles, positive thoughts, and willingness to help out no matter what the situation.  A guy who built bridges and established strong relationships wherever he went.

I was fortunate enough to work for Kevin the past 1 1/2 years.  He was a great boss and friend.  Rest easy my friend - it was an honor.

I didn't know Kevin Gore for a long time.  We spoke occasionally in the hallway as we passed one another or on occasion we would speak for a moment near the break room.  There were several good qualities that I always liked about Kevin.  He was always kind, quick to smile and never seemed too busy to speak with me.  He also was one of those people that made me feel confident in him as a leader and positive role model.  I will miss seeing him.  May he enter into God's rest and peace.

I considered Kevin a friend, as well as a co-worker.  I was always impressed with Kevin's uncompromising standards and willingness to share and learn from others. Kevin will be missed by many.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I was blessed to have the privilege of being Kevin's niece. We shared such an amazing bond. I miss him so much already. I love you Uncle!  Cindy, Colten and Grayson I love you!
