After spending this week with family, friends and some strangers it has become apparent that my father left a significant mark on other people’s lives. 
To me... he was a funny man with a dry sense of humor which I adore and one that everyone doesn’t necessarily understand! His life was full. Full of ups and downs. He battled a handful of health issues as a child, was drafted and served in the Army, had 3 daughters and then an open heart surgery at 38.  After that he was afforded many years with relatively good health. This last year however, has been a difficult one. The year before not much better as my mom had learned of her own health issue. He spent this last year fighting and he was tired, trapped in a body that fought him every step of the way. Even though my heart is broken I know he is finally at peace and no longer in pain.
Reflecting on my time with him, I have so much love for his life. A legacy is not based on money or glory. A legacy is the impact you make on another’s life.  It’s about how you live and the kindness you share.
While I continue to navigate through this grief I will always be grateful to be HIS daughter and to know a Father’s unconditional love.  I know how fortunate I am to have been blessed with the father I had. Rest easy now ~ I ❤️ You Dad!

We worked together on association meetings. Kevin always brought wisdom and an encouraging spirit to those functions. He will be much missed. 

Pastor Schrum officiated my wedding just over 10 years ago. He was such a sweet man who was very funny and patient with us, especially my husband who was pretty nervous about standing up and speaking in front of a big crowd. We will always remember him fondly. I'm so very sorry for your loss, Schrum family.

A great and refreshing representative of what God chose him for!  What a true man of God he was!  I feel blessed and honored to have known him!  Well done my son is what he will hear from God upon entering the pearly gates!  RIP man of God!

So many memories rushing into my head. Kevin was there at various key points in my life. He sang at my rehearsal dinner before getting married. He supplied an actual “ball and chain” that was strapped to my leg at my bachelor party. Yes, he held the key too!  He taught my Sunday school class for years while in attendance at West Hampton Baptist. He provided me the knowledge and foundation to also teach a young couples class later. He included my family with his in many events throughout the years. His smile, though cunning was very infectious! I always thought he was up to something mischievous when he smiled!  There is no doubt where Kevin is now. He is basking in the Glory of our Lord. I will miss him, but know he is well taken care of and sharing that smile with those around him. 

The words “and all God’s children say ....amen” remind me of Kevin.  That is how he usually ended prayers before our office dinners.  Rest In Peace Kevin and rise in glory.  

He is the reason I play guitar.. he made me want to be an artist.. he encouraged my love of music and introduced me to some of my favourite bands... he was more like a big brother to me than an uncle.. I will miss you, Uncle Kevin...

Pastor Kevin baptize me 4yrs ago I’ll never forget what he told me he said before we started Tony your a big guy so your going to have to help me anyway you can. He was standing on a cinderblock in the baptismal when he went to lift me out of the water my feet slipped on the slick bottom and I peeled all the skin off the top of my toes on my right foot on that darn cinderblock after in was over with we went behind the Baptismal and he told me you were not just baptized by water but now you shared your blood with the blood of Christ. I loved Kevin very much and loved listening to his war stories he was truly one of the most kind and love able people God ever put on this earth thank you pastor Kevin for all you taught me in our short time knowing each other. Signed. Tony kirkland friend.

My prayers are with the family.  I shall never forget your husband, father, grandfather.  He consulted with me when I was voted to be a deacon of my church and prayed and guided me then he was the pastor to ordain me.  He was a big part of my life when I needed him to be.  All my prayers go out to the entire family.
Love in Christ, Faye 

Mr Shrum was an amazing gentleman. I always looked forward to his smile. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to help him and his family. God bless. Prayers to a wonderful family. Thank you.
