The members of the 7th OVI send their sincere condolences to Kevin’s family and friends. Kevin was a great friend and an excellent officer. He will be missed.

Sad to hear of his passing.  I spent 4 years at WVTech where Kevin served as an advisor to our fraternity.  I have so many good memories from that experience.  He was always up for just about anything and always willing to help us get things done and stay out of trouble, for the most part.  Sometimes he had his hands full with us.  Another brother I'll great with a smile on the other side when I comes my time.

Kevin was a great man. I always felt safe and secure at re-enactments knowing he was responsible and truly cared for our community. He will be missed.

I had the pleasure of  working with Kevin at AEP for many years.  I always enjoyed when he would walk out back while I worked on taking care of the scrap transformer in the holding area.  We always found something interesting to chat about.  I am saddened to read of his passing.  Rest up Kevin. Hope to see you again some day  !

I worked with Kevin for many years at Appalachian Power. Kevin was smart and always did high quality work on our critical data networks and locations. I enjoyed hearing his stories from civil war reenactments, and he loved his family as he talked proudly about their achievements. I will miss Kevin. Prayers for comfort for his family. Todd

Kevin and his sense of humor shall surely be missed at reenactments.  My prayer is that his family finds comfort when recalling the many good times that they had with him.

He has gone to rest across the river in the shade of the trees with those who have gone before.

Kevin and I were high school buddies. We kept up with each other even at Tech. Later, I asked Kevin to speak to our students at Collins Middle School about the US Civil War. Kevin showed up in full uniform and gave a tremendous talk to the students and brought some aspects of the Civil War alive for the kids. They loved it! So sad to hear this news. Rest in peace, my friend.

So sorry to hear this. Kevin and I were in Band together and graduated together. He will be sadly missed. God Bless. ♥️🙏
