Kevin participated in every single one, and with his sharp mind and determination, he emerged victorious each time. Those moments were not just about winning; they were a testament to his relentless spirit and dedication.

One of Kevin’s greatest loves was movies, especially “King Kong." This film was symbolic to him—just like King Kong, who was big and had a mighty roar, Kevin had a larger-than-life presence that commanded attention. Yet, beneath that strong exterior, he was a gentle soul, filled with love and compassion. He showed us that true strength lies not just in power, but in the kindness, we extend to others.
