It's hard to believe it's been a year. We still think of you and miss your laughter. We had alot of good times, wish you were still here.

I was in Kevin’s High-school graduation class. I just found out nearly a year later. My deepest condolences for the Rupinta Family and Friends!! I am very sad to see this!! He was smart, charming and witty and was a beautiful soul! 

I worked with Kevin at FCC in Lakeland. Kevin was one of the most genuine persons that I have met. I was in shock to hear of his passing and I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family. Kevin always had a smile on his face and always spoke very highly of his family. He loved them very much. Heaven has gained an angel.  May he rest in eternal peace.  

Kelly, Dalton and Nolan, my sincere and  deepest condolences.  I did not know Kevin well as I just began working at Stericycle.  He was incredibly welcoming, kind and helpful.  When meeting Kevin, I immediately knew him to be a man of strong character.   He will be missed. 

My heart goes out to the entire Rupinta family, but especially to Kelly, Dalton and Nolan. 

I first met Kevin some 25+ years ago, through Vernon.  The two things that stand out the most about Kev was his big smile, but most importantly, that Kev was a family man above all. 

I have a lot of great memories of Kev from tailgating at football games to snow skiing trips in Wyoming, Colorado, etc.  I will always cherish those moments and memories. 

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I have a few good memories of Kevin. One that stands out the most is when we took a ride to Tallahassee to clean out a hospital. We had a long talk about family kids sports  and fishing. That is when  I started calling him BJ Penn like the UFC fighter LOL. From that day on the name stuck for me and him he was no longer Kevin he was BJ Penn. RIP buddy!!!#fly high man.

To the Rupinta Family,
I am so very sad to hear of Kevin’s passing.  I have so many sweet memories of him when he played on the Giants Little League Team in Jax Beach.  My husband, Rick Fenn, was one of the coaches and how very much he thought of Kevin.  Kevin was an unbelievable ball player who could do anything, field, hit, throw!!  Our son Tim was also on the team and pitched and played first base.  Rick teased Kevin a lot after he hit a foul ball and it broke the windshield of Rick’s car!!  
Rick passed away 3 years ago and I feel sure they are trading baseball stories in heaven right now.  I will pray for your family.  It is so hard to lose my husband but losing a son, oh my, I can’t imagine your grief.  And I would guess Kevin leaves behind a wife and children who will miss him greatly.  All I can offer you are my prayers and my deepest sympathies.  Susan Fenn

I first met Kevin when he came to Stericycle as my Co- Supervisor in Jacksonville.  A couple of months later … He was my Supervisor. We had our share of good times and stressful times, but he was always smiling and would always greet you with his famous  
" What's up Big Guy " greeting. We shared a lot of long hours and conversations. He was a great guy, coworker and Supervisor and will truly be missed.  We're truly gonna miss you   " Big Guy "

I only knew Kevin a short while during his time at Stericycle.  I instantly liked Kevin the moment we met at a training and spoke to him often.  My heart an prayers go out to you all.  He will be missed here on our team at Steri.

I am very sorry for your loss.  Please find comfort in Jesus' words recorded at John 11:25 where he promises that 'all who exercise faith, even though they die, will come to life.'

To the family of Joseph.
My name is Juanita, And I want to offer you my sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. I will like to share a comforting word to you, taking from God's word.  When Jesus resurrect Lazarus back to life, he was showing us on a small scale what he will do for us in the future.  He gives us a guarantee that he will bring person back to life. 
Acts 24:15 tells us that there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.
So you definitely could look forward to seeing your dead loved ones again.
Isn't that Good News, imagine holding, hugging and embracing Joseph once again.
Yes, The Bible does give us a wonderful future to look forward to. Our heavenly Father Jehovah God loves us and always wants us to be happy.

Sincerely
Juanita
