The world became a little brighter the day Kevin was born, and a little dimmer when he left us. To know Kevin was to experience joy in its purest form — a laugh that could light up a room, a smile that could melt any heart, and an energy that drew people in and lifted them higher.

Kevin lived life in full color. Whether he was sharing stories that left everyone laughing, creating masterpieces with his music,dancing until the lights came on, or offering words of encouragement just when they were needed most, Kevin had a rare gift for making every moment feel special.

Friends and family often described Kevin as “larger than life” — not because of grand gestures, but because of the way he made others feel: seen, valued, and loved. He believed deeply in the good in people and approached every day with optimism and gratitude.

Kevin’s legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched — in the laughter shared, the memories made, and the love he gave so freely. Though our hearts are heavy, we find comfort knowing that Kevin’s light continues to shine in all of us.

A celebration of Kevin’s remarkable life will be held in the spring of 2026. In true Kevin fashion, we invite everyone to come with stories, smiles, and maybe even a bit of sparkle — just like he would have wanted.

Forever remembered. Forever loved. Forever shining.
