Prayers for Kevin and his family..during this time.  My cousin...Niki

Aunt Georgia, Wendy.

I just learned of Kevin's passing.  I have tried to reach Aunt G...to no avail.  Please accept my condolences
I have not seen Kevin in years, the last time was in Houston over 20 years ago.  I have left my name and number with the funeral home.  Please reach out, I would love to speak with you.  Much love Niki

My dad was such a genuinely intelligent man, not just book smart but he could teach anyone,  something new every day. I looked up to him in so many ways and he could always put a smile on my face. He was one of the easiest people to talk to and he never judged you, we miss you daddy❤️

The things that he taught me in my youth were invaluable to the person I became. He was a great man a with great wisdom whose many lessons he taught have stayed with me to this very day. I met Kevin when I was 17 years old and working at Jungle Jim's Playland in Richardson, TX. He was the adventurous, daring, and all around the most interesting person I have ever known. He came with me and my family to our family reunion back in 1996 or '97 to Tennessee, and has always been family to me. The many adventures that we had were strange and beautiful, tragic and fantastic. He was a great soul whose memory will never fade, and I am sure that the people he crossed paths with will agree that he was one of a kind. I am really going to miss him. The only way that I can do him any justice would be to quote the author Hunter S. Thompson, "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, too rare to die." Rest easy bro, miss you already.

I did not learn of Kevin's death until today and I was devastated.  Kevin was a great man and would do anything for anyone.  I once had a mother duck and four ducklings in my back yard and I didn't know what to do with them for months.  Finally, with Kevin and his daughter's help and others, we herded the ducks down to a close by golf course.  One of the little ducklings was so tired, he really couldn't make it and Kevin picked hiim up and took him to the water.  He loved to play table tennis and had his own special paddle.  We so enjoyed him at the senior center and he always made me laugh.  May he rest in peace and he will be missed.

Sorry to hear about Kevin we lived up the road just a little way from where they lived my Brother Paul bought an old orange 65Baracuda from him when they were young don't think anybody ever got it on the road 

So very sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. He was a childhood friend to many of us in Ocoee, Florida.  Many prayers for the family. Jackie Zeigler

I sat in front of Kevin in the West Orange band while he played trombone... He was funny and at times, seemed to be very serious. I've often wondered where he moved and what he was doing... I'd like to think he's playing music in heaven. God bless his family. 

I will miss you brother.  Love you for as long as I live.

KEVIN AND I WENT THRU SCHOOL TOGETHER AT OCOEE ELEMENTARY AND OCOEE JR. - SR. HIGH SCHOOL

Kevin was the father of two amazing young ladies who he loved very much, Deanna and Elena Haynes. He was so proud of them. Kevin worked hard and had many hobbies including making art. He recently fulfilled his dream of opening a stained glass business. 

Love has no ending girls, just a resting place. 
Love, 
Mom 

It was too soon to lose my Daddy. I’m grateful for the time I had. He was always himself:creative, kind, and an inquirer. He taught me so much, and the world will miss his honesty, his brilliant mind, and his brightness and artwork.
