Wow Kevin I just heard this saddening news. I remember our English class together at wells and u always made me laugh til I couldn't breathe lol. We used to do some crazy stuff and u were always so energetic! But I serve a God that makes no mistakes so I know He needed you more. You will forever be in my heart and I offer my deepest condolences to your family. Love you!

Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am.  I just received the news today.  My heart goes out to you, Debbie.  All my love and prayers for you.

Kev,  we had few memories together but we had some good ones.  I wish we could have had a lot more.  I know you had a great heart and good spirit.  I know that you're in a better place now, but wish you were here to grace us with that classic laugh of yours one more time.  You will be greatly missed until we see each other again.  One love.

Dear Debbie, Tom and all who mourn for Kevin:
Kevin touched many lives and was a beautiful soul.  We had many precious moments with him and his passing is such a tragic loss.
The poem below helped me greatly in dealing with grief and loss, may you find peace in it as well.
Much Love, Alisa & Kevin Vahedi

***********

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the snow on the mountain's rim,
I am the laughter in children's eyes,
I am the sand at the water's edge,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the star that shines at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Dear Debrina and family,
We are so sorry this has happened and there are not any words we could say to take the hurt away.  Just know you are in our prayers.  Trust in God and hold your family close.  God bless, Joe, Jenn and Mary

Our hearts are weeping over the loss of Kevin. Our deepest sympathy to all of Kevin's family and friends.  Although your/our hearts are filled with overwhelming sadness, Kevin is rejoicing!

Ali, life will never be the same without you. Your brothers Kian and Rayan will miss you very much, and when they are old enough to understand i will make sure they know more about you. I still remember the first time you held your baby brother Kian, you were so gentle knowing how fragile a newborn can be, yet you were confident because as an older brother you would always protect him and felt responsible for him. I know you will be watching over them. And we will be praying for you, thinking of you, loving you as if you never left us. You will always live within each and every person who ever loved you.
On behalf of my family and friends, we are sorry for your loss. Debbie and Kaveh, may allah give you patience and strenght, our hearts and prayers are and will always be with you.

Much Love.
Sarra, Kian and Rayan.

my boy kevin, 

One of the greatest memories that I will forever carry with me 
happened the summer of my Jr year in high school. Heading into my Senior year I didn't have the money necessary to buy myself the clothes that I really wanted, and the part time footlocker check I was getting just wasn't cutting it lol. Well For my Senior year I can honestly say I was one of the best dressed guys in my high school, and I owe that all to you. You pretty much gave me your whole wardrobe and had me set for the whole year, and to this day I will forever appreciate that. 

That small act of kindness defined you as the person that you were.  Everything you did was out of love and sincerity, and nothing was ever forced but simply came natural. Their will never be another "Kev" and I know you will forever be missed.  

To Debbie,Tom and the Mabasa Family I know how much Kevin meant to you guys, and I am really sorry for your loss. I have never met a family as loving and tight knit such as yours, and im sure your faith in the lord will help you overcome this harsh reality. 

Kevin its not goodbye but see you later bro. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Adrian Dillehay

My heart and my prayers go out to his parents, "My sister". A beautiful son, "Kevin" he will always be in your Heart and all around you. I pray with all my soul for Comfort and Peace to You.
With Much Love,

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

To the Family and Friends of Kevin,
My deepest sympathies go out to you. I pray the Lord will give you comfort and peace thru this difficult time.

Kevin was a dear friend of my daughter, Evin and she cared for him deeply.  

It is so true what Kevin's aunt said about 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14.  Take comfort that he is in God's loving care.

Vanessa (Evin's mom)

Kev,

Where do I begin? I would do ANYTHING to hear your voice one more time, to hug you one more time, to hear you bust out laughing one more time, to go shopping with you one more time, to go to the casino with you one more time, to see that twinkle in your beautiful green eyes just one more time…I would do ANYTHING!

We enjoyed some great memories together. From swimming at your apartments when we were little, to our summer in Cali, to being broke and stranded at a gas station.  You always brought fun, laughter, and excitement to my life.  

Although our last encounter didn’t end well, I am thankful to God that I have millions of other beautiful memories to outweigh that one. Our forgiveness towards eachother went unspoken, but I know it was there, and I know that our love for one another was and remains untouched.  

Enjoy being with the Lord, and enjoy being one of the most beautiful Angels in Heaven!

I will and miss you every day, keep you in my thoughts every hour, and continue loving you every second of my life.

“God made us cousins,
 Love made us friends,
 Experiences and memories made you the little brother I never had.”

I’ll never let you out of my heart,
Bri

Ali - You were an amazing kid and such a good hearted guy. My deepest condolences to you an your family at this very difficult time. I will miss you dearly.

Kevin,

You had such a magnetic personality that touched so many people! I will miss you and the positive energy you always carried around you. 

My sincerest condolences go out to the Mabasa and Vahedi family.

Kevin, my mush mush, no amount of words can say how much I love and miss you.  I cherish the memories we have. The only thing that gets me this terrible time is knowing that you are with Father Almighty. Love you always and you will always ne in my heart.
Aunt Debbie and Uncle Tom, you are in my prayers, love you both.

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends..." John 15:13
O, Kevin-what an amazing, wonderful life you have shared with all of us.  The memories of your vociferous laughter, the sparkle in your eyes, your boundless love of life are now sweet snap shots, really, that we will hold dear to our hearts and souls.  As we hurt, we look around us and realize that loving you has brought all of us together-remembering you, each in our own tender way, will help us heal.  I'm so glad you let me into your world-thank you-it's been fun. Dance, dear Prince, and save a spot on that heavenly dance floor for me!  

"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sorrow and clothed me with joy..." Psalm 30:11

I love you Baby Sister-I love you Tom.

Aunt Shelly

To the Vahedi Family,
Our deepest sympahty for the loss of your beautiful son.  Kevin was a dear friend to my daughter Gabrielle and she had an endearing affection for him.  We both had the pleasure of knowing and enjoying great laughs and memories.  Houston you touched our lives and may you rest in peace.

My Kevin, 
                
No words can describe how much your laughter, wit, and your joy has brought to our lives.

We will miss your radiant "Smile" and loving Eyes,  Our hearts are broken by the absence of our Kevin.  But we know that to fall asleep in death is to wake up in the Lord.  One day we will be with you again forever.  You are so missed.  
                Love Aunt Lynna Mabasa

And Jesus said TODAY you will be with me in Paradise.    Luke 24:43

For My sister Debbie and Brother Tom I love you and we are here for you always. 

What time I am afraid I will trust in thee.      Psalm 56:3

You will always be in my heart.  I Love You Kevin

Uncle Johnny Mabasa

Kevin, my GRAND GRANDson, my Baby Buffalo,
I asked God to show me excitement, expectation and wonderment and He gave me you.  I asked for joy and laughter, and there you were.  And then I asked to see and feel love and you came running with your arms wide open shouting Grandma, Grandma - At that moment love was wrapped around me and love's name was Kevin.  I thank God for you!  Your friend throughout eternity - I love you more!

Philippians 1:3
I thank my God every time I remember you!

Kevin, Our Baby Buffalo,
I thank God for giving me the time to spend with you all these years and see you grow.  You loved me in such a way that I knew, without a doubt, that I could always count on you and your love.  We were not only Grandpa and Grandson; God made us friends.  While I miss you already, I know that because of our memories, we will always be together.  I love you.

Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you
He is might to Save
He will take great delight in you
He will quiet you with His love
He will rejoice over you with singing!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sorrow.

Oh Kevin, my dear sweet nephew,
They say that Love means never having to say you're sorry, but I think that TRUE LOVE means that you want and need to say you're sorry when you have unnecessarily or unintentionally hurt someone that you love.  So, at this moment in time, I NEED TO SAY; "I am so sorry if I failed you in ANY way."  There is NOTHING that I wouldn't give right now for One more Hug - One more Kiss - One more Smile and one last Chuckle.  You will forever live in my heart! Until we meet again - One Sweet Day, sleep in Jesus! 

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
For I do not want you to be ignorant brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have NO hope.  For IF WE BELIEVE that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

debrina, I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son , my heart goes out to you, I cannot imagine the loss you must feel.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

There is noting to say to parents that loss their son, they lost their life and their future. I ask them to be patient. I love you guy, I love you, be patient.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family during our time of great sorrow. The loss of a loved one is never easy.  Keep God as your focus and He will see us all through these tough times. Love you Ali and will miss you dearly!
Cheyenne & family

Sorry doesn't seem sufficient in times like these nor will any amount of grieving fill the hole Debbie you must feel in your heart.  I did not know Keven very well but if he had half your zest for life then it was a life well lived, although short.  I will continue to interceed on behalf of his entire family: for their loss, their immense grief, their healing and peace. May God hold each of you as you move forward and may you each know that he is big enough to handle whatever you need to lay at his THRONE.  Pray without ceasing and in all times know he walks beside you.

All our love and support for Debrina, Tom and Kevin's family and friends.  Love, Kay, Joe and Jonathan.

Kevin,I miss u my man....Uncle David's life never be the same without u.....I wish my boy grows up to be just like u....I remeber u till my time is up!

We enjoyed some great times in pasadena. A lot of parties a lot of fun. You lived your life like everyday was your last. Sadly you've left us now, and you will be missed. My heart goes out to the Vahedi family. Im sorry for your loss.

You were taken from us too soon kevin! We haven't been in much contact recently but we had two of the most fun summers of my life while you were here in LA. You're in a better place now looking down on all of us. I know you've got my back from above. Love you bro.

There are no words of comfort, solace, or sympathy we can extend to Kaveh and his honorable family. Except to say that we share your sorrow & hearthache. We pray to God that as the days go by, you find it in your hearth to see that your beloved son is in a better place & watching over you. That heavens couldn't wait to be blessed with his innocent presence. The promise of  a glorious life unfulfilled can shake anyone to the core. But please remember that we will all meet again someday.
May God rest his soul and bless your family.
Much love & sympathy,
Bersabeh & Kasra Vahmi

God must have been really lonely to take you from us so soon.
No other explanation will ever do.

We grieve your absence, your innocence, your smile.
Wondering what the future held for your beautiful eyes.

The truth is we will never forget, we pray to God to give us our strength.
For every day when our eyes awake, they’ll think of you and the memories we made.

How sweet life was when you were around.
You were full of energy like thunder from the clouds.

Now every time those same clouds cry, we will know it is you,
Sending us a message…saying how much you miss us too.

From today till forever we will always love you. 
Until we meet again, our Angel…always thinking of you.

In memory of our beloved Ali
1988-2011
