I will miss him so much. He was a really kind decent person.
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Kevin Engle who was born on February 5, 1964 and passed away on January 27, 2011. We will remember him forever.
A celebration of Kevin's life took place at Big Daddy's Barbecue Banquet Hall on February 19, 2011 between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m AKST. Friends recounted their many stories of times with Kevin over beer and barbecue. A memorial service for family and friends will be held on July 9, 2011, at 11 a.m. at Faith United Church of Christ in State College, Pennsylvania.

One time I was having a particularly rough day and Kevin gave me some little toy that must have been from a happy meal or something. I don't know why but for some reason I kept that thing in my desk for a couple of years. The thing is, Kevin always knew how to make anybody feel good. Everybody liked Kevin and Kevin liked everybody.

Kevin and I were friends and I enjoyed sharing an office with Kevin, when he worked for the seismology lab. We enjoyed working, kidding, and helping each other with problems.
I remember, walking in on Kevin one day. He was doing research, on sending a pager message, after an automatic earthquake triggered alarm. He googled the word "pager" and then clicked on one of the results. Kevin was embarrassed after accidently entering into the "Pocket Panty Web Page" and I asked him what the hell he was doing.
I am glad Kevin did not pick up on my pencil chewing habits. I learned to be a better person after spending time with Kevin. My hope and prayers go out to Kevin, his friends, and his family.
God Bless Kevin,

Meeting Kevin for the 1st time - from Marianne Stone

I remember Kevin stepping out of the rental car at the restaurant for Kent and Kim's Groom’s Dinner and thinking, “WOW!!!” Kevin looks just like a big cuddly bear! I would later get Kevin and Chris Wood's names mixed up. So, I told Kevin from then on I would call him Christopher Robin or Pooh Bear. Anyway, after thinking about this today, I pulled down one of the “Winnie the Pooh” books I have and was flipping through it. Christopher Robin and Pooh Bear were very good friends in the series and inseparable. Here is one of their conversations:
“If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together,
There is something you must always remember,
You are braver than you believe,
Stronger than you seem,
And smarter than you think,
But the most important thing is
Even if we’re apart,
I’ll always be with you.”
And…
“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.
Kevin will forever be in our hearts.
Love and gentle bear hugs,
Marianne Stone
