It is really still surreal. There are so many people that need you in their lives right now. For guidance, reassurance, help, hope, love, a smile. Watching everyone embark on new chapters in their lives is so fantastic but its so sad to think of those that have been left behind. You are the most beautiful angel. Your parents show strength like no other. Thinking of you every day.

kev,  i still cant believe your not here i keep thinking youll walk in the house and say hey dad wait what are doing dad but you dont.i cant tell you how much i miss you and luv you because they havent come up with the right word to explain the love i have for you,my awesome son i cant wait to see you again,just no im so proud of you and we'll see u soon.i luv you buddy  dad

You were His child.
And it was your time to go home.
He was taking your pain away and carrying
the weight on His shoulders.

I also realized why God didn't give
me more time to tell you how much
I loved and cared for you.
Because, me and you, we have the same
heart and you already knew.

There is not a day that goes by that I
don't wish I could talk to you. Just to
say I love you and Thanks.
Bu

But at the same time, I know you are
watching over me and you know my heart.

I have always regretted the days we didn't
get to spend together, but I will forever
hold dear to my heart the ones we did.

I feel more peace knowing that you don't
know what pain is anymore.
Sometimes, when I look up at the stars,
I catch a glimpse of your smile.

I believe that God let you be my guardian
angel sinc

since you can't be with me here.
I know this because when I feel I'm about to
give up and I need you the most, you
speak to my heart.

You visit me in my dreams now and you
always leave a little bit of heaven behind.

I feel you.

Tomorrow is the 1st of hopefully many fundraising events in your memory. Your mom, Mandy and I have worked so hard to make this event something you would be proud of. There have been so many people that have helped out, made donations, and offered us words of encouragement. I can tell you every minute we spend organizing and planning tomorrows event was done with love for you. Miss you

There is not a single day that goes by that I don't think of you. Or wish that we had a time machine and could go back and change what has happened...you surely will be forever missed.

Kev- Never forgotten. Love is all around and it shows. Its been too long, but I did have the "first" opportunity to sit in your room the other day, sicne you have been gone...it felt weird and good and the same time..so much life to live kid, just keep watching over us, angel. :) xoxo

At random points in my day I'll think of you and I try to hold back tears. It just seems so unreal, and it's so hard to believe that there is never going to be a future memory that you're apart of. All I have is the memories from when we were kids and from the few visits we've had since then. I cherish those. And I've learned to cherish all the people I really care about while I can.

Thinking of you today - just trying to keep it real - and be a better person - I've made some new friends to get together with, we like the same things which helps being lonely. Sure do wish I could be more a part of your mom and dads life and not so few visits like its been lately - Hearing about what they are doing in honor of you sure shows how you are missed - It sould be a sellout!

i cant stop crying kevin. i miss you so much it hurts. remember when i convinced u to become a vegetarian with me for a while lol i still cant believe youre gone. i look at the sky every day trying to find you. i wish i was with you sometimes. i dont feel this getting any easier. before you passed you told me even though you come off as so strong, you look up to me as the strongest girl

girl you know. your mom is really the strongest though. i remember what you said and i try to make you proud and live up to that. im so sadkevin. i love you so much

Sometimes it feels like years and other days it feels like just yesterday..I do not get the actual idea of what it feels like to grieve, but I know each day is just crazy....when I simply think of how young you were...it breaks my heart... I miss you..and I am sorry I couldnt have been there more, and I know it doesnt change anything, it may never have, but still..sometimes..its hard

Was driving home today and Billy said " mommy, you have an angel in your car" I know it was you, and thanks for tagging along :) Miss you...wish you were here to show me your smile and laugh your laugh...cause thats what counts when it all comes down to it...still in my heart, always on my mind

Had a dream about you, you were cool with all the plans that we're making, it was good to see your smile :)

I know how Kayli feels, my heart is broken. I know you are ok and you are happy, but us down here miss you so much. Every time I hear the song by Diamond Rio (that is playing) I just cry. 

Love you so much, mom.

The other day I was going through my journal from earlier this year Kev, right after you had gone to the hospital, I wrote how heartbroken I'd be if you left us. And it's so true Kev. I am heartbroken. You made such a positive impact on the lives of others. I think about you everyday. You will never be forgotten <3

my heart is broken kevin :( i miss you every second of every single day.

a rocket to the moon was our extremley gay-lovey band. we loved all their songs. we laid in the dark in your bed & you sang them all to me, nd i cried bc you are the cutest little baby i have ever seen. when we kissed sometimes id start crying bc i couldnt believe i had the most perfect angel in the world. i was so thankful to have you nd i was so happy that you were next to me and that we werent

that we werent anywhere else in the world, but right there. nd you said it was ok that i cried, bc they were happy tears. idk when this is supposed to get easier kevin. i think about you every second of the day. my hearts broken all the time. i cant wait till i see you again kevin,

Kevin,
  We really only talked in school but you are an amazing person. You always knew how to make someone smile. You had an amazing personality and a huge heart. You are loved by so many people and we all miss you like crazy. Rest Easy Kevin<3

Hey Kev, I never really hung out with you much but you used to hang with my brother who plays this song every morning in memory of you. I had couple of classes with you and you always seemed to find a way to agrevate miss pirette you were a funny nice kid rest easy kev

Kevin, Words can't describe how much I miss you man. Since middle school baseball you were the greatest kid in the world, you had a personality and a sense of humor nobody else had. Colton's going away party is when I really last hung out with you and had a conversation with you, other than the high fives in school .. I remember you came in the basement shirtless and

.. I said "Where's your shirt?" laughing, and you go , "My shirt? What Shirt?" that plays in my mind over and over, and the picture I had of you laying on the basement carpet on your phone. Those memories will last a lifetime, I miss you man. Keep everybody safe. <3

Hi Kevin, I met you for the first time at a friends party and you seemed like a very nice kid. You came up to me and my friends and introduced yourself to us, that was very sweet of someone to do who didn't know us. May you rest in peace and my love and tears goes out to your family and friends. You will be missed

Kevin, today is your graduation day. I will proudly sitting there not only clapping for Danielle and all her friends, but for you too. I wish you could be standing there with your friends. I know you will be looking down, giving everyone that big smile of yours. Mandy has said your friends will get their diplomas tonight and you will get your wings. I think that says it all.

Tomorrow is your graduation day. I will be sitting there with your mom and dad, watching all your friends receive their diplomas...I wish I would be watching you... it hurts every day.. BUT I know you are watching over your mom & dad..and the rest of your family and friends...because regardless of how tragic..tomorrow you get your wings :)

In a state of mind
I am remembering you as the song is that your cousin Mandy has playing on your tribute site awesome song
I havent written because I havent known what to write and I still dont but all I know is I sure am sad you're not here:( and like Mandy says tomorrow you get your wings:)'

I miss you every single day! 8/11/12 KAJ fundraiser! Food! Fun! DJ! Prizes! Save the date! Its all for you Kevin! LOVE YOU!

I only knew you as a baby Kevin!! I remember seeing you in the hospital when you were born and up till age 4 or so!!! You were the most beautiful little boy I had ever seen with charachter and charisma!!! I wondered how your momma kept up with you!!! I am praying you will keep a watchful eye on your mom and dad from heaven and help them get through this diffucult time somehow!!!  Love

Kevin, ever since we locked eyes in the hallways in 7th grade you have been on my mind. You taught me countless lessons i will keep with me forever. we were eachothers first true loves and there is not a second that goes by that i dont wish i was in your arms. i miss every single thing about you from your bent pinkies to the way your hair would shed all the time and id find strands in

This past week has been the hardest thing anyone in their lifetime should have to do. Without each of you we would not have been able to get through the days. All the love and support is overwhelming and to see how he was so loved and touched lives it was amazing. I always knew we had an amazing kid, and yes he had a beautiful smile. He is forever in our hearts and we will meet again.

Damn dude its just so unreal..just last weekend you crashed at ny house and me you John deirdre n shit had one hell of a time. You were a great friend and always knew how to make everyone die laughing. Like at alexss house when we were playing that little game. I miss yu already man stay lookin down on us you're gonna be one hell of a guardian Angel <3 can't wait till the day we meet again

It has been quite a few years since I saw Kevin but I remember him as a funny kid who had parents who were very proud of him. I was deeply saddened to hear this news and my deepest sympathies and warmest thoughts and prayers go out to Dave and Lori.

I would like to remember Kevin as a inspiring young man as well as a baseball player , I New him threw his dad , who is a great talent in the music industry , It seem like yesterday when I would here about what a great game he had and a certain future in base ball.
Always polite as he would ride up to say hello on his bike

Little did we know that morning that God would
call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went
with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are
always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the sa

me" This is what I would like to say at Kevin's funeral..if I have the guts..but in case I dont, its here.

For some reason, although we never hung out outside of school in kindergarden & elementary, I can't bring myself to believe you're gone. Everyone always has good things to say about you. This was your year to graduate, to really start your life in the real world. God needed you more, he had a pair of wings & knew you'd fit them perfectly. Rest In Paradise Kevin.

Its going to be so hard seeing an empty desk right next to me on monday morning.! And you sayin "whadddupp" with a head nodd.! you gave everyone so much to remember. You were a great person and had an amazing smile.Wish you were still here with us but..your in a better place now.! Our little angel.R.I.P Kevin<3 love and miss youu.
