    My heart goes out to his family. Kevin was one of the realist and down to earth coworkers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. My last time of. seeing and having a conversation with Kevin right before Christmas and he dropped off gifts to the job for the Christmas toys for tots and ask me to come outside the job to pick them up. I remember asking him how he was doing and let him know I was thinking about him and would continue to pray for him. I let him know his wife’s cookies were the best.
