I remember when you used to come to the house on Townsend. Your hugs, your voice and jokes, always made things better. No matter what was said about me, you never made me feel like a “bad” kid and never ignored me. You used to take me to the basketball court with you, the talks we’d have! Man do i miss those days. You were my best cousin, more like a big brother. If i wouldve known Mama’s funeral would be our last hug, I wouldve never let you go. Thank you for showing me what family is. I will always appreciate you && will never forget you.
Fair winds and following seas. Thank you for your service to the Teams and our Great Country.
RIP KB…May God bless you in the afterlife, and protect your family in your absence…We’ll meet again brother when we tell our stories in the halls of Valhalla
We fought in diffent wars Chief, but I still consider you a brother in arms. I always had the deepest respect for the Hispital Corpsman. May God bless your family and may you rest in piece knowing that your Navy family will never forget your service.
Rest in Peace Shipmate, “we have the watch”…..
RIP Chief. Sending condolences to the family and thank my fellow Chief and shipmate for his service to God and country. God bless.
RIP my brother and may God grace and mercy be with his family and give them peace.
When I read of your passing all I could think about is you coming into pick up Gabby and how she would light up the moment she saw you. It was only a look that a daughter has for her father. I am so deeply saddened by your passing and pray for your wife, that beautiful little girl and your family.
Sending my condolences to the family. Keeping the family in my prayers. Rest in Peace Kevin.
I offer my most heartfelt condolences to the family. There are no words sufficient enough to cover over the grief of losing your beloved son, dear husband, father, and grandson. In difficult times like this family and friends can offer much needed support. May their love and comfort be a constant at your door now in the the days to come. Most important is our relationship with God (Psalm 83:18) I pray that he gives you peace and that you find strength in him, his word and his promise of a resurrection in Isaiah 26:19.
