My condolences to the family of a wonderful man. May it bring you comfort to know that Kevin is resting in his mansion. Prayers for continued peace and comfort.
My brother, you have both impacted our generation and left a lasting impression. Seeing your transformation was inspiring. The once “tough guy” became a tender loving guy who made everybody feel like a friend. Sorry to see you go.
Kevin was a good friend

Uncle Charles & Essie
My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. May God give you the comfort and peace that you seek and may the soul of Kevin rest in peace.
Rest well with your father in heaven, Kevin. I wish that I had the opportunity to get to know you better at church. Liv always had good things to say about you. Then I found out that you were Brandi’s godfather. You were loved by many. I pray God grants peace that surpasses all understanding to your family and friends.
Words can’t express my gratefulness that God allowed me such an encounter with “ His son”. I’m so happy your soul was won and you were fully persuaded in the Salvation of Jesus Christ! The sound Gospel of truth transformed you then transitioned you to eternal life! My love for you will always remain, what fun we had together. My brother in Christ never forgotten. My prayers and condolences to your family and the “KK”squad. Until we meet again.
Your Spirit declared on that day! 1/4/23!

God Bless you Ms. Eugeina, for you have lost 3 of your Sons. You don’t know me, but I remember seeing you standing in the front door of your house sometimes, where You, Kevin, Charles (Tony) & Andre lived on Republic, some 35-40 yrs ago. I understand that our Lord & Savior makes no mistakes & doesn’t put anything on us that we can’t bare, but you my God are certainly someone that’s been put to the ULTIMATE TEST!! Me being a mother of 3 offspring’s myself, I can truly say, that just knowing of you, that I somewhat felt your pain each & every time I learned of the passing of all 3 of your Sons. I know a Loving Mother, as yourself never fully recovers from the loss of a child, but I certainly pray that Our Lord Jesus Christ makes a way for you to heal as much as Humanly possible. Again God Bless you and the entire Brown, Cook and all other Family members & Friends who loved Kevin… And that’s a whole lot of LOVE!❤️❤️
