One of my funniest and funnest friends, from MHC to WCU. Miss the laugh…
I would like to say that I knew Kevin for a long time since Jr. high. We lived around the corner from each other. I haven’t seen him recently. But in our old days we had a good time.. And I hope and pray that He was saved and ecepted Jesus Christ as his personal saviour. May he rest in peace and I want to also say I love you Kevin as a dear friend. I will all ways remember you.
Shine on you crazy diamond
Thinking of you today and will visit the gravesite with you. I thought alot of Kevin and knew him to be very kind and loving. He was good to his “mama” and was a very devoted son. He had many accomplishments in his lifetime and leaves behind a legacy of friendliness to everyone and a joy for life. He had alot of friends and will be missed. I recall his childhood full of awards, excellent grades, musical instruments, and belonging to many clubs. He attended Fletcher Academy for awhile and made friends there also. He worked at summer youth camps and inspired children to enjoy life. Eula Mae, you did an excellent job of raising your son by yourself, along with your mother’s help. May he rest in peace now and look forward to the resurrection when you will see him again. God Bless, Susan C Steele
I was so sorry to hear of Kevin’s passing. I remember him so fondly from high school band. May you find peace in the Lord at this difficult time.
We met in high school in 1981 at East Henserson High. Kevin could snap his fingers louder than anyone I had ever seen before. We met up again in Cullowhee in the late 80″s. We said good bye to alot of other friends along the way and now Im saying goodbye to one of my oldest friends…SOM. I will miss you and I look forward to seeing you in heaven. May GOD bless your family and keep your mother in his loving mercy. Your friend forever, Vicky Chapman Banks
