Although I’d lost touch with Kevin many years ago, after we graduated from WHS, I fondly remember him for his sense of humor and conviviality.
His passing saddens me, and I’d like to extend my family’s prayers and thoughts to Kevin’s at this time.

We are thinking of you all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. Kevin was such a kind, wonderful and thoughtful person. He will be greatly missed. Love from Tina, Mike and Nicole Helmick.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin only a few times in my life, and he was really one of the special guys. He was married to my cousin Luann (Dixon), I remember years ago, their family went to Darien Lake for a vacation camping, and they forgot there tent. Well, Luann and Kevin looked us up and all we had was a little blue pup tent, and they lived in it for a week. We had a great time that evening, I remember they came over for a cookout, one of the best times I spent with any of my cousins. He will be missed a bunch. Take care Kevin, and also Luann. Mary and I send our love and condolences.
