Kevin was like a brother to me, I will miss him more than words can ever express. We often went cruzin down Valley Parkway and I remember Kevin would always secure the front seat of my 56 Chevy by saying "I got shotgun!" Well Kevin my brother, you will always have that seat with me and I will never forget you! Sending my sincere condolences to Monica, Devin and all of Kevin's family. God bless and Rest In Peace Kevin.
