Kevin,

A giving, determined and devoted person, you have left precious gifts in the lives of all who knew you.

Your rare gifts began while very young.  Your proud parents encouraged your abilities from youth.  Every new day was spent grasping the moment.  From bowling tournaments with Dad to motorcycle riding; pushing onward through this winding road of life with eager intensity.

As you matured, your horizons broadened and your determination grew.  Excellence was never absent from your vocabulary, as served your country in the Navy, and later developed your artistic talents through airbrush painting, underwater photography, and welding.

Becoming a fireman and paramedic was your calling selflessly devoting your abilities to repair and renew countless lives.

Through your love and dedication to others, you have saved many souls, and enriched even more.

Your celebration of life has continued through Debbie, Kyle and Forrest, in whom you have instilled your values, passion and everlasting commitment, in which your legacy will continue.

Many have been touched by your witty charm through holidays and celebrations.  Whether it be Christmas dinners with family, or trips to Alcatraz and Apple Hill with close friends, not a moment spent without comedy, entertainment and affection.

As many have seen, your powerful life has, in itself, said " I will not go gentle into that good night!"

In the hearts of family and friends you have found eternal life.
