| 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.
