I was very saddened to hear that Kevin had died and my thoughts are very much with you at this time of great grief. My lasting memories of Kevin are of a small fair haired boy playing in the garden with his brother Stephen.
Take care of yourself Deanne,
Auntie Thelma

Your smile.... That's what I will remember the most about you Kevin... When I first meet Kevin I didn't know what always caused that smile or the laughter that often followed ... It could have been the fact that he proudly once told me that he never paid more than £10 for a pair of shoes or the fact that he had a natural love for adventure....
... But having had more time to understand him, I learned more every time that it was the love and belief in his family and close friends that kept the smile firmly in place....he was so proud of everybody and if he did only spend £10 on shoes... I knew firmly that he was saving it for his loved ones.....
So Kevin, it is with this simple message I want you to know that you'll be missed in ways that are unique to you and when I remember you.... There's always a smile attached....
