August 7, 2018 at 5:33 pmMy friend, I had hoped to see you in the future with your son on the Eagle trail. Thank you for teaching me to never doubt what a Scout can learn and do. You proved to me you had everything I hoped you would learn. Kevin we loved your goofiness as well as your fun side. Give Emily a big hug for me and tell Cindy I miss her.

August 7, 2018 at 6:23 pmDear Mr. and Mrs. Silva and family.
I am so sorry to hear of Kevin’s sudden and unexpected passing this past weekend. No words can take away the hurt you feel or the tragic loss you have to contend with but I want to say something. Kevin was one of our associates at ThyssenKrupp Materials/Copper and Brass Sales division. Kevin was a great employee and very well liked by everyone he worked or came in contact with (including me). I personally will miss Kevin’s polite good manners and helpfulness. He was a true company employee and friend to all. He went out of his way to help others learn their jobs and do good work too.
I’m sorry for your loss and Kevin can never be replaced however let’s hope his time on earth inspired others to be as good as they can be.
My very best wishes to your family and Kevin’s friends,
Jim Baber
Vice President

August 11, 2018 at 2:08 pmThere are only a handful of people we meet in life that are liked almost every person they come into contact. Kevin was one of those people for me, and I’m thankful that nearly every memory I have of him involves laughter, often uncontrollable fits of it.
