    My 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.

    Dear 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

    I just can’t believe he’s gone. Such an amazing human being taken from this world. So very sorry Betty, Moose, Melanie and Tammie. He was so loved and so full of love. I guess its Amandas turn to have him back. Prayers and hugs.

    There 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.

    Dear Family of Kevin,

    My heart breaks for you and I want you to know that Kevin and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Kevin was my brother’s nephew whom I got to know through family parties and other events. He was funny and kind and will greatly be missed. May God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time.
