I first knew Kevin from the seventh grade when I sat beside him in one class. He was very shy. When the teacher called on him, he always knew all of the answers to the questions. I bumped into him at the hospital in the early part of 2019. I asked him how he was doing. He told me he was ill and was there for a cat scan. I asked him
If he would stay for lunch, but he preferred to take it home. We became close friends. He spent a few holidays with us and would occasionally stop by our house after coming back from an auction. Once he was comfortable, he would ask if my husband would help him bring some things that he got at an auction. When Covid hit, he got lonely and got a job at Giant Eagle as a personal shopper. Even though he was sick, he never called off. He brought me a couple of really nice things from an auction as a gift. I asked him why he got them. He said because you always let Scott do things for me. There was nothing that Scott wouldn’t do for him. Kevin you may have thought we were helping you, but you were helping us by bringing joy into our lives. Kevin you may be gone , but you will live in our hearts forever. Your quiet demeanor and kindness affected your friends very deeply and we will always remember you.

I met Kevin 5 years ago at Salvation Army in Alliance. At time I had a mower business. After striking up conversations with him(he’s quiet) He asked me & friend fix his wower which we did. Year later I helped him do concrete work along his drive at No charge. He gained my trust & would even call me past couple years. Most amazing thing is I led him to the Lord JESUS CHRIST in the final months of his life. I actually visited him at Bellaire assisted living several times In Aug. Actually prayed with him & gave him a hug 12 hours before he went to Heaven! So glad God put him in my life if just for a short season. We Both loved Auctions so that often was a point of conversation. RIP. Buddy 😇💕😇 Jim B

I knew Kevin basically during my lifetime. His parents' built next to my parents just about the time Kevin was born. Kevin was one of the Alliance school system's A- students. He then achieved a B.S.M.E. from Case Western Reserve University. Kevin and younger brother Andrew enjoyed their childhood but like many of high intelligence he was not one to be part of a gang of kids - kept a lot to himself. We did interact however - as neighbors of about the same age. Kevin was a collector / accumulator, some would say hoarder. I helped him get started on e-bay though. A fire at his personal residence some years ago was not structural but did enough damage internally. Seriously, I will miss seeing this once long-haired stickman venturing around his property. Whether he knew it or not he filled a place in my life too.
