I have no words to describe the loss I feel right now. I had no idea. He touched my life in more ways than I can ever say. You all knew him as skippy, I knew him as Texas. My aching heart.

I remember when we gave you the name Skippy, I can't believe it has stuck with you all these years Kevin. It has been over 20 years but hen your face popped up on my facebook wall I recognized you immediately and then it hit me. Deeply saddened, my thoughts are with his family and close friends. Godspeed bud.
I didn't know Kevin very long, but I always looked forward to him coming in to the bank and sitting at my desk. He would always have a story to tell and usually ended up staying over an hour just chatting and laughing every time he came in. He even left a few surprises in my car with a little note to say have a great weekend, he didn't have to sign it, I knew who did it. Such a sweet person!
I always knew Kevin as " Skippy" , as one of my son 's best friends. When my son died in 2001, Skippy was at the funeral. His presence meant the world to me. 14 years passed before I saw Skippy again, at my son's Birthday Bash held in Tulsa June 6th, just last month. Never would I have thought that as I hugged him " good bye" , and said " Love you" back at him, that that would be the last time I would ever see this amazing young man . Wish I would have spent more time with him , wish I would have really listened to him , and let him know I genuinely care. They say in life there are no coincidences. Maybe it's no coincidence that the man my son thought of as his brother died on the same day my brother would have been celebrating his birthday , had he not died 2 years ago. I believe Kevin is celebrating together with my son, Mike, and my brother, in a heavenly place. Peace and love to you, Skippy.
