Many of us on the board got to meet Kevin in Chapel Hill. Although the disease already had a grip on him he was able to get us all laughing and to give us hope. He fought so hard, trying all kinds of drugs and combinations to win his battle. His biggest concern was his son. My heart goes out to this family.
Kevin helped many on this board. A true warrier. A toast to you my friend.

I'm saddened to hear of another loss to this horrid disease. My thoughts go to his family.
I'm just so damn sick of it. People should not be dying of cancer in 2010! We need more treatments that help more people.
I'm sorry for the vent. I'm just so sad and pissed to keep hearing of these wonderful people being taken so prematurely due to this horrible beast.

I am so very sorry to hear about Kevin. My heart is breaking for all these brave warriors who have lost their battle lately. I was afraid he had regressed because I had posted a few times on the board asking about him. I pray for his family at this difficult time that they may find peace with his passing.

I am so sorry to hear this. I know how worried he was about his son, he often spoke of him in chat. I will miss him on this board and in the chat room. What a shocking disease this is, it was just recently that he gave us all new nicknames in chat and we were all laughing with him and talking about his scooter.
Rest in pease Kevin. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family and all who loved him.

I am absolutely heartsick. I had such a nice time meeting Kevin in Chapel Hill. He was one of my only mel. buddies with leptomeningial mets, like me. I had an email from him not too long ago & he seemed to be kind of treading water. I hate that he suddenly took a turn for the worst. My heart goes out to his wife and son. He loved them so much, and fought so hard to stay with them
My world is a much sadder and emptier place today. But I am glad Kevin is at peace and pain free, finally free of the Beast that took him. Rest in peace Kevin.
Love,
Amy
