I am his aunt...I knew the minute i met him...he didn't want to be here...my heart...I don't know...but I want all of you to know that he was beautiful...very much so! And I feel I failed him...
I'm sorry Little Kevin for not being there for you!
Little Kevin was well loved by all. Our prayer is that his killer/s will be off of the streets immediately. God knows who shot and killed our baby and God will bring justice. Our family is not angry at whoever did this, we just want justice and we want them to know that Jesus loves them and He can turn their life around. Little Kevin is in the arms of our Heavenly Father and he doesn't have to struggle any more. We will miss Little Kevin so much. He was a good kid and had a heart of gold. I pray that whoever did this does not rest until he turns himself in to the authorities and gives his life to Jesus. Murder is not the answer, Jesus is the answer. AMEN
Kevin. Its Still Hard 2 Believe That Your Gone. I Just Want U To Know That I Loved You Very Deeply U Wuz Ma Big Brother We Had So Much Stuff To Do That We Never Did. It Seems Like It Wuz Jus Yesterday When We Were Little Kids Playn In Prince Of Peace And Singin In The Sunshine Band. Im Sorry 4 Anytimes U Needed Me But I Wuz Never There. We Never Know When Its Our Last Time To See Eachother. It Seems Like We Have 4ever But 4ever Is Really Never. I Know U Knew I Loved U Sooo Much U Were My Brother I Love U Kevin. Do Me A Favor And Keep Smilin Down Watchn Ova Me.. I Love U Lil Kev. Love, Keltii
It's kind of surreal to think that it's almost been a year since we lost you. You were my brother in a sense seein as we grew up together. Yeah I remember the sunshine band (cutting up in the back rows during church), playing Sega until our thumbs ached, arguing over who got to be the green Power Ranger, and that trip to Disneyland haha. I'll always cherish the time, however short it was, I was so lucky to have shared with you and I just want you to know I'll never forget you. Your brother and bestfriend, Nique
My cousin, He was more than that. He was my brother at heart, I will forever miss you Big Bra. I know you looking down and walking with me through these days of rough times. Speak to me when ever you want to. I know If I left before you, you wld want me to do the same. Life aint the same sinse you've been gone, Man I miss the laughing times we've shared... That was a lot of love you showed when you made It to my 5th grade graduation(on foot). Ill never forget. Believe It that I can still feel your presents. Love you always & for ever "Lil' V" aka Lil Spooky--M.B P.s Tell ma Pops I said whats up. It's been over 10 years & I still love & miss him. Man, we "Sharp Boys" 4life Ill see you In the future Bra most definately
...well, it's 3:45 am, and I'm just thinking about my son..Kevin Jr, Lil Kev, K.J., 'LiL Buddy'....I miss him more than anyone could know..but I only miss him, but God caught him in His everlasting, ever loving, Oh soooooo tender arms; we must realize that with God, nothing goes unnoticed or unseen; If God had something else for KJ to do, he would still be here...in the 'flesh'...all that he was, was ordained by his Creator.."and it (KJ) was good.."...tbc.
Well, it's October 2014 and I miss you like crazy my son... God continues to comfort and give peace. we are so blessed to have spent 20 years with you. You were such a joy and a wonderful son. Even though you had a rough time as a teenager you were still a blessing. It hurts that we did not get to see you get married and have our grand children. We had so many dreams and hopes for you... Miss your smiles, hugs, laughter... I remember how even as a young boy you were always so helpful and was quick to help me carry in grocery bags or anything that you thought was heavy.Even when you were older, you would always help. So when it gets a little heavy down here, God carries our bags... I love you and miss you so much and look forward to seeing you again one day in glory. Love Mom .
You came across my mind tonight cousin. I can feel your big hugs and gentle caring spirit. Last time we spoke I was in ahh at how tall my lil cousin got. It felt good to see the man you had become and to see you still had that shine in your eyes. You would be 30+ years old on earth and today I feel every bit of love you left here for us. Thank you for blessing my life and I thank God for taking you to rest in His peace. Dj

I am just a friend of Kevin's uncle. I live in NC and I wanted to let the family know that my heart and prayers are with them!

I thank God that Kevin knew we loved him dearly and we knew he loved us too. We will miss him, but we will see him again.
Our heart has been broken, but God is a mender of broken hearts.
Glory to God!
