I feel blessed to have known such a heroic young man. Kevin’s personality had a bright shine and many people deeply loved him. I will cherish the memories of the 24 years we worked together and the love we shared.

I will always remember Kevin for his zest for life, love of music, great sense of humor and determination. Kevin would have been anything he wanted to be, his self confidence and natural talent in sports and interest in so many things gave him many avenues to explore. Kevin was one of those young men you wanted to be around, his great laugh and spirit always made me laugh along with him. I’ll love you forever Kevin and look forward to seeing you again…. Love you, uncle Gil and auntie Pat.
Kevin, I will forever remember you with the smile you wore after a day at Salem Willows this summer. Your strength was evident every day my buddy. You will be so missed.
Love, your favorite nurse
I’m sorry for your loss of Kevin, even though I don’t know him, from one Brain Injured Survivor. My MVA was 1994 & I’ve lived with a brain injury since along with multiple disabilities. I spent 10 year’s as an outpatient at Spaulding Rehabilitation Center when it was in Boston. Kevin & I must have just missed each other. My heart goes out to you & your family!
Kevin, you have always been in my thoughts and prayers. Our friendship way back when was very special. Talking on the phone and all that we shared in those conversations. You will all be special to me. God bless you. Until we meet again. Our friendship when we were younger meant a lot. Always know I always thought of you. You were a great person and friend. ~ Angela
You will always be special to me I meant. 💙🩷
Kevin you are loved beyond measure & will continue to be loved and cared for as you take your place in heaven with family whom have gone before you. Uncle Kendall & Auntie Gail, you are everything parents strive to be. Boys as brothers you always stuck together through thick & thin….your little kid giggles, adventures & support of each other is a memory I’m blessed to have and know Kev felt it too. ♥️
Kevin, I miss sitting next to you in English class while you flawlessly rapped, knowing every word to every rhyme. We had some good times. You always have and always will hold a special place in my heart. -Kelley (Rafferty) Web
