Kevin was an avid dog and cat lover, he loved spending time with his Gram Carol, his trips to North Carolina to be with his mom and spending time with his dad.

Kevin's parents ask that in honor of their son, you perform a random act of kindness in his name.

There will be a funeral mass on Saturday, Sept.12, at 2:30 at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in Louisburg. If you plan on attending, please dress casual as my Kevin hates getting all dressed up.
