Only for you will I say "WAR EAGLE"! You were more like my brother than nephew, and I always thought of you as my brother. When I got the phone call my heart broke into. I couldn't help but think that if I had not have ask you some of the things that I did you would still be here! Now I will have to live with that until we meet again. I so wished you would have picked up the phone and called me or anyone instead of that gun. We are all still in a kind of shock. There was nothing that we would not have done for you. I know you never felt like you belonged anywhere, but God gave you to us! For ALL of us to love. You have touched all of our lives in a different way, but you and I were really like brother and sister. I can't even think about life without you in it right now. I truely hope that you have finally found your peace that you have been searching for because you have earned it. For as long as I can remember you were going to buy me a motorcycle! Well when we meet again I hope you have it or at least a set of wings so we can just go anywhere we want to go. You will live in my heart forever just like Scooter! Neither one of your deaths deserved to happed, but God does have a plan. Maybe one day we will understand it or maybe we won't, but I choose to believe that you are the happiest that you have ever been, and that brings me some comfort. You will never be far from my thoughts, and I can't wait to see you, Scooter, and everyone who has gone before me, You are home now right where you wanted to be, and for that reason I'm happy for you! I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS, AND THINK ABOUT YOU OFTEN! Your big sis Pennie.

Kevin, I want you to know that you were the sunshine in my life, I am only a heart-beat away. You are locked in my heart forever and there is nothing that could ever take that away, or all the times that we shared together... and like the "Chuck Wagon Gang " sings, "I'LL MEET YOU BY THE RIVER, SOME SWEET HAPPY DAY!" love you always, Mamaw

Love and miss you. Oh, Kevin, I am really having a hard time understanding and accepting your death. I wish you would have reached out to us before you took such a final action. With the uncertainty of Dennis' possible illness and his will, want to and desire to live, I can't help but ask myself "Why? Why? Why did you do it?" I pray that God will give me peace, understanding and acceptance. I slept very little last night. I could not get you off my mind. I love you so much, Cathy

AS you can guess we are all still in shock, but our love for you will NEVER end. You have always been my baby brother, and always will be. I know you knew how much I loved you in your heart. I'm just so sorry we could not reach you in your time of need! You were loved more than you could ever know. I miss you so much, but I also know that you are in a much better place where no one can hurt you now. I hope you have found your peace that you were always seeking at the feet of Jesus. You will live in our hearts forever, and will never ever be forgotten. I can't wait until the day that we get to meet face to face again. This year just for you I will be cheering Auburn on in the Championship Game! They are going to win this one for you! I LOVE YOU FOR BEING YOU AND ALWAYS WILL! LOVE PENNIE LOVE YOU - LOVE YOU! You and Scooter can fight over the game, but for you I will be for that other team!!!

Oh Kevin, I am so sadden to hear you are gone. I enjoyed you so much as a student. Dear Megan, You don't know me but I taught math to Kevin at Springville in his 8th and 9th grade year. I saw him in Odenville just a few weeks before you were married. He was such a joyful person. I am sorry for your loss. I am praying for Kevin's family and friends to be comforted during this time.

Kevin, my heart is broken. I love you so much and cannot belive you are gone. I hope you are at peace now. No one can hurt you any more. I am going to miss you so much. Christmas was so difficult without you. I feel like I have a hole in my heart and emotionally, I am numb. My only hope is that with God's help my broken heart will mend as the days pass. Rest in peace my sweet boy. I love you, Kevin. I always will. Love, Aunt Cathy
