You may be able to have some shirts made and give the proceeds to his family.He did a real nice job on the other shirts he had made. We would donate some money to the cause.

I haven’t been on the board in a few days but sensed something was wrong as soon as I seen Kevin’s board name next to Gary’s on the race only section. Opening up the race board confirmed it with Fred’s post. I never met Kevin, but enjoyed his enthusiasm, his posts on the board and his thirst for knowledge of our hobby and early Pro-Stock history. I was looking forward to meeting him next summer at some of the bigger MoPar events slugging it out against Fred. What a tragedy to such a young man and my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends.

God speed Kevin and R.I.P

Ed.

i was reading my local paper before seeing this and seen in the obits where he was original raised in Ironton, Ohio and was thinking the name was fimilar in my head.

for some reason i think he was a year ahead of me in high school and i didn't even know he was a memeber of this board.

i'm just totally shocked at all this.

my thoughts and prayes go out to the family during this time of need.

43 is way to young.

About the memorial, I think something will be done. As far as expecting Charlie to do it, I don't think we as a website, should do that. I'm sure he is grieving even more than 99% of us. To expect him to throw a memorial show or name one of his Classic events after him, I think, is unfair. I think good things will happen by friends of Kevins. Whether they take credit for it or not will be on them..

Too bad!

I don't spend a lot of time on the race only page, but I do remember reading some of his posts and immediately noticed how enthusiastic and friendly he was.

I never had the pleasure of meeting the man, but reading the comments on here sure makes me wish I had the chance.

Wouldnt a Memorial Race with all the proceeds going to The Ronnie Sox Foundation make him happy? Seems appropriate.

Rest in peace

Sounds like he was really enthusiastic about vintage racing, I can appreaciate anyone who thrives on what once was in the "automotive world"

Things were really interesting back then, sounds like he realized that as well and was doing what he could to preserve/live it

I didn't really know Kevin except for meeting him at Norwalk last year at the big Moparts tent get together. He was way too young for something like this to happen and it seemed like he was really starting to enjoy his new found hobby of racing and the friends that he made along the way in such a short time. He will be missed.

Same here - I still can't believe what I just read. I've had numerous email conversations with him over the past year. What a good man he seemed like, RIP sir.
