I'm kevin's bro-in-law.
thank everyone for your prayers and support.
this is the third time since yesterday, that I have started to reply.It's very hard to do.
kevin's passing was very UNexpected.at this time we do not know exactly what happened.when we do know, I will post that info on here as many are curious.I can tell you he was at home and died in his sleep.
R.I.P
I'm sorry,I cant continue right now.
thanks to all,
you guys were kev's family just as much as I am.

Not sure if it's been posted, but Allpar.com has a nice little tribute about Kevin.

Sorry to be slow in responding to this tragic post but I needed to take some time to regain my composure after Fred called me with the news of Kevin's passing.Kevin and I have been communicating on a regular basis,some times 2 to 3 time a day on the phone and much more in emails and PMs.He was very enthusisatic about the upcomming racing season and working with BGR,Fred and others for the match races.As everyone knows he found a home here on Moparts and was looking forward to meeting all his new found friends(family).His friendly,upbeat,outgoing and sincere personality was well recieved and respected.In just a short time he became a moparts team player,with informative,helpful,articulate, and humorous posts.We were hoping for a long lasting relationship with Kevin which now can never be.We are saddened to have lost such a friend but we are thankful to have him,if for only a brief time.Kevin will be missed but never forgotten at BGR.

Terrible news, he added a spark to the Moparts discussions. What a perfect owner for a vintage race car, enthusiastic and unafraid to put the machine back out on the strip. We will mis him.

Man this sucks.


Just met Kevin this past summer at Roxboro NC. He and Fred had a little match race going on. Helped out a little with the car.

This just seems like a bad dream.

Wake me up, please and tell me it aint so.

What a shock! Kevin caught the fever bad and brought alot of enthusiasm to Moparts and early Mopar Pro Stock history. His posts will be missed. Godspeed

such sad news. I only spoke with him once, but he had unmatched enthusiasum.


Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural
