It is sad to hear of Kevin's passing. Although I have not seen him in quite some time, I will always remember him as a proud young man who served his country and who ended up being a role model with integrity and courage in the struggle for equality for all. His determination and honesty will always be remembered. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

I was extremely saddened to hear about Kevin. I taught Kevin in eighth grade at West Middle School and later connected with Kevin when he was leaving the Marines. I enjoyed getting to know Kevin as a young man and being able to see a former student of mine become such an intelligent productive member of society. Kevin definitely took a strong stand with equality and tolerance of fellow human beings. Kevin was, in a sense ,an educator as well. As a young " Raging Pubescent Hormal Adolescent " Kevin was the type of student you couldn't stay angry with in class when he was being the talkative young teenager. He always made me laugh. Little did I know that I would develop a friendship with this charming young man. I remember the day he convinced me to trade in my Jeep Cherokee for a Toyota Celica Convertible! He went for a test drive with me and by the end of that ride, I was driving a red convertible. I imagine Kevin knew I was going through a mid-life crisis! I embraced Kevin's spontaneous approach to life, and I will miss him. If I could email Kevin right now, I would ask him what I needed to do to shape up my life so I could see him again. My sincere condolences go out to all the Blaesings and Kevin's other friends. Kevin, you made my life brighter and I feel priviledged to have been your teacher and friend. I will miss you!

Kevin was a Great Guy! He was instrumental in helping me get started in Real Estate 12 years ago. Tyler and Myself will always remember Him as I am sure many others will. In this life as long as someone remembers you, your legacy lives on, as Kevin's will surely do!

Kevin is loved and will be missed. I met Kevin over 20 years ago when he was stationed in Charleston as a young proud Marine. I also, had the honor to accompany him to the Edward R. Murrow building and watch when he did a news speaking engagement for Don't Ask Don't Tell. He amazed me with his professionalism and conviction at such a young age. Kevin was always willing to help a friend and had not changed at all over the years. Last weekend, Kevin, Ernie and I went camping we all had a fantastic time just hanging out around a campfire telling old stories. I am very grateful for every moment Kevin shared with us. I cannot say it enough; Kevin is loved and will be missed.

Although I did not know Kevin well, I tremendously respected him as a leader. He gave 110% to everything he did and to whatever task he was assigned. Being new to this company, I was blessed with the opportunity to train with him for a couple of days. Everytime I think of those days with Kevin, it always makes me laugh. I remember Kevin sharing that he struggled to get anywhere on time because he was so easily distracted; a trait we both shared. I remember teasing him about his appearance because he looked like he should have been a model for GQ magazine. Not one spiked hair out of place nor one wrinkle in his pants. If you knew Kevin, he was always dressed impeccably. Kevin was the type of leader that knew how to hold his team accountable yet also knew how to teach and coach his team to a level of excellence. He took the time to become acquainted with every member of his team. Each person was important to him. Just those couple of days made a huge impact on me and I will forever be grately for the opportunity to get to know him. He shall be missed! ~Arnita Jones, DM
