Kevin joined the Army Reserves in May, 1990.
He was sent to Ft. Bliss, Tx. for his bootcamp. Then from there
to Aberdeen, Md. for further training. After graduation from AIT
Training in Md, he came back home.
During the 1991 Gulf War, Kevin's unit had orders to go to the Gulf.
Kevin went to Heaven two weeks before his unit shipped out.
He loved his Army duty, and had said he wanted to join the full
time army after college. The music playing on this page,
God Bless The USA, is the song that was played at Kevin's
bootcamp graduation at Fort Bliss, Tx.in May, 1990.
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on.
Cherished memories never fade
because one loved is gone.
Those we love can never be,
More than a thought apart,
for as long as there is a memory,
They live on in our heart...
Forever Twenty
Kevin was not only my dear son
but he was my friend too.
Everyone who met him loved him.
Never shucked a task he was asked to do.
He always had a smile for others.
No one saw him in distress.
For he never once met a stranger.
A free spirit full of happiness.
He joined the Army Reserves in 1990.
He considered making it his career.
Happiness engulfed my precious son.
The son I shall forever hold dear.
He was going to go to the Gulf war.
He was to leave in April of 91'.
Oh, little did we know it wouldn't happen.
Life would soon end for my dear son.
For on April 4, 1991, he went away.
Before he drew his final breath,
he pushed his friend to safety that day.
Sparing another mother from the sting of death.
Oh yes, he was not just my son.
He was my dearest friend.
His blue eyes twinkled like a star.
His smile lit up any room he walked in.
My son's time on earth wasn't long.
But he lived each day as it were his last.
His precious voice silenced forever...
Leaving us with memories of the past.
He lived life to it's fullest.
And taught me unconditional love.
If I learned nothing else from his life ...
Precious lives comes from only God above...
My heartache causes me to always cry for him.
If it comes to pain & tears, I have plenty.
Oh, my tears will forever flow for my Kevin ...
My son who will be forever twenty!
