Sharing for anyone that knew Kevin….

Kevin was always such a nice guy and had an awesome sense of humor.

I remember him making me my first NOFX tape to listen to for the bus ride to school. He was trying to broaden my horizons from Wutang lol. It worked and opened me up to a bunch more cool music.

I’m sure he’ll be missed my many RIP bro
