So sorry to hear about the loss of Kevin. I was lucky to get to know him this past year as he is one of the nicest people I have ever met in the liquor industry.

All we ever heard and knew of Kevin were wonderful things. It is clear the earth was made a better place with him in it, and he gave far more than he took. We should all aspire to that. Our deepest condolences to his family and Amy,

The Blackwell/Lynn family

My deepest sympathy to all of Kevin's family. He was a beloved friend of my daughter Danielle and David Curti. He left a great impact on their lives.

I had the very great pleasure of playing soccer with Kevin and Amy on a couple of different teams over the years. I wish I could recall how the nickname started, but what I do remember is that Kevin was always the first to get it going with anyone new to the pitch. Terror! was yelled across the field as a greeting, in the rare event a positive soccer moment (for me) occurred or just because. His way with the nickname was infectious and it caught on with other mates. I often wondered who the real "terror" was!
One time as a way to poke him back I called him Bill - the shock on his face was priceless as was his delayed laugh. I think I only got away with it because of our established ribbing. I will miss the fun jabbing and nickname using!
Kevin was a great human and it was an honor to have crossed paths with him.

My heart goes out to Amy, Liam and all of Kevin's family and friends. My deepest condolences at this incredible loss. My family and I are sending many prayers and love that the tincture of time will soothe you.
I want to share this Edna St. Vincent Millay quote: “Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell.”

I knew that Kevin shared a love of punk rock when he exclaimed at my NOFX beanie one time at a soccer game. So it should not have surprised me when I saw him heading to the moshpit at a Bad Religion concert. I immediately went and poked him on the shoulder. I will forever remember his doubletake and the repeated exclamation of a**hole! from his surprised grin as he pulled me back to where Amy and Liam were standing. He kept looking at us and shaking his head, and after the show we all chatted and shared a beer (non-beer for me!). Both Steve and I hoped for more (planned) punk show meet ups in the future-"Slumber" came too soon for you, friend. We will miss you!

Shocked at the e-mail I received Monday from the adult pick-up hockey group. I met Kevin over a decade ago when he started playing adult pick up hockey in McFarland. He was a great addition to our hockey group as a player and a person. We always had great conversations around music, adult beverage distribution, and of course hockey. On the ice he was as good a hockey player as was dressed. He seemed to always have a new jersey and hockey socks to match. I found myself appreciative of playing against Kevin when he wasn't on his game, as he made almost as many passes to the other team as I did for my team.
So sorry for your loss and Bayley will always be remembered within our hockey family.

My heart goes out to all the family and friends of Kevin. I didn’t know Kevin all that long, but what I did know, was that he was a great guy.
We shared the love for hockey, and both sold wine in the Madison area. It was always great to talk about work while playing hockey, and talking hockey while we were at work.
As a father of two boys myself, my heart aches for Kev’s son. My thoughts and prayers go out to all.
Another one lost way too young. 🙏🏻

My Condolences for All The People & Loved Ones that were apart of Kevin's life's and theirs. I played Ice Hockey with Kevin for about almost 10 years @McFarland Ice Arena, and he was always better than me, and always will be. He was always the best dressed and had super cool jerseys and gear. He was also one of the biggest guys out there and you never wanted to mess with him. He played a great game and was a great guy. Rest in Heaven brother, and maybe help me play better while you are up there watching the Big Game! God Bless , Love Alan aka "Rubes/Ruby".

PS- The last game I played with him on June 22nd, we got on the ice together randomly, and we also got off the ice into the locker room at the same time, and I said to him" Had enough? " and he said, no just not feeling it tonight, and said see you next week bro! Gonna miss him, will keep him in Spirit forever.

This comes as a cruel shock. I had the incredibly good fortune of knowing Bayley during our high school years. Kevin was athletic, energetic, exceptionally good looking, had an wonderful sense of humor, and a great person to be around. We kept in touch early in adult life and I was lucky enough to meet Liam shortly after his birth. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Kevin. I wish Kevin's entire family peace during this profoundly difficult moment and hope the memories you've shared provide at least some solace.
