Chuck, Imogene, Jeff,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of hour son/brother. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I have such good memories of Kevin as a teenager learning go play the French Horn, and then mastering this instrument. He was a talented and well-respected musician. Know that Kevin left a music legacy with the Kellam HS Band, the Southern Knights, and at First Baptist Church. Kevin’s music spirit will live on in the hearts of many fellow musicians forever.

Dawn, Trevor, Tanner, Mr and Mrs Warren, and Jeff I am heartbroken by this. I have lost more than my best friend, I’ve lost my brother. I Love you all like family and I’m so sorry Kevin’s gone. I miss him already, Christmas,Halloween, and Busch Gardens will never be the same again.
Dear Dawn, Tanner, Trevor, Mr. & Mrs. Warren and Jeff, my sincere sympathy to you during this time. Kevin was a great person, friend and musician! Wonderful memories of playing together at FBC Norfolk over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Dear Warren Family,
We were deeply saddened to hear of Kevin’s passing. The Hickory Track Staff and Team always knew Kevin to be kind, caring and supportive. The track and field community is closely knit and Kevin’s presence will be missed. Our Pole Vaulters, especially, had a chance to be around Kevin extensively and feel tremendous sadness. Personally, having spent a great deal of time around Kevin, I will miss him as well. He was a fan of the sport and it was obvious that his athletes were well prepared, but beyond that, you always knew he wanted all the athletes, not just the Kempsville kids, to perform well. We knew Kevin to be a good man and will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Sincerely, on behalf of the Hickory Track and Field Team,
Patrick Troia
Head Track Coach
Hickory High School
