Re: Emergency - Kevin8020 READ
I'm not seeing any news reports that he passed. They're now just not specifying. Hopefully those were just false reports. Praying for you, Kevin!

Re: Emergency - Kevin8020 READ
KRDO's story is the reason I came over here. I've been MIA for a while, but it's still a "family," of sorts. Travis, I hope you're doing alright, and my prayers are fervent. I'm keeping you in prayer, and I'm keeping Kevin and his family in prayer. This is horrible....and it was a day that was filled with palpable bad ju-ju in the air...

Wow....I am in complete shock. Kevin was a great kid. My thoughts are with his family.
There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

This is crushing....having spent time with Kevin on Mt. Massive a month ago he was such an awesome person. I am so heart sick. My prayers will continually be with you Travis and Kevin's family and friends.

Re: Emergency - Kevin8020 READ
Oh my god. This is unbelievably horrible and disturbing. I never met Kevin, but he just emailed me a couple weeks ago asking for photos of Massive and I shared some with him. Very nice guy ... what a loss.
Sincere condolences to his family and friends. This is painfully sad news.

I exchanged emails with him about Massive right before Memorial Day as well....Aubrey wrote:Oh my god. This is unbelievably horrible and disturbing. I never met Kevin, but he just emailed me a couple weeks ago asking for photos of Massive and I shared some with him. Very nice guy ... what a loss.
