Greg & Sue Watkins (Greg is Raylene’s brother and Sue knew Byron at the dealership years ago plus my family was in the square dancing with Byron’s family).
Our Prayers and condolences
Teresa, Elizabeth & Caylon,
So sorry to hear this, as long time friends of the family, we’ve had the pleasure of watching Kevin grow up and into the warm and kind person he was, always a smile and respectful of others, we feel so blessed to have known him and watch him build his own family. Until we meet again my friend, rest in HIS peace. Sincerely, Jody and Sheli Morris
