I got to work with Kevin at the Olive Hotel! He was a good man. His love for Rock n Roll was the most obvious thing about him! Of course, he had very good taste in the tunes he preferred to listen to. He will be dearly missed. My deepest sympathy to his family…
M J Crandall says

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in Jesus words at John 5:28,29. There Jesus promised a resurrection of our loved ones, saying that the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. These resurrected ones will inherit the earth, as Jesus spoke about in Matthew chapter 5. Then, under the rule of God’s Kingdom, they will enjoy life the way God originally intended, in perfect health with no sorrow, pain or death. (Psalms 37:29. Isaiah 33:24. Revelation 21:4). What a wonderful time that will be! If you would like to learn more about this hope, please visit jw.org. Please accept my condolences.

Kevin was a good person. Loosing him hurts but remember that he is no longer suffering in pain. He has been reunited with his father and his grandparents who passed away before him. Find peace in the fact that he can say hello to them again and make jokes.
My condolences go out to all his friends and family. My heart breaks for all his surviving family; especially his amazing children Odessa Corson, Katelyn Gray, (little) Karen Gray, (little) Kevin Gray, Kyle Gray, and Kris Gray, his beautiful granddaughters Hannah and Zoie Corson, his mother Shirley Crandall, his sister Allison Kauffman, and his brother Dustin Gray. I even send my thoughts and prayers to Wendy Grenz and Karen Gray, because even though your marriages didn’t last you both shared a huge amount of your life with him, loved him, and the fact that he is gone has to hurt you as well. Please morn his loss but also find peace in it because that is what he would want you to do.
If I forgot anyone I apologize. There are a lot of names to remember.

To Kevin’s family; It has taken me a long time to say anything. I have been pretty much in shock , like so many others am sure.Kevin was a great rock – roller, he could fix anything!!! I pray during this time and through the grieving process that all of you are finding some Peace, & the Comfort from above. I know that he is still looking after all of us and will always be there to help us, guide us, and watch us trying to fix something that he could of had done before we even start on it. I can see that Smile and hear him going ” What in God’s name are you trying to do! ” He was my go to guy when I couldn’t figure something out on my computer , or if I lost something even when I thought my pc was crashed! He would fix & then say ” Look Vic don’t touch this and don’t do that plus I fixed your desktop to make it easier for you! ” Then I would take it home and 8 times out of 10 I was calling him again that evening.Lol He would just laugh at me. I Miss his being and being able to give him a holler or a hug . Lanny my heart goes out to you ; I know the 2 of you loved each other very much, and am so sorry I wasn’t here when he left you but please try to remember he stays by your side every moment. Our world is now a different circle without him. I love you Kevin and may you still smile , and look down on me and others when we are doing something that you know is not going to turn out right !Test in Peace Kevin you are now sitting with the Greats of music having your own personal concerts while earning your wings! P.S. Every now & then let us know your around!
