In Loving Memory
Kavin HanscomPort Townsend, Washington Parents: Siblings: Click here to view photo gallery |
Kavin was the most amazing, smart, artistic, sensitive and beautiful teenager. He brought a lightness to any room he entered and put a smile upon the faces of those around him. He left so many things undone, hearts broken and lives shattered with his passing at such a young age. We, the left behind, do gather strength knowing that Kavin is watching over us, protecting us, giving us the strength and courage to face each and every new day. Kavin, my beloved son, you will be forever missed but never forgotten and the legacy that you left behind was so much greater than even you anticipated. Rest In Peace sweet child.

"Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family."
Joseph Brodsky |
It has been five years today since you left this earthly world and went on to your own journey. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you miss you or shed a tear. I will make this years tribute to you brief not because I don't have much to say but because I've said it all before. Today we laid to rest great grandpa and I know that you were there to greet him and guide him to grandma. Thank you for being the most wonderful son a mom could have the most loving brother a sister could have the most amazing son a father could have we are all better people for the 19 years that we spent with you. I love you so very much and that will never change. Please make your presence known whenever you can think of is fondly as we think of you. |
I had to look you up because even though your Mom doesn't know me, she left me the sweetest note on my son's memorial site. I hope by now you and my son Derek have found each other, and that you are all looking down on us saying, "Don't worry so much, don't you know it rocks ups here?!" But we can't help how much we miss you. Take care of each other. |
Kavin, You have now been gone shortly over 4 years and it isn't easier. Zoe and I talk about you all the time. We share stories and memories and it helps to keep you in our present life. We are not leaving you behind but instead bringing you forward with us. You are part of us as we are you. If something happens or is said that we think you would have enjoyed we don't hesitate in talking about it. When you first left us no one knew how to be when around us. They wanted to comfort us and honor you but didn't know what to say or how to act. People stopped talking about you because I think they thought it would be harder for use if they talked about you but that is the farthest from the truth. When people stop talking about you I am afraid you are being forgotten and that will never happened while Zoe and I are here to keep moving your forward. You are too much a part of us. In the beginning it did hurt to talk about you. It hurt to know that you were gone. That you weren't coming back. That I wouldn't see your twinkling eyes, mischevious smile and here the taunting in your voice when teasing your sister. You may not be physically be here with me but I feel you. You still fill my heart with love and pride. You were...scratch that...you are an amazing son. I know you thought you had so many short comings but I can honestly say the only thing I would change is that you aren't here. I know you are around us. Sometimes I can feel your presence around me. I feel your love. My heart feels full when I think of you. Zoe is so amazing. You would love her and her attitude. You would laugh at her mouthiness as long as it was directed at me and not you. I will never forget your warning..."Mom, you thought I was bad? Now that one, her, Zoe, she is going to be the problem if you don't get things in order soon" or something like that. I can't recall your exact words but Zoe loves that story. Omg...I should have listened to you more than I did...lol. You have been seriously on my mind with your 4 years being gone and 24th birthday just 2 months away, however, I was searching the web for something and as I scrolled down the results found the link for your NOPE tribute and started to cry. I think it is just one more sign that you are here and present and when you know I need a sign you give it to me. Thank you Kavin. I love you with all my heart. I wouldn't have wanted you any different than you are. I know you didn't intend for your night out with friends to end the way it did. I know that in my heart. Some wondered if your leaving was intentional and that made me sad...sad to think someone would think you were so unhappy that you would take your own life because you weren't. You were happy. You had and have great friends. Nutter Butter is still here in PT. Kenos is off on an adventure in Texas trying to find himself. Peter and Kaleigh are actually living as grown ups in Bremerton. I know your probably laughing right now but it is true. I keep in touch with Meagan and Sabrina. Disco still messages me every once in a while. Your sister Jordyn misses you as does Zoe. Dave and I tried to make things right but it didn't work out. To much had happened that couldn't be forgotten and we had to step away. I know you were about Zoe growing up without a dad. You were so gracious that day when you said you knew Dave and I were seeing each other and you wanted me to know you were okay with us getting back together if it worked because you didn't want to be what stood in the way of our happiness or your sister growing up with a father present in her life. When I asked him to first leave it was a hard decision but I had told him all along that if there were ever a time I had to choose between the two of you it would always be you and that day I put you first. I know you and Dave were to talk after that and were able to build your trust and relationship with him. I am glad. I miss you and that will never change. I will always love you, talk to you, need you, miss you, think of you...you will always be a part of me...a part of us. Please continue to watch over me, Zoe, Jordyn, Forrest, Dave & Ralph. Help us know you are there. You are watching us. You will never leave and most importantly that you will be there to greet us when it is our time. I have tried to tuck you, our live and all those amazing memories away in my heart so I never lose any of them but keep me close. I look foward to seeing you again. All my love and heart to you, son. Kavin Lorand Hanscom ... mommy loves you. Did you pay attention and see that I changed my name from Michelle Renee Moore to Michelle Alia Lorand. Do you love how I took Zoe's middle name, Alia, as my middle name and your middle name, Lorand, as my last name? One more way you and Zoe will always be a part of me. Happy early 24th birthday son. Love Always and Forever...Mommy. |
Many, many blessings to you and your family, Kavin. |
I already lit a candle for you, hun. But I was thinking about you. I miss you...I hope you can hear me when I speak to you at night. I love you, Kav. Forever and always. <3 |
Kavin you were a great person and I loved you and the rest of our family did. You were a great loving cousin. I miss you and hope that all is well and that you are resting quietly. |
my man kav, first off happy birthday, i think about you all the time man you you and tim i just wanted to say happy birthday and i love you. lukey |
Kavin, I can't believe you have been gone for almost 2 years and your 22nd birthday is next week. I miss you more with each day. It doesn't appear to be getting easier at all. As I sit here typing this tears are running down my cheeks. Dave and I are divorced now and he is living in Montana. Lexie is living with Zoe and I now and things are going okay. We are in the process of moving from our house, which is extremely hard, to grama's house. While I was sad that Taylor died just a week before you I am glad he was there to greet you and he doesn't spend each of his days looking for you like your kitty Kiki. I hope you see me or at least feel the love that is in my heart for you. Sometimes I think my chest isn't large enough to hold it all and that must be why I cry so much is because there is no room. I hope you are surrounded with the peace you so sought and deserved. I am sorry things were so tough for you and I wasn't able to see that and help you with it more than I did. Sometimes I feel like I failed you but then realize you were 19, educated, had free will and I needed to not only care for you, but me, Zoe, your dad, work, etc. Life is full of choices and some of them come with deadly consequences and unfortunately yours fell along those lines. It doesn't change how anyone felt about you. Pete gave Kayleigh a diamond ring on their 2 year anniversary and she gave him a new ps3. It is a we are not getting married ring. A we are going to enjoy our 20's rings and are not going to complicate it with a piece of paper and children, however, we commit ourselves to each other. They are so happy. You would be so proud! Well baby boy...I have packing, cleaning and moving that I need to get to and will check in again with you soon. Love to you. Mom |
Hey bro miss ya so much wish I got to now you better The first time we met was month or two before you died which was really hard for me It has been a really hard couple of months |

I still miss you.
And think of you. Quite often dear. <3 |
You don't even know me. I'm a friend of Angelika's. I talk to this girl quite a lot, and I can tell, by the way she speaks to me, that she does in fact miss you. I miss you myself. It's sad how we don't know each other. You seemed like a great guy. You still are. You'll be in everyone's hearts, forever.
<3 |

Kav,
Just wanted to come say hi. So guess what, remember how you said Mike and I's first child together would be a boy? You were right. We're naming him Ezekial Lorand and he's already just stubborn as you. LOL We miss you sooo much cuz. Thnx for watching over us all. |
We love ya Kav |
Love you kavin miss you much your loving sister Jordan |
Dear Kavin-
I had dream about you last night and all this morning. I have to say it just made me happy and very sad at the same time. It made me realize just how much I miss your presence on this earth. You are an amazing soul, full of vitality, love, and creativity. Honestly, you're one of the most amazing people I have ever met and I will never forget the impact you made on my life. It was incredible. It still is. I just want you to know I love you and think of you everyday. |
I still think about you everyday and hope that somewhere you are with me and watching over me. I love you with all my heart and there isn't a single day that goes by that i don't wish you were still here with me. Much Much love me sweet angel. |
Kavin, Just another day missing you. We are all coping in our own way. You are an intrical piece of our family...my mind...my heart...my soul. I miss you each and every day but know in my heart that when I see you again all of the time and pain will just melt away. With love, all my heart and every ounce of my soul I look forward to again holding you in my arms and sharing our mother/son love and bond. |
Kavin my dear boy not a day goes by that I don't see your smiling face when I close my eyes. I hold your favorite shirt and it still smells of you and I hear your voice as clear of day tell me you love me. I hope you hear me each time I talk to you which is quite often. Keep close my son and guide me, take my hand and keep me safe, watch over Zoe and let her feel your presence, stay close to Dave and let him know you are near, give Ralph peace of mind that you are okay and will see him again. I love you sweet child and hope that you are surrounded in peace and love and are completely free of pain and worries. xoxoxox MOM |
Will be a year in 4 days. :( |

Kavin, Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. You continue to be one of the loves of my life and I try to focus on all that we shared instead of all that we are missing. Continue to watch over me and guide me through life and give me a sign, if you can, that you are listening. We all miss you and hope that you know how much you were loved, liked and respected. I hope you have the peace you were seeking. Love ya now and forever. |
We all love you |
We all love you |
you always were and always will be in my heart |
I've been waiting to light this candle for too long because I wanted to say the right thing. However I realized I don't have the right thing to say and just want to share that you will be missed by so many and there is no way to understand the great sadness since you're gone. The best news is the hope of eternal life, knowing that this earth is not the end. We can look forward to meeting you again. Love to Michelle and family too who are in my prayers. |
Didn't really know u but u must have been an amazing kid because your mom is an amazing woman. Peace & comfort always, Kristy |
Im glad I was able to meet you brother. I only wish we had gotten more time to get to know each other.Love and miss you allways |

luv and miss you brother |
Kavin, You are my heart and soul and now it feels as if that vital organ has been ripped from my body. I know it is physically there still in my chest, held together by Zoe and my love for her but my heart itself feels empty, bruised and tattered. It is true that you don't know what you have until it's gone. I mean I knew I loved you unconditionally from the moment you were conceived but only that night that I left you at the hospital for the last time did I fully realize everything you were to me. You were an extention of me. We grew up together and were far more than mother and son...we were buddies and friends. We fought and argued but we also laughed, joked and had amazing adventures. Disneyland, San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Tijuana Mexico, trips to Oregon, camping, fishing, swimming, endless summers at Fort Worden and Gibbs Lake. Concerts, the puyallup fair, the carnival, the jefferson county fair, raising your dog Taylor from the time he was 2 months old and how crazy that he passed away 24 days before you just 3 months before his 12th birthday and you then pass just 3 months before your 20th birthday. Kavin, I don't know if I will ever get to the part where things aren't as hard. I don't even know if I want to because then it might feel like you are slipping even more away from me. Please continue to watch over all your family and friends and give us the strength and courage to get up each morning and put one foot in front of the other. Be the warm sun on our cheeks, the soft wind on our backs, the rain that runs down our hair. Be around us and let us know you are present when and if possible. Give us that sense of love and peace that you gave us in life. Again, I expect you to be there with open arms to greet me when it is my time because you are the 1st person I hope to see. My love for you continues to grow each and every day. I agree with Megan...I don't know if Port Townsend would have been ready for Davin Edward and Lauren Kiwi...but the two of you would have been. I guess that will be for your next life. xoxoxoxox Love now and forever...Mom |
I miss you. |
forever loved by us |
Kavin, I have so many things I want to say. I just don't have the breath to say them all. I miss you so much. Every day its harder. Not easier like everyone says it is. I love you!!! |
R.I.P. Kavin; I hope heaven has video games for you and little David. I hope you're in a wonderful, happy place. |
We will miss you! R.I.P <3 |
Kavin, today was our first winter family trip to the snow without you being here to ask if you wanted to go. I cried on the way down the mountain thinking about how many more 1st I have yet to encounter without you. We've already had my 40th bday, 10 year anniversary, change of summer to fall, halloween, trip to the mountains and next week Thanksgiving. I know I still have lots to be thankful for but it doesn't really feel like I yet can be thankful but know I need to focus on the positives to make it through...like the 20 years of memories I do have of you including the pregancy. We did so much in your almost 20 years of life and I have a hard time just focusing on what we did and find myself flooding myself what we still had to do and the limitless possibilites that the future held for you...and me. I feel you around me and that makes me both happy and sad. My counselor said...why not just accept that he is there and be happy and yet I hold back because I would like to see you and hold you. I feel cheated and wish that we had so much more time together. Please keep watching over your families and friends and give us the strength to push forward so that we might accomplish all we need to in this life before we meet you again. When it is my time I expect you to be standing there waiting with a warm embrace to welcome me to the other side like I did for you when you first came into this world on 11/06/89. Kavin Lorand Hanscom I love you with all my heart and that will never be past tense. That love will remain strong and true and something unique between me and you. |
Life...live it to your fullest, and love everyone! It is an unpredictable ride. |
I found a great quote for this situation.
“Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.†-unknown |
You are dearly missed and loved by hundreds. Your parents are the most loving, caring, honest and truly great people I know, though we don't know why you were taken from us, knowing you were born into an amazing loving family soothes our hurt and comforts our hearts. Your mom {Michelle} is one of the most inspirational, real, truly kind people I know. I also am lighting this candle for the family of Kavin, as they are wonderful people! |
In loving memory of your young life....Peace be with you and those closest to you |

It's so comforting to know, that our loved ones are resting in peace and the next thing they will know will be a world where all the pain and suffering will be no more, no more sickness or death. The bible says " God will satisfy the desire of every livin thing" See you there!! |
Your birthday came but no celebration iastead of a pumpkin pie with three tubs of whipped creme I looked upon the photos of birthdays past. I love you much and always will my heart is sad with the loss of you. My spirit candle is all but out my soul now hollow my eyes sadden. May the warm winds always blow at your back and carry you thru this new journey. Wish I could be there with you, someday. All my love forever and always love forever De Tasuiwa till I come home to rest we will share hearts. |
My heart goes out to all in your family...
Many Blessings to you Michelle |
Keep the faith Michelle. I believe Kavin's legacy will live on in what you are doing. |
im so sorry it wasnt your time to go you will always be with us in our thoughts and prayers |
A candle for you, Kavin. Always enjoyed our talks. A special soul, you are. Reach out and help others if you can. We'll meet again someday. Your favorite P.O. |
i light this candle out of love and grief. I will hold your memory dear to my heart always. |
The tears still come but the words are lost. You will always be our other by a different mother. We miss you CAVEMAN. |
Kavin, I watched you struggle, poise an attitude, saw the indecision.............. but never doubted that you would grow into yourself. Never thought that the opportunity to shine through it would be taken from you & from your family.
To ANYONE that thinks it will not happen to you, it happens in the blink of an eye.
Many blessings to you Michelle, you are in my thoughts. |
From one SCORPIO to another... Happy Birthday!! |
It seems to say on here that everyone thought kavin wasnt happy.
HE WAS HAPPY.
I Spent EVERYDAY with kavin[[no joke ask michelle]]
he was the happiest young man ive ever met and thats why i fell for him so hardly.
I Loved You Kaivn, and Everynight io loved hearing how much you loved me and how you felt about.
Its hard because we hurt a friend (ethan) inbetween all of our confusion.Everysecond i spent with you was the happiest days of my life. Ive Been Dreaming Of You, Still.... Like I Always Did.
Mostly The Dreams Were When You Were By My Side, But Now, The Dreams Have Continued Even When Your Gone,
The Dreams Have Changed In A Greater Way, THen Id Have Ever Imagined.
Im Sure Our Life Together Would Have Gone On For Ever. Drinking Rockstars and making tofo taco salad.
When I was Next to you, I Never Wanted To Leave, And You Wouldnt Let Me Leave.
Even If I Was Outside Smoking You Would Txt Me From Bed, " Where'd You Go Brio Bear"
"Im Outside KavKav Come Here:]]" You Would Be THere In Seconds Sitting Next To Me Wondering How I Slept.
And Id Always Reply The Same " Perfect Cuz You Were Right NExt To Me"
Your The Only GUy I Cared About Kavin. EveryGuy Ive Ever Been With Hurt Me. But Kavin You Would Kill Them If THey Were Mean TO Me. I Love YOU/
forever ill be here waiting till that one special day when i can join you there and do all the things we once did mario kart inttill we fall asleep playing it.
cuddling in my bed watch jerry springer.
swinging at the park for something to do.
Finding Trails.
Going to QFC and Drinking Amazing Tasting Root Beer
Cinnimon Toast Crunch.
I MIss You More Then Anything Baby.
One Day When Im By Your Side Again. Ill Tell You That
Straight to You.
Even Tho I Have I Feel I Need To Tell You Again |
Kavin, my dear, I love you and miss you with all of my heart. I wish you had known how many people cared so much about you. Maybe you wouldn't have been so lonely or felt invisable if you had only known. Everyone tried to tell you but because you didn't believe in yourself it prevented you from believing us. Yesterday was your 20th birthday and it seemed so hollow and meaningless not being able to wrap my arms around you and hold you tight. You must have felt all the love in the air yesterday as texts, emails, prayers, love, tributes and candles were lit in remembrance of you and your birthday. The rain that fell so hard at 2:29 p.m. which is the time of your birth felt to me like your tears as you were over joyed with how much everyone cared about you. Me, dad, Zoe, Cellery, Alex, Callie, Madi, Lexi, Peter and Jake all ate birthday cake as we remembered you and today Ethan had his piece. Kavin I feel you around me and it gives me comfort and peace. Thank you for surrounding us with your love and letting us know you are OK. We can't change the fact that you are gone but we can use your story to prevent more young loved ones like you from being taken too soon due to wreckless behavior and lack of education. I will not personally know each time someone chooses not to use because they have heard your story and have seen my grief but I hope you will. I will not know each time someone's life has been saved because of the signs of overdosing that taught but I hope you do. You were my first born and only son and nothing will ever change the way I feel about you and the amount of love I carry in my heart. I wish you peace...love Mom |
Kavin Lorand,
You Knew How Much You Ment To Me.
And I KNOW Howw Much I Ment you.
Walks at night for no reason at all.
Picking Sun flowers for your mom.
Going to get you new classes.
Staying Up at night to watch your favorite movie(Rattituli) and thirteen and cuddling on the couch.
staying up all night just talking because, well your the only one who understood me. you helped me with my problems and i helped you with your. you kept all of our friends together, not a single person who hung out with us still hang out. the loss of an amazing young man was a loss of a life time. |
You are missed! |
I did not know you,your grandma would talk about you. She told me all the time what you had done to put a smile on her face.. but that was easy, when ever she spoke of her grandchildren that smile & twinkle would shine.. |
There is a destiny that makes us brothers: none goes his way alone,
All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.
Cousin you will be missed by many. |
I remember you most in your boy scout uniform, your happy disposition, sparkle of mischief, and Mom's great smile. |
Kavin today and everyday I think of you constantly. You were my handsome hanscom and I loved everything about you. The natural color of your hair, which I almost forgot, not too dark not too light not to curly not to straight. The amazing depth of your blue eyes. Long lashes that every girl wanted. The fullest sofest kissable lips. Your smell which was a mix of boy, man, bubble bath and AX body spray. Your flipper laugh you inherited from Ralph. Your dimples you inherited from me. You wit, talent, musical ability and love of language. I imagined visiting you and Steve while you lived in Japan and all the ramen we would eat and sites we would see. I looked forward to owning volumes of your published poetry. I am in the process of putting together a volume called Epic Adventures that will be a compilation of all your works, quotes that represent you and the pictures of you when you were the happiest. I hope your friends will purchase copies and the proceeds will go towards the non profit corporation I hope to start called Kavin's Korner that will through your story will hopefully educate and save many young lives. You finally came to me in a dream. You looked amazing and honestly happy. Your eyes sparkled with life and nothing held you back. You wouldn't let me approach you as if to say it wasn't my time but you were there just to reassure me that you were okay and for that I thank you. |

I carry you around in my heart every day. Today's your birthday and the sadness is overwhelming. But what you left behind within each of the people you touched throughout your life is thought, perspective, amazement and wonder. Happy Birthday my Godson...I love you |
Happy Birthday Kav, I miss you man. I miss our talks and playing wow with you. I think about you everyday, when i'm bored I find myself thumbing through my phone and still have the split second thoughts of "Oh, I'll call kavin" You're were a little bro, I saw a lot of myself in you. I hope you're at peace and I'll carry you with me through out my life. |
Happy Birthday.
Everyone misses you.

So, I've been staring at this site for the last couple of days, wondering what to write. I was so pissed at you for being so reckless and leaving us so soon, when you had so many plans for your life. I was so pissed at you for the hurt, heartache and tears that you caused. I kept thinking the next time I would see you I would ask you what the hell you were thinking. And then it would hit me - oh ya, I'll never see him again. Then, you came to me in a dream. You hugged me and smiled at me (like you did the first time and every time you called me Aunt Jon LOL) I can't remember what we talked about, but you told me you were ok, I remember it left me with a good feeling, a peaceful feeling for you. You told me you loved me, gave me a big hug and then looked at me with that shy wonderful goofy smile. I woke up with tears in my eyes, but I knew you were Ok. You've have left us to start a new adventure. |
you will be loved forever |
I am so sorry that I did not get to know such a a beautiful person. My heart goes out to Michelle and her family. I think about you daily. |

Dearest Michelle, Dave and Zoe,
I've tried a couple times, not sure if it's worked so I'm trying again.
I'm thinking of you all so much today on Kavin's birthday. Just wishing I could take on some of your pain to make your load lighter. If there is anything I can ever do, don't hesitate. The previous list still stands from housework to babysitting to landscaping to massage to anything else you can think of. :)
I am sending positive energy your way.
Love always,
Annie |

In loving memory |
dear kavin-
I am thinking about you on your birthday and everyday...I love and miss you dearly. |
Miss ya man |
In loving memory |
too young to leave, a life not lived... a memory rememberd, and lives saved because. |
The hole that was created in our hearts by you leaving us so early will never be filled. I can only pray that others will learn and not be taken from us also. |
Kavin, you were the funniest, sweetest dork I ever knew. Even when you drove me nuts, I loved you. I miss you and hate that all of this is past tense. |
You were the reason for many things I have done, video games, rootbeer floats, snickers bars, some of the books as well as the weapons I have boughten. I even designed the first Tat and was to put it on you partly in honor of your 20th Birthday which is a couple days away. I will hold you forever in my heart and always with all my love but never again in my arms. For that I cry but for knowing you and you giving me the honor to be "GRAMPS" that is a Badge of honor I will always cherish. I look forward to once again meeting and walking shoulder to shoulder as I always said YOU were always a Mosier, heart, soul and spirit. Forver then my Flying Raven till we meet again rest in peace and know you were greatly loved and truely missed. Within me now is an empty spot that will never be fulfilled one that once YOU occupied. I love you yesterday, today and tomorrow forever you will be with me. I hope you have found the peace you sought. Forever and always "GRAMPS" |
" 'Tis better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all. "
I love you. Happy Birthday (Tomorrow) November 6th! Miss you dearly! |
There is so many people that come into our lives and truly touch our hearts and souls, let us love and care for one another while we have eachother he will be missed |
It is so unfair that death should have the power to take Kavin away, someone I loved. When it happened, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold can be most difficult to bear.
The Bible for me holds out a hope.
The Scriptures promise, that it is possible to be reunited with Kavin in the near future right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions.
To believe in a promise, you need to be certain that the one making the promise is both willing and able to fulfill it. For me there is no doubt that Jehovah and his Son are both willing and able to fulfill it. Jesus Christ promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful conditions.
Kavin will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and he will never have to die again.
Let me tell you my favorite Bible text. For those who are grieving maybe some of these scriptures will also help you.
“Blessed be . . . the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation.â€â€”2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.
“Just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.†(John 5:21, 28, 29) |
Kavin where to begin. We were friends for a few years and best friends for the last. I trusted you the way I trusted no one else. We had our share of disagreements but we always came through for each other. I wish I could have one last chance to talk to you, to tell you how much you really meant to me. Your passing leaves a void in my life that I'll never be able to fill. I hope things are better for you right now. You'll always have a place in my heart. |
Guess I got so excited to leave a tribute I lit some candles*** Cuz I love you an always have** Peace to you** xo |
It seems like yesterday that I lost two of my sons. Their memory is very strong and deep in my heart. Just as kavin well be with you.On the 21 of Nov. Vince would of been 47. june the 19 Jeff would of been 43. love aunt Karen |
Kavin,
You and I knew that we had seen images of people, who were always smiling, perfect looking people, who were always well dressed.
And it was hard for us to tell, if any of these people were ever sick, worried or defective. As they seemed to portray themselves as "special" people, maybe like those people we seen in movies or had read in fairy tale books.
We thought..."is this the secret of life |
"? No the secret is very simple, it is with the heart that we can see life rightly. What is essential is invisible.
With loving memories of you,
Aunt Sandi

I miss you tons.
ily <3 |
The last time I saw you, you were just the cutest, shiest little boy! I wish I could have known you as you grew up! I know you were a joy to a lot of people! I can still see your smile! |
Kavin, I was blind to the fact that you were falling into the depths of hell and you couldn't pull yourself out. If I could go back, I'd take it all away, and fly with you to a nearby place, somewhere you and I could be happy. Your voice keeps playing in my head like a record, I can still remember your smile, and the way you laughed. Sometimes I cry, wondering if it was my fault. Maybe I could've saved you, if I would've paid more attention, would you still be here? Forgive me for my forgetfulness, for the fact that I seemed to abandon you, you were always on my mind. The only thing I failed to remember, is that you were still in pain, and you needed me. I was blind, and forgive me if my words hurt you, but this is the truth behind my eyes. I neglected to run to you when I knew something was wrong, my selfish acts only led me to you when I needed a shoulder to cry on. Don't look down on me, I'm only human. But I'd take back every mistake, even if it meant me dying, to see you again. I'd give you every happy memory that belongs to me if that made it better. Sometimes I forget you're even gone, and when I think of you again, reality hits me like a ton of bricks and suddenly I feel like the world is collapsing on my chest. How easily we forget to stop and notice what's around us, and how neglectful we are when it comes to appreciating the ones who love us. Until I grow my own wings, and meet you half way, wait for me, and forgive me for my mistakes, I'm only human...'If it's lonely where you are, come back down, and I won't tell them you're name...'--Goo Goo Dolls: Name |
KAVIN I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO MEET YOU. BUT I HEARD ALL ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME FROM YOUR MOM.i HAVE KNOWN YOUR MOM FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND I KNOW SHE LOVED YOU WITH ALL HER HEART. YOU WILL BE MISSED! |

I am so sorry I never met you, you sound so much like someone who would be a treat to know. You have so many people who loved you, you left us all way too soon, you were way too young. We are not suposed to out live our children, that hurts worse than anything that can happen to parents. We hope you are in a better place and happy. Carol and Pat Plaster |
Kavin, May you spread your wings and soar and your spirit live on through those of us who loved you. We are blessed to have a guardian angel such as yourself watching over us. |

The untimely death of any child is always a very difficult one for the parents to bare. My pray is that God will look upon his life with the tenderness he gave to this world. May you rest in peace, Kavin. |
such a sad day for your mama and everyone that loves you, maybe someone can at least learn from this tragedy... i know you will always be loved & missed. |
In life you were loved by many. In death, you are missed by many! |

What a tragic outcome for such a sweet young man. |
I miss you a lot =/
I wish it had never happened.
ily <3 |
You are greatly missed. Aunt Sandi |
Kavin
You are greatly missed. |
Life sometimes seems so unfair...to lose someone so young. I know Kavin is sooo greatly missed. My daughter Staci and Kavin grew up together. I recently visited her and held her so close. I can't even imagine the pain his family has endured. |
I miss you so much Kavin. I think about you still think about you everyday. Love you Lots |
You are very missed and loved |
what a beautiful soul..love you |
Your smile could brighten a room. Your laugher could soften the heart. You are missed by many. |
I so regret not being around more the past decade or so. I missed out knowing you all better. Still, the love is real. Anything I could do to help, please ask me. Hugs and kisses to you all!
Annie |
You are with me in my heart and mind each and everyday. I struggle to make sense of your passing but know you are no longer struggling or hurting. I love you with all my heart - Mom |
