Kevin's parents ask that in honor of their son, you perform a random act of kindness in his name.

There will be a funeral mass on Saturday September 12 at 2:30 at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in Louisburg. If you plan on attending, please dress casual as my Kevin hates getting all dressed up. 

Arrangements are by Strickland Funeral Home & Crematory, Louisburg, www.stricklandfuneralhome.net.
