Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Kevin Casey Kimpel who was born in New York on December 08, 1982 and passed away on May 28, 2003 at the age of 20. We will remember him forever. Kevin was loved by many and has been missed by all.  Time has not healed our hearts but given us an opportunity to learn to live with the agony of his absence.  Kevin was a kind soul, adventurous, and loving.  Most of us remember him telling jokes, listening to his music or offering us a hug.  His sudden death gave none of us time to say goodbye, but because of his larger than life presence on this earth, we all knew that we held a dear place in Kevin's large heart.

It is time that we create a legacy for Kevin through the memories of all that knew and loved him throughout his lifetime.  This website is dedicated to Kev for that purpose.  Though we will never be able to fill the void his absence has left in our hearts, we can together share our fondest memories, most treasured stories, and at times our deepest grief.  And with the same love that once put that infamous smile on Kevin's face, it will now leave a special treasure of love and a lasting legacy from all that were a part of his life.
