I didn't know Kevin, but from all of the touching stories on this website, I feel like I did. I'm so sorry for your tragic loss, but I hope that you can take some solace in the fact that you really are keeping Kevin's memory alive for those of us who weren't fortunate enough to have enjoyed his company.

Ok, so I've known about (and been to) this website for quite a while now. I almost didn't want to say anything because I didn't know Kevin half as well as everyone else. But I did spend the better part of a year around him and I only wish I'd gotten to know him better. It's very true, he's impossible to forget even if you hardly knew him. My heart goes out to everyone who was close to him.

To add to jim's comment: I happened to come across america's funniest home videos tonight on the tele. You know at
the end of each taping, he left the studio, got into his car, and just screamed "MOTHER FUCKER!!!"

I saw some thing on tv the other day about Bob Saget and it reminded me of how much Kevin loved how dirty his real humor was. He liked Saget and would jump to defend his otherwise clean-cut image saying "no he's a really cool guy!"

One year later and still just as hard. At the same time, I am so blessed to have known someone that would have this affect on my life, as I know he did others. The last time I saw Kev I dropped him off and he gave me one of his crazy smiles as he got out of my car. I couldn't ask for a better way to say goodbye, for now. Love you always Kevo, never forget

A year since I changed, since my life shattered. No, be positive-Kevin himself changed me. How lucky I am to have known him, to have loved him and to have him love me in return!

Last night, while stupidly drunk, I heard Cathy and Colleen talk about Kev for hours. I couldn't join in, I knew I'd cry and mess up the whole good-memory-feeling, but listening to them was soothing in a way I can't explain. It's still a fresh and painful hurt to me, to everyone, but he's still there when we talk about him and still love him.

Last Xmas I got Jim a record player and Kev came over as soon as it arrived to find me surrounded by Styrofoam. He stood for a minute in disbelief that I was ripping open the box, but then joined in. Later it wouldn't go back together, but he somehow managed to make it work. I didn't open any boxes this year, just in case. Miss you Kev.

kevin loved halloween. i think more than anyone i had ever met. he was always so much more creative than i could ever imagine to be in putting together costumes. i think my personal favorite was his pimp outfit, all bought from goodwill.. though the robot outfit was genious too - complete with a cooler for beers! i love you kev.. you are with me always.

Kevin was great. Although his passing was sad, I can't help but smile, or laugh when I think of him. Kevin was crazy, as most geniouses are. He had a good heart, and no one could ever say they met someone like Kevin Goodwin. I only wish he could've had his own TV show.

It seems like it should get easier, but it doesn't, everyone seems to agree on that. Colleen is right though, he would want us to be happy, and it's ok to be, because even though losing Kev stole away a different part of each of us, he's still very much alive in all of us and because of that will never be forgotten.

When I first heard of this horrible tragedy, I could not bring myself to believe such a thing was true.
