Clearly a tragic situation, one that seems to have deteriorated even more since October. When watching this video I was optimistic that he could overcome his demons and get his life back on track. Watching these young men play the game it looks like they have wonderful lives and bright futures. We are keenly interested in them since we "adopt" them for their years in Vernon. It is hard to hear that sometimes their lives have run off the rails and they are struggling. Hopefully Kevin gets the help he needs and turns things in a more positive direction. Our hearts & prayers are with you, stay strong.
ReplyDeleteI remember kevyn from his days at B.W.C , He was a nice kid with a great family, I sure hope he can get thru this and clean himself up and get his life back in order.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching Kevyn play with the Vipers. I wish Kevyn the best of luck and hope he can turn his life around and make better choices in life for his friends and family that care about him so much! There are people out there that care about you and your health-life. Best of luck in these hard times Kevyn. Viper fans are on your side and thinking about you and your family.
