How did this happen? I'm very sad to find this out after 5 years....
My thoughts and prayers go out to Kevin's family and friends at this time. Though I did not know him well, I was saddened to hear of his passing. We both graduated from Mt. Vernon Nazarene in 1996. May God be with you in your time of sorrow.
Kevin was a high school classmate of mine and though I hadn't seen him in years, I was glad to reconnect with him on Facebook recently.
Kevin was a good guy, kind and smart. It's clear he made quiet an impact on his colleagues and circle of friends with his wit and intelligence. He will be missed.
I met Kevin back in 2011 when he began working with us at Arrow Electronics. Although quiet at first, Kevin proved his value as an employee and a friend and quickly moved his way up. He tackled any task thrown at him with excellence and was a pleasure to work with. Last year I got to work side by side with him for quite some time in our repair and refurbish area and got to know him well. We talked daily, sometimes our discussions fun with lots of humor and others learning from one another. I learned a great deal about many different topics and subjects working with Kevin and always was surprised by the depth and range of his wisdom. He always had an objective, realistic and truthful approach to any situation and was never afraid to speak his mind. His insight always helped me look outside of the box to solve problems and I always appreciated his words. He accumulated a lot of friends at Arrow who both respected him as a worker and for his knowledge, but also saw him as a good friend and "one of the family" in our department. Kevin will be dearly missed but will live on in the memories of us all.
Dogs of war!!! To hear him yell that out at the Pink Floyd concert we went to was amazingly fun. A great person has gone. He will be missed.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Unlike most of those expressing their condolences here, I did have the pleasure of knowing Kevin in person. We grew up together, fellow geeks (band and otherwise) in small-town America.
But I envy those of you who had frequent contact over these last decades since he and I graduated from high school.
I was lucky to reconnect with him via Facebook, and will miss seeing his wry sense of humor. I always smiled when I'd see that he'd "liked" a post of mine- it felt like a little piece of home.
Be at peace, old friend. You'll be missed.
I never met Kevin face-to-face, but I first encountered him in an online game about 2002 or so & we have been fast friends ever since thanks to our shared love of sci-fi RPGs, Doctor Who, British & Asian culture, and music. "The world's the same size...there's just less in it now." He will be greatly missed.
I never met Kevin in person but chatted with him on the phone and via the computer many times. Whether it was telling how great Abster was, people's reaction to him wearing his red fez, or sharing photos, it was always great to talk with him. I first met Kevin online in a play be email Shadowrun game. From there he introduced me to a group that he was playing with on mIRC and opened the door to meeting many great people, some of whom I had the fortune to meet.
My world is certainly diminished by your passing Kevin but I don't have any doubt you'll now be playing roleplaying games to your hearts content (and debating silly rules).
You'll always be remembered and thank you for being my friend.
I met Kevin Clement (K C > Casey) online seven years ago when I joined an IRC roleplaying group to adventure in the world of Tékumel: Empire of the Petal Throne. I've heard people say that the setting is so complex that only Professor M.A.R. Barker, its creator, could GameMaster it properly, but they're wrong – Kevin had a genius that brought it vividly to life, and made it fun to play in too.
Kevin was not only a clever GM, but a wonderful roleplayer, creating many great personas over the years. As time went on, he became a ‘mate,' as we say here in Australia. We found ourselves sharing many enthusiasms, from history through music, science-fiction and fantasy, LGBTQ literature, British TV and radio and foreign cultures to food and drink and the pleasures of the table. He could be irritating at times, but I gave it back to him, especially when I played ‘Mom' and nagged him to look after himself...
Anyhoo (as he used to say when steering away from painful shoals) ... Ave atque vale – Hail and farewell – dear friend, my world is a little dimmer now that you've gone!
