I feel incredibly grateful to have called Kevin my uncle, probably the kindest, wittiest, and most charming bloke I've been lucky enough to know.
Even with sometimes years between visits, it was always effortless and such a pleasure catching up with him.
I'm left with some of my fondest memories of visits & Christmasses as a kid, epic get-togethers growing up, and watching fireworks with someone who loved them even more than I do - an evening I won't forget.
Kevin was an amazing uncle, and his support and pride in me meant more than he probably knew. He'll be sorely missed, and very warmly remembered!

Alas it only have been a few times I got to meet Kevin, the honest, genuine care and interest was clear to see, hear and feel.
In those moments of rambling on about life and career progression not a flicker of inattention spun.
These moments likely meant more to me than he’ll know as it was merely second nature to him.
In a time of difficulty, detachment and isolation, the warmth of Kevin and the easy, pleasurable conversations with laughs, truly left a mark each time.
I wish life was different to experience more of these with Kevin but to say the least, it just means I’ll treasure them more.
Kevin, Pauline Oliver & Tilly

Dan and I were both shocked and saddened by the loss of Kevin. After getting to know Kevin and Karen through Steampunk and Bonfire events, I always looked forward to seeing them both in their fabulous outfits and stopping for a good chat. Kevin always made me laugh with his quick wit and cheeky humour and helped me feel a part of the local bonfire and steampunk community. I will always remember him with a broad smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. He will be hugely missed throughout Sussex for his contributions and huge presence in our community. Sending much love to Karen and the family Xx

Kevin, I’m really going to miss you at bonfire and I will be forever grateful to you for putting my dress out when I caught fire at Burgess Hill - I think I still owe you a pair of gloves!
Karen, my heart goes out to you but I’m glad you had many happy years together. Sending much love Clare.

Having just watched the service it brought back so many memories. I am fortunate enough to know Kevin through marriage. He was an amazing man. He was quirky but genuine and knew what he liked and didn't like. I liked visiting him, drinking into the early hours & having great conversations. I will always treasure those moments. Thankyou Kevin.
