I will be offering tonight's Easter Vigil Mass in Kevin's memory. He was a great influence on my life when I served as his parish priest at St. Martin's by the Lake: Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and Your perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God,
rest in peace. Amen.

Amen.
the Rev. Dave Langille

Steve and I extend our sincere sympathy to Jacqueline and all the family. Whenever we met Kevin and Jacqueline coming or going at our winter home in Florida, even during Kevin’s illness, he was always smiling and upbeat. He will be missed. Steve and Bonnie Griffin..

I was a Fraternity brother of Kevin at Cal Poly. I have good memories of him as a genuinely upbeat, high energy good guy with an unmistakable positive can do attitude. RIP Kevin in Chapter Eternal.

Jacqueline and family
We are so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. We saw it on Linked In. We will always remember Kevin's warmth. As fellow members of St. Martins Church, we were privileged to know him and spend time with both of you.
May God comfort you at this difficult time. Grant and Patty Phillips (Mt. Pleasant SC).

Plant a tree: How does it work

When your purchase is complete, a post will be made on the tribute wall of the deceased signifying the planting of a memorial tree.

An official certificate recognizing your purchase will be included with your email receipt. You can then forward the email to the family or print it and give it to them personally.

After an order is placed, our forestry partners will plant the tree in the area of greatest need (nearest the funeral home), according to the planting schedule for the year.

Due to seasonal conditions, the tree planting takes place during the spring and summer.

Tree Planting Timeline

Orders placed in:
