R.I.P. Kevin007

So I get a phone call this moring around 9 am from a member ,

It saddens me to hear that Kevin has passed away from cancer ,

Most of you guys know him with the red 2004 on Spray ,

We spoke many times in the pass and I rarely seen him post these past months on either fourms.

R.I.P. Kevin , you inspired everyone to go fast and you were the first to do big things in the A34.

I am schocked to hear this news. Tang called me, woke me up with it. I was given the pleasure to meet him and let me tell you, the man was funny. He was just as excited to meet me as I was to meet him. It was during the 2008 East Coast 6th gen meet. I believe he has video's online. Kevin you will be missed and above all, keep the rest of us safe out there!

I think Chern would be the closer , if Chern can shine some light on this

If his family wishes set up an account for paypal for us to send them money for the funneral/ flowers.

Kevin was a very very helpful guy to the .org and 6thgenmax and nycmax.

I only got the chances to speak with him, and never got the chances to meet him.

I never really talked to him, but have read a lot of his posts. What he did with his cars was an inspiration to many of us. He is a humble person to not let his sickness be known. Kevin, may you rest in peace.

My thoughts and condolences are with his family. As a cancer survivor myself, I want to remind all of you that have it in your famliy to make sure you are all tested/evaluated by your doctors. Most cancers can be taken care of if caught early.

That sucks, Kevin and I spoke often about mods and repairs and raced at Capitol and MIR as well as hooked up at shows and meets. We hooked up one time so I could bring him a part he wanted and he made this VID of my ride. I am truly saddened and hurting right now...

I had this Picture of Kevin at the Gathersburg, MD 6thGenMaxima meet. RIP my bro...

He reminds so much of my step dad who died last year of colon cancer. It spread all though out his body before he knew it was cancer. Doctor said he had three months to live and he was right. I couldn't handle watching that and still try not to think of it. He wanted to come home and died with us around him at home. Had a crash course in life. He looks just like him.

Wow! It is always sad to hear of people leaving this world, especially when they were dear o some of us. My regards to the family and may his soul rest in perfect peace. I never knew him, but I have seen some of his videos on youtube. I will say we loved his company, but God loved him more. Maybe he is in heaven moding some Maximas too.

Save journey to you, KEVIN!

Death is a really sad thing. My older brother, 36, no kids and was living in Germany for 9 years died in febuary from a heart attack. I still have not fully recovered from his death. So, I feel for his family.

From my family to his, MY HEART FELT CONDOLENCE.

Please, if there is any fund set up I will contribute to it.

I also viewed some of the videos taken by Kevin.

My heartfelt sympathies and condolences to all those who know Kevin, his family and friends. I propose a toast to Kevin...May your next journey be filled with happiness and good times and to all those who knew you may we be all trully blessed with your sense of fair play and humour! Here Here!

R.I.P.!

I lost my Mother-in-law to Alzeihmer's this past June...She was 84 just shy of he 85th. She died of dementia, basically forgeting how to swallow food. I also lost my cousin in Istanbul, Turkey due to a heart attack, he was one month older than me; 53 years.

Cancer sucks, I hope we find a cure one day.
