    Kevin & his family lived down the street from us in Willow Grove, PA. I have been friends with his sister Kathy for 62 years & spent many, many wonderful years eating around their picnic table, which served as a kitchen table. We got in lots of trouble, especially, sinking Kevin’s car axle deep in the mud. while on the way to the movies. He will be sorely missed, but the memories will last forever.

    Kevin was such a positive force of light and energy. As a CPA, I talked with Kevin periodically about his business and his work. He was deeply passionate about his CFO assignments and building his business. He made a huge difference in people’s lives through his passion for hard work. Kevin will be deeply missed. Deepest condolences to his family.

    Alice and Family,

    I was so shocked to hear the news of Kevin’s passing. I was one of his directors at Rexene and American Pad. I tell people Kevin was the person most responsible for my career advancement.He instilled confidence, was a great mentor and allowed me to do my job.

    Although I haven’t spoken to him in many years he made a profound impact on my life. And what a sense of humor…it could be prickly or very subtle, but quite funny!

    He will be missed. God Bless you all.

    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Kevin. I’ve known him since the late 1970s when we shared a mutual public company client. He was new to Price Waterhouse and Dallas and I was a young lawyer. We both had offices in the same building downtown, and I have fond memories of him coming to my office at the “crunch time” surrounding SEC filings to avail himself of my stash of peanut butter and crackers. I have kept up with him over the years (although not as frequently as I would like), and he always radiated pride in his family. My sincerest condolences.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
