    I have known Kevin since he became National Sales Manager for Atlantic Paste and Glue. It is not often that you meet someone and immediately form a professional and personal bond. From day one I knew Kevin was one of those guys that I was going to like and become personal friends with.

    On a professional basis Kevin and I worked very close in order for my company Univar and AP&G to both reap the benefits and neither company be harmed by the agreement.

    Kevin and I along with the National Account Manager for AP&G, Robert Stocker, always enjoyed the business side of the relationship, being serious when it was necessary to complete the order and knowing that not far away would be the beginning of the fun side.

    In October of 2012, Robert invited me to join Kevin and him on a trip to his family ranch in Laredo. We had such a blast and laughed so much that I do believe we pulled muscles in our stomachs.

    Kevin and I talked at least once a week. He was always checking in on me and my family and I would ask him about his babies at home. When he spoke of his children his eyes would light up and you could tell that he loved his children as much as any father could love his children.

    Kevin was very excitable and when we spoke he would talk 100 MPH. I had to listen very closely and at times I would have to tell him, “Kevin, slow down, my ears can’t work as fast as your mouth.” He would slow down for a while and then be right back up to 100 MPH again!

    Kevin will be missed by all those who knew him including his family, friends and colleagues. There is not doubt that when Kevin gets to Heaven God is going to have to hold up his mighty hand and say, “Kevin, please slow down because my holy ears cannot keep up with your New Jersey mouth!”

    Fairwell my friend, you will be missed. I love you and I will see you again one day. Rest in peace my friend.

    I will always remember a big smile and a hearty “Coop” when he would see me. Kevin was someone I always someone I would look for at our industry meetings and it will be very different without him. While he will be missed he left a lasting impact and it is the impact that matters most. To a great guy.

    My deepest condolences to the entire Keane family. Kevin, or Mic, as we used to call him whenever he came down to South Texas will be missed by all who came to know him either professionally or in a different venue. His love for his children always showed beyond all things when asked how his children were doing.

    I have lost a great friend but I can never lose the thought of the wonderful times we all spent together hunting or fishing.

    Thank you, Kevin for the many wonderful memories.

    We will miss you. Rest peacefully my old friend.

"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!!"
