We have just heard this very sad news! Please contact us with any information. This is such a shock. We just found out.
My husband Will Sargent used to work with him.
Again, we would love more information. Prayers for your family at this very sad time.
I just can’t believe this! Kevin was my audio mentor and friend. He played a huge role in helping me establish my company. Love ya Kev and you definitely shall be missed!
Kevin was one of the most clever and sardonic people I have had the pleasure to meet. He and Rebecca eased my transition into living in the South, and knowing I was always welcome at The Cradle when Kevin was working made it a home when my actual home was not so great. Like everyone else I am shocked and saddened by his premature passing.
I met Kevin and Rebecca in London about 12 years ago and kept in touch via email and then the magic of facebook. Shocking and horrible news to hear of Kevin’s passing at such a young age. My deepest condolences to you, Rebecca, and all of Kevin’s friends and family. Wishing you great strength, Rebecca, in these surely trying times.
I knew Kevin for over 6 years. He used to work around us as a contractor as a AV technician…coming and going. He was always smiling and very quiet. I used to feed him as a Cater when he was around. I also joked several times with him calling him Kevin “Costner” and made him laugh. He sure will be missed a lot! I am so sorry for the loss! Praying for everyone on this very difficult time. RIP Kevin!
I have known Rebecca and Kevin since our days in East Lansing. Rebecca was my roommate, when Kevin entered the picture. What an amazing person! He would take me to concerts, and taught me about music. Rebecca and Kevin would even make time for me on their visits back to Michigan. He was a very funny and thoughtful person. I am lucky to have known Kevin Gage. My deepest sympathies to Rebecca J. and Kevin’s family.
Oh my, I was Kevin’s babysitter and friend for long time. Sending prayers to Connie and Pamela, I am so so sorry for your loss.
I just asked Pam about him and Connie not to long ago as I found her on Facebook. May he rest in peace God Bless your family.
Still in shock over the loss. Having known Kevin for the 25 years he and Rebecca have been together was a blessing. He was always willing to try something new if it was beer or cheese. 🙂
I will miss our PFDs together and trying to talk him into a boat ride. I enjoyed his sense of humor and envied the travels that Rebecca and Kevin had – always sharing with family and friends the interesting things they found. Condolences to family and friends.
I’ve known Rebecca and Kevin since around 1998. Loved you both from the first time we met. Brian and I cherish every moment we got to hang out with you both. Kevin had the most beautiful smile. This just doesn’t seem real. He will be very missed. So glad I had the chance to know him. Love you Kevin. RIP.
My friend, my mentor, my boss and income for my family when i was struggling a bit. I will miss you. Times of laughter and intense conversation i will miss. To his love and soul mate. Thank you for sharing his time with me and all of his friends. He loved you. I know this from fact even though we did look and gocked from time to time.
I have known and worked with Kevin off and on for 17 years. He was unique. And he was one of my favorite people to work with. He left me with many wonderful memories of good times, laughter, and friendship. I miss him.
Though we weren’t able to see each other often, I have many good memories of Kevin. I will remember summer vacations in Michigan when we were kids, Christmases shared in Atlanta and our family dinners. I always looked forward to spending time with him and Rebecca and hearing about their life together and the places they visited. Even with time apart and my quiet and reserved nature, Kevin’s sense of humor and kindness always made me feel we were close. I know he might cringe if he could read this, but I wish he could. I will truly miss him as part of our family.
Kevin was a great friend and audio mentor. This is just hard to believe. He taught me so much. Kevin will be missed.
Kevin and I went to Dewitt High School, Dewitt, MI together. He sure could make me laugh. What a good guy he was. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
I am truly shocked at finding out about his passing away. Kevin was an incredible technical troubleshooter. He was a “closer” for my projects when we worked together at SPL-Dallas 2001-2003. He could find everything wrong with our installations and knew how to fix them as well.
I wish many blessings to his family.
