RIP Kevin and a speedy recovery to Craig. We were just around to corner when the accident happend at Camp Earl Wallace. I did not know Kevin but would like to thank everyone who has told what type of a person he was. He sound like a great guy who was very giving. I agree that nobody would want this event canceled especially a person who ran in it every year. Prayer's to all involved

The evening of the accident at SOTW we recognized those who were basically first responders to the site and thanked them for their heroic efforts at the accident

Craig we are so sorry for your loss of a great friend and happy you are doing better. Two years ago my husband and I were at the poker run and love the water we couldn't make it this year but would hate to think that it would not be ran in the future. We have family that have been on that water for over 13 years. God speed to you, Kevin and both families!

Craig - I am so happy to know that you ok. My husband is the one that administered CPR on Kevin all the way back to the ramp. I sent some pictures I had taken to your brother. We had originally heard that your leg was broken in two places - so this is good news. I am so sorry about Kevin. I have only heard great things about him. I know the next few days will be rough - please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. xoxox
I AM UP WALKING AND JUST ABOUT BACK TO NORMAL. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS. GOD HAS BEEN WITH ME. KEVIN WILL BE LAID TO REST TOMORROW . PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HIS FAMILY.
I HAVE RELAYED TO HIS PARENTS ALL THE STORIES, PRAYERS, AND CONCERNS FROM THIS BOATING COMMUNITY AND THEY ARE VERY THANKFUL. THANK YOU AGAIN YOUR FRIEND CRAIG.
