Survived by his wife and unborn child 😔. Cancer sucks.

As a newly minted parent, the "unborn child" was a real gut punch. I'm not the type to get overly emotional about celebrity deaths but when I read that, I felt it.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin twice. Once in 2008 at the H.O.P.E conference and again in 2017 when he and his company were contracted to do physical pen testing at our office. He was always very charismatic and kind in person. I'm sure he'll be missed.

Damn man fuck cancer. Sucks he had such an influence on young me. I guess Kevin is finally free now, rest in peace.
