How does a parent start writing about the death of their child? It has been 2 years since our Kevin left this world. It just is not right that a parent would ever be put in a position to do this.
I rarely use the word "died". I don't believe Kevin is dead. He did leave this world and is forever changed, but to me he will never be dead. As I tried to read over this page, I realize I go back and forth from using past to present tense when talking about my son. Probably as any parent knows that has lost a child, it is very difficult to talk about your child in the past tense

Kevin was born at Centenary Hospital in Scarborough on November 23, 1988, at 3:20pm. The most beautiful baby I had ever seen. I still was in awe that I gave birth to this perfect human being. It was love before first sight. Only a mom knows these feelings.

I never ever imagined my worst nightmares that 17 yearly later he would be brutally murdered on March 4, 2006. Kevin leaves his memory with his Father Naresh, Mother Shamiza, little brother Trevor, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Kevin had a special relationship with his cousins who were like a brother and a sister to him.

Kevin was good at a lot of things, just about anything he put his mind into. He especially liked messing around with speakers and stereo equipment, and putting together those cars in the box. Fixing things from scratch and out of the box.

He was the type of teenager who would always make everyone laugh, the joker. He was never seen upset nor angry and always an easy going person with a pleasant smile on his face. He was being a typical teenager, living out his life and dreaming of his future. The short and unforgettable time he spent with us has affected a lot of people lives.

Hi favorite drink is COKE, and boy he could not get enough of that. He loved sports, he played football and basketball and played allot of video games as he grew into his teenage years. He loved skating, swimming and soccer when he little.

He loved loud music, he loved all of Elvis Presley music when he was little, he once dressed up as Elvis for Halloween, we had to special make his Elvis costume, he love to play the guitar like Elvis as well, then as he grew into his teenage years, he started to like rap music. He loved Bob Marley, Sean Paul, Snoop Dog, and most of all Tu Pac.
