My Cousin Kevin


This week we recieved news that my cousin was missing. He works in Cokeville Wyoming for the State as a Land Hydrographer. Monday he didn't show up to work and by Tuesday morrning there was a search and rescue team out looking. It was a long couple of days with lots of prayers and fasting for his safe return. Wednesday the bad news came, Kevin had taken his own life. Many questions are running through our minds at this time. The biggest one is WHY? We loved him and he was loved by his family, friends and the community. Who knows what drives a person to take their own life with no explanation, no signs, no nothing? While the family has the Gospel and has been comforted the question still remain...WHY? I only hope that the pain he felt is now gone and that he feels love that somehow he didn't feel here. Good bye Kevin, Cousin, Friend, you will be missed.

Wow, so sad to end a life like this with loved ones wondering why. I'm so sorry. Even with the good news of the gospel things like this are really difficult. What a tender farewell.
