Legend is a word used too much but Kev really was one. He could fix anything, was generous and authentic.
I remember our times in EL Salvador fondly. The world will truly miss someone of Kev’s calibre.

Big Kev, rest in peace! You were a legend in El Salvador, bringing smiles to so many people and always so community minded. It was a pleasure to cross your path.

I am so very saddened to find out that Kevin has passed on, and I send heartfelt condolences to his friends and family. He was very kind, easy going, generous and good natured, was I’m sure a great teacher, an inspiring role-model, a wonderful father, partner, grandfather, and was so knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. He happily offered use of his land to host a nature conservation project up on the Denbigh Moors 10 years ago. I wanted to contact him to update him what happened, but it sadly wasn’t to be. He is greatly missed.
RIP Kevin
