Kevin was a great guy and super sharp - in that order. Loved working with him even in the short time I knew him. He was passionate about helping American Soldiers getting the right capabilities to do their job and had a way of bringing folks together to collaborate as a team easily. He will be missed by the SATCOM community. Kevin - Archie K

While our paths crossed mainly online, the news of Kevin's passing saddened me greatly. His infectious positivity and laughter always made it feel like you had known him for a lifetime. He was always helpful, and even online, his positive spirit always shone through. He'll be greatly missed by all.

I am very sorry for your loss. While I did not know Kevin in person, we talked quite a bit on the phone, sharing commonality with our satellite communication careers, particularly our experiences in the field. He was a very friendly and kind person, who had regard for others. My sincere condolences. God Bless you and your family. Kevin McCormack
