I am so sorry for your loss, I can not even begin to imagine to know what you are going through at this time. Kevin, was such a light to so many.
We were just getting to know Kevin and he was such a great guy. Condolences to all his family and friends at this difficult time. He will be missed.
When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. Our family remembers you well dearest Kevin, always.. with great love ♥️♥️♥️

Kevin Kloppers 🌸…Its hard to think back on the fact that it seems like just yesterday u had come back to school after u had your appendix removed and you were chasing me around the big tree near the play gym at Yada College ,u were a goofball and u always had the brightest smile on your face and always seemed to cheer everyone up even on your darkest days…even though we never stayed in communication and I never got to say this in person but u were an amazing friend not only to me but to Stuart ,Dylan ,Kayla, Jemma, Carla and most of the Yada family…u were kind and quite the talkative one 🙈not nearly as much as Stewart, as he did hold the title of the classes chatterbox hehe…even though we were not that close u still made me realise that friendship didn’t always mean staying in contact it’s about the void that is filled in a piece of your heart that will always be carried,the bond and the relationship two people share🌹🐞Life is beautiful and full of optimistic surprises and a whole lot of giggles,quarrels and new beginnings and from what I’ve seen and heard u really lived ur life and a beautiful/adventure filled one too ,I’m so proud of every moment of kindness ,of every smile portrayed on your face and every silly giggle that came bursting out your mouth and I wish you the most beautiful new beginning ❤…fly high ,soar and explore Kevin and know that u will be and u are missed dearly and just know that there is a place in my heart where u had lit up and created a world of happiness and a connection that will never nor will they be any possibility of being replaced by anyone else 💞🕊
