R.I.P. Kevin... a true asset to this forum and the pool world. I never had the chance to meet or speak to him in person, but I felt we knew each other pretty well through the forum.
Stunning news that saddens me. My deepest condolences to his family.

Having met and spoken with Kevin several times, I initially thought this would turn out to be a hoax - as I think that would be in line with his sense of humor.
Considering the sources of some of the reponses, I trust this information to be true - which is terribly unfortunate.
I am shocked...
My condolences go out to Kevin's friends and family. He will be missed.

I am saddened by this new and sorry to hear you lost a good friend. Its always shocking to find out we have lost someone who you may have seen or communicated with very recently.
That's horrible news. I enjoyed reading his posts. My condolences to his family and may he RIP.
Very sad to hear this. My condolences to his family and friends.
If we could all be a little more like Kevin, not just AZB, but the world in general would be a better place.
RIP, Mr. Brewer. I wish we had conversed more frequently and not just when I needed advice, although you were always generous and quick with it.

Ginacues brought Kevin and I together, I bought one of my Ginas from Kevin and we had some other Gina interactions, always pleasant ones.
Never got to me him face to face.
RIP, Kevin

I see that AZ has "stickied" this thread, further proof of the impact Kevin had on all he touched. I spoke with Dawn, his partner and soulmate for 35ish years today and have a bit of information to pass along.
I have been asked by many people about funeral arrangements, etc. and here is what I know:
There will be no formal funeral, Kevin was far too upbeat to want anyone to sit through a formal service. Dawn prefers to honor Kevin with a celebration of joy, rather than one of sorrow, fitting for all who knew him.
The exact timing is yet to be determined but the plan is for a gathering, ideally at the beach in Los Angeles. The dress code will be the more casual the better. Flip flops and t-shirts, ideally with the shirts containing an upbeat or lighthearted message. Dawn hopes some of the ladies will be in bikinis, my guess is that Kevin shares that hope....
Some of Kevin's favorite food, drink and music will also be present. He spoke fondly of the many "everyday people" who sat around drinking and telling stories at his father's funeral and Dawn thinks that is the part he'd like for himself. I'm sure I've neglected some details but expect a celebration of his life, not a mourning of his passing.
In any event, Dawn's happiness at the thought of celebrating his joyful life clearly seeped through all the tears and sorrow. The "party" will be open for all to enjoy and I will likely create a separate thread to announce details once they have been determined.
Until then,
Joe

Kevin was almost a daily fixture in Pinky and my life recently. Geez, he had a way with words. He could rib you in such a fashion, you wanted to kidney punch the funny sob (no pun intended 
), but you just couldn't. He'd beat you to the playful punch & you wouldn't even know it til too late.
How could you not help but be attracted to his spirit and admire the man if you were blessed enough to get to know him a bit? Our house is out of kleenex, we're moving onto napkins and neosporin for sore noses.
One quality perhaps not mentioned in this thread - the man was HUMBLE. He obviously touched more people in life than he ever let onto.
I hope heaven has Wi-Fi. RIP Mr Brewer, you were a 100% one of a kind.

RIP, you made me Laugh my face off on many posts. Thanks for that.
It's sad that we forget how short life can be.
Hugs to all of his family and friends

Joe, I am sorry you have lost your good friend. I consider him one of my very best Gina buddies. Did some deals with him and never hesitated to ask him for advice.
My deepest condolences to the family,

I think we all at least learned to fund our paypal accounts with credit cards from Kevin. I can't help but picture him with a mullet, stroking his cat. Was just reading his posts about vaping last night, I thought this thread was some kind of elaborate joke and was waiting for it to play out. Thank you for your humor and insight, Kevin, rest in peace!

Wow! Sad news indeed. I didn't know the guy like most of you did, but I enjoyed his posts and I will certainly miss having him around. Seemed like a good guy. Shame he passed away so young. Did he have health complications he was fighting? If so, it never showed in any posts. Condolences to the family.
