This one really hits home for me. @krobbmx was like a father to me. When I was a kid riding my local park Kevin showed up one day. He told me that I was killing it and then he gave me his number and told me to call him anytime I wanted. Years later he had me as his guest at Woodward camp. Kevin also played a huge role in getting me on @hoffmanbikes. When I was living on my own in PA he always made sure I was okay. He would call me to his house and pay me way too much money to do simple things around his house just so I could keep my head above water and to keep my dreams rolling. Whenever he was expecting a new child I would be there to build all the furniture for the nursery. We stood on top of megaramp podiums and traveled the world together. He was the most positive person I ever knew and he didn’t deserve to be taken away so soon. My heart goes out to Kevin’s massive family, Robin and his beautiful children. Rest easy, Krob. #rideinpeace #RIPkrob

I’m completely shocked, like the rest of our world is. Kevin had the biggest heart. He is eager for every day. Like he was a little kid going to a carnival. He is enthusiastic for every step he took. He is the proudest parent, loyal, loving, caring and tough as hell. He is one of a kind. He could have the softest heart, but may kick your ass, but only because he loved you. There is no one as tough and sweet as KRob. I will forever miss you. My heart is broken. I give every bit of love I have to Robin, Shaye, Kevin and Riley. I’m so sorry. I’m crushed. I Love You.
