His mother posted this on FB a few moments ago.



"Hello everyone,



Thank you to everyone for caring so much about our son, Kevin Earl Tejan. We appreciate all the love, care and support you showed him. We know he had a lot of friends. We just wish he could have believed it more. We appreciate all who sent posts and tried to get him to change his mind and not do anything stupid. Thank you to Kelsey who called the Chandler Police Department and alerted them. That gave us a chance to possibly save him, rather than hours later finding him. Kevin hung himself in the garage and the paramedics tried their hardest to revive him. We love him very much and have a huge hole in our hearts this morning. Love, Paul and Joyce.

Many of us tried to reach out when he would get down.

My heart is broken and I'm sick to my stomache about this.



Here is the first video that I ever saw of his work.

He said that when he was first registering here, he was eating them and they

tasted funny, so that's the first thing that came to his mind at the time.

It made sense to me...



Does anyone else have any funny stories to share about Kevin?

I'm certain that his family will be reading these posts, as I've messaged his mother. Devious Deceptions

We'll pray or him at services tomorrow.

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
