Hi Noelle,
I am Kevins older brother Vincent. I recently found this website that mentions Kevin’s passing so I thought I’d leave a quick message. Perhaps Kevin actually mentioned me and my younger brother Michael at some point in years past. My wife and I Suzie would be happy to share some of our stories.
Perhaps we can even Skype.

In closeing, I hope this reply reaches you.

Cheers,

Vince Jahn

I first met Kevin in 2001, when he sailed to La Paz, Mexico, where I was (and still am) living. We became instant friends and in 2003, thanks to Kevin’s persistent nature, I converted to Catholicism, with Kevin as my Godparent. A year later, Kevin and I started a non-profit charity to help the poor in a small community on the outskirts of La Paz. My conversion renewed Kevin’s desire to become a priest and after he left La Paz to fulfill that calling, we remained very close friends. I cannot even begin to express the sorrow I feel at his passing. He was larger than life. In La Paz, he put together an adoration program at two parishes, he handed out the Miraculous Medals to everyone he passed on the streets, he served as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist and a sacristan, he helped me to become an orthodox Catholic, was an awesome spiritual “director”, and so much more. For better or for worse, everyone who met Kevin never forgot him. Even now, so many years after he left La Paz, people still remember him and ask about him. He wasn’t one to sit still, always on the move, working diligently and with a heart full of love for our Blessed Mother. He told me something I’ve never forgotten: “We can rest when we die.” I didn’t have the opportunity to say “good-bye” or to tell him how much I would miss him. But if I could have been there at that moment of passing, I would have said with a smile, “See you on the other side!” Ave Maria Purísima, Ruega por nosotros.

In reply to Fra Roderic. Thank you for sharing this with me, Frisr Roderic. I do believe it was a way to remind us to keep praying for my dad and his loved ones. I will do so. Again, thank you all for honoring him in ways he would truly appreciate. Ave Maria

In reply to Noelle (Jahn) Hendriksen. Good to hear from you Noelle. We miss your Dad a lot. He was a great man. Here is something that I wanted to mention when you posted the comment, but got distracted, is that his name came up at table the day you sent this because it just happened that one of the masses that someone asked to have said for him was done on the same day, the fourteenth. Then your comment came in. Perhaps it is a message from him in an indirect way to keep praying from him and for you and all those dear to him. This we will do. God bless you. Friar Roderic

I am only just now reading this beautifully written obituary for my dad. Thank you to all of his friends for the comforting words I’ve received in this last almost year now. His 63rd birthday was January 3rd and although I am still grieving for my beloved father, I find comfort in knowing he is with Our Lady in Heaven.

Kevin was a kind and loving man. Always willing to help those who needed it most. He gave everything. I’ll miss him.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Kevin.
We have lost a good friend and a brother in Christ. But I believe that
he is happy to where he is now. Our Lady is always at his side because She knows
what is in his heart. To spread the love of Mama Mary, no more pain, no more sorrow my brother.
May the angels be your guide and welcome you to your new paradise.
Thank you for being a part of us here in the small Island of Saipan.
Santa Remedios community will surely miss you.

Ave Maria
