RIP mlsman

[Bando]

Kevin was a brilliant Electrical Engineer, PhD. Research Scientist, devoted Dad & Avid Aviator. He died in a helicopter crash.

I remember him most for a bunch of time he spent with me when I was applying for another job and he was reviewing my cover letter drafts. He kept saying "It's too Colloquial" until I googled what "colloquial" means. It means informal. He could have just said informal.

He was a vegetarian for most of his time with us here, but about 4 years ago he asked me about a post I made about how easy it is to get protein from lunch meat. Boom, just like that he started eating meat, I was very surprised.

He was a heavy lifter, his profile pic was of a massive back and towering traps. He got into pretty hardcore running later on and had a smaller, chiseled but built frame. Unfortunately all these update pics went away with Iron Sanctuary.

He built a new pole barn a few years back and upstairs he had this contraption that looked like something out of "Honey I Shrunk the Kids." He posted one pic of it briefly and it was something ridiculously specific like "I'm tracking the negative ion particles emitting from Saturn." I don't remember exactly what it was, but he was very interested in it.

He leaves behind 2 young Sons, RIP My old friend.

RIP

It's one thing for someone to post about when a celebrity you didn't know dies, but it hits a little harder when a forum member passes away.

We were supposed to hookup when I was in Nashville for a game but he absolutely despised the crowds and wouldn't go anywhere near Broadway even though he lived a little over a mile away.
Good guy who I am sure is missed by his family, friends and college workmates.

I recall interacting with him a few years back on here..

RIP Sir

I didn't know him that well, but I did enjoy my discussions with him here. He was clearly a very bright guy and I always looked forward to seeing what he had to say. Really hate to see it when one of our own (in the O35) checks out too early....and mlsman definitely punched out before his time. RIP

Sorry to hear this. He was a great person and member here.

Take good care, friend.

Sadly I never read any of his posts or know anything of him. Often I read obituary type posts and they sound remarkably similar.. touching but mundane, but from that description this guy sounds like a really interesting character, sounds like we are all a bit poorer from that loss

[-=FLEX=-]

Is this confirmed?

There was talk on our FB group a while back about a Kevin Warner that died but it wasn't "our" Kevin Warner.

He has been AWOL for a while now though. But details didn't reconcile.

It was our Kevin. His work, kids ages, aviation stuff all check out.

Yep I remember him once bitching that he was gonna have to teach a class. Didn't want to be around all those kids.

Yeah we're dropping off unfortunately.

Hope someone makes a thread for me when I die.

If I have a heart attack in a grocery store, don't mention that, say I was in the squat rack or a helicopter crash, I wanna go out like a True Boss.

Rest in peace, Kevin.

I hate reading about past members passing, makes me sad, and although I never had much interaction with him I remember Kevin as a pretty level headed intelligent guy mostly from that secret ******** board from about 8 years ago.....

gone too soon, RIP .

I haven't been here in a while and I'm just reading this.

I remember Kevin well and he was always a solid poster/member.

Damn this sucks RIP.

[DustinTheHuss]

I'm so sorry that a forum member has passed. Rest In Peace and my condolences to those who knew him.

I had another memory of Kevin pop up today. I don't remember all the circumstances but we were having a real tough time financially, think we were supporting a couple of terminally ill relatives. It was winter and Kevin suggested blocking off rooms we weren't using. My Wife got home and I had blocked off about 400 sq ft including our living room, she just rolled with it like a champ. It was cozy in our dining room that winter but we made it.

Thanks Kevin.
