kevin came to me when he was about 10 or 12 actually his mother brought him in for a haircut. His dad came to me so naturally Kevin wound up in my chair. He was a quiet guy but his eyes showed a piercing intelligence. Kevin was paying attention. He would still come to me for haircuts when he was in town. Loyal like his dad. It was a joy to watch as Kevin went from a quiet young boy to a caring and confident young adult. It seemed Kevin had found his calling. My heart aches for his family.

To the family of Kevin,
I didn't know Kevin, but I worked with his father Doug at NEC for a while. I have kids that are the same age as Kevin and I couldn't imagine losing them. My heart breaks for your family. There was such a bright future ahead for him and it's an unimaginable loss. I hope and pray that you all are able to recover and heal your hearts. I'm very sorry for your loss, it certainly feels like we all lost someone.
I pray you will have strength moving forward and justice for Kevin comes for your entire family.
Sincerely,
Bob Jones

I was privileged to know Kevin, but sadly, only for a few months. He joined DC for Democracy (DC4D), the local DFA group in Washington, D.C. in January, 2015. He impressed all of us with his knowledge and deep commitment to progressive reform.
We had high expectations of Kevin as a DC4D member and will greatly miss his goodness and progressive zeal. Kevin had rsvp'd to our July meetup, and his shocking death was a tragic loss for DC4D, the progressive movement, and our city.
At our meetup, DC4D members signed a card for Kevin's family. Please let me know what address to send it to.
Sincerely,
Kesh Ladduwahetty

I offer my heartfelt and sincere condolences to the Kevin's family. I am seriously grieved by this terrible tragedy and I dare not say I understand. I know that there are no words that can truly offer comfort to a family grieving a loss such as this. Only God above knows your pain just as only God above can give you His Healing and Peace to comfort you in this. I can say that many of us are praying with and for you and that you are in no ways alone in bearing this burden.

I did not know you Kevin or your family. I just heard your story on CNN and it is a week after your loss. This is the first time I am hearing about it and I live in DC. I wanted to honor you and your family as I know this is a time when those you know and love you ask why? Why you were the chosen one when there were so many others around. This tragedy will bring change to Metro and it will be referred to with your name spoken for many years to come. Perhaps you were chosen to be part of bringing new change and history to laws, regulations and reform of new safety measures.
I looked at your facebook page and all of the friends and connections that you have. Unbelievable! No words needed as the pictures and posts tell your story. You even speak of the confederate flag yet this crime happens.
You have an incredible spirit Kevin and you shared it with the world. Many in this world were touched by you, your friendship, love and many admire you for just being Kevin J. Sutherland. No one knew you would leave on July 4th to your own journey, so tragically.. My sister left the same way at the age of 16, no one expected it.
I light a candle for your spirit, mind body and soul Kevin. It helps to heal especially your parents as they grieve. Your family and friends too. The candle burns 7 days but your spirit will always surround everything. I honor you Kevin for the unexpected yet your bravery.

What a beautiful and well-deserved tribute to a remarkable young man. Along with you, his loving family, the world has lost one of the few truly good and caring people
that we need so many of. Somehow I think he will be watching over all of you and guiding things from above in the direction he thinks they need to go. Thank you both and God Bless you for giving us such a special person and for sharing him with so many people; he accomplished far more in his short life on earth than would seem possible. May he rest in the peace he deserves.
With deepest sympathy, respect and caring....

Everything that I've read about Kevin tells me what an awesome young man he was, and I can only imagine what his future could have been-successful, I'm sure. Considering his love of politics and everything related to it, how sadly ironic he left this earth on the 4th of July, but his legacy will live on. Prayers and my heartfelt thoughts are with you all.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Kevin, but as a North Haven, CT native, 2009 graduate of AU, and current DC resident, I feel as if I have lost one of my "own." I've read so many gracious and glowing accounts of Kevin's life and passions that is clear we have all lost someone incredibly special. May his unique spirit, love of politics, incredible kindness, and countless other attributes be remembered and live on in all the lives he touched. My thoughts are with Kevin's loved ones now and always.

No one can prepare you for such a loss; it comes like a tsunami that crushes the heart. Scott and I are so grateful for having known Kevin. Even as a young boy we knew that he had tremendous potential. We used to tell him that when he became President we would expect an invitation to the Oval Office and, although we don’t think he (or his Mum and Dad) believed it, we were serious! When we have children we hope that they will bring something important into the world. With his intellect, creativity, generosity and truth Kevin did just that. He will always shine in our memories. We are so sorry. Love, Kate and Scott
