While Kevin had many achievements in Hollywood, his greatest passion was for his family and friends, Penske said. It was obvious that he was very proud of his children. In their commitment to raising their children with great values and ensuring they make a difference in the world, he and his wife, Evelina, made it a goal. We all feel a profound sense of loss for them, and our collective hearts break for them. Kevin is one of the town’s brightest rising stars, and we will miss him so much.
