Athens' favorite son Kevin Till passes away

We featured Kevin earlier this year, please take the time to watch his story again. When we talked to him in February, Kevin was a senior at Athens and played on the basketball team. He recently had undergone surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his brain.

Kevin was put on hospice a couple of weeks ago, and passed away this morning. One of the Till's neighbors e-mailed me and said "there has been a non-stop vigil of friends, football / basketball players, coaches, rodeo friends, etc."

Keep the Till family in your thoughts and prayers. He was an inspiration to his family, and to the whole town of Athens.

On behalf of the citzens of Caddo Mills we like to express our sincere sympathy for the Till family on the loss of a GREAT and Courageous young
man by the name of Kevin Till. Kevin had so much
love for people in spite of his illness. My life
has been made richer just by knowing him. Kevin
touched lives also in Caddo Mills, to cancer patients, just wherever he went people just simply
loved him. He will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,

Tim Rector

I just saw Kevin last Thursday out having lunch with his family. As always he was Kevin and living life. I never dreamed it would be the last time to get to see him on this earth. Kevin loved life and it showed in everything he did. He loved coming by our radio booth at the livestock show and talking on the air. I am truly blessed for having known Kevin Till. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kevin's Mom and Dad.
