    Thanks for the tribute. Kevin was always smiling and upbeat. He had a great pallet for good beer and his beer reviews were endless pieces of education. We would banter back and forth online quite often and when I recently moved to Western Idaho, I thought I would someday soon get a chance to meet him in person. We were both the same age, and this reminds me how life can be shorter than expected. I will miss him dearly. Cheerz.

    So sorry for your loss SJ. I seem to recall a Zoom brew gathering at least 6 or 7 years ago where I first met you and Kevin for that event. Both of you were really rather cool dudes. We are immortal for as long as someone keeps us in their memory. Wonderful tribute Sir.

    Great tribute to a great friend, SJ, I share your tears and sorrow. I've watched almost every video Kevin published on his YT channel, and commented some of them. Kevin always answered my comments, and over the years we developed some kind of friendship, me in Europe, he in the USA. I will share with you his last message to me, showing how kind person Kevin was. He wrote """If you were to EVER make it to Portland, I would be personally offended if you did not contact me. I would be only to happy to act as a tour guide and potentially put you up. Thanks for the support. Cheers!""" That's Kevin's own written words. I never made it to Portland... RIP Kevin. Thank you, SJ!!!

      I for one can say that he meant every word. He has done that very thing for others that made the trip to Portland.
      Keep his family in your thoughts as they go through these trying times.
      Cheers

    Is a great loss to the brewing community, and a nice video about him.
    I received one of those mash paddles too, never knew there was only three of the main ones :) I got one of the ones that Harry wasn't happy with and put to one side and started again. He then found them later when tidying and gave them away 😅 I'll take it out tonight when I have a beer and raise another glass to Kevin 🍻

    Loved by everyone that met him; the Whiskey Roundtable is missing a leg. Still can’t believe it. You just don’t encounter many like Kevin…only if you’re very lucky. I keep thinking about those Homebrew videos he used to post during the holidays wearing a Santa hat. Somehow that is the perfect iconic image that matches his wonderfully warm, curious, and thoughtful personality. Man…he is already missed.

    I'm shocked and devastated. This is the first I heard. Kevin spoke often and highly of you SJ. He's been an inspiration and someone I've always looked up to. I came across a video of his the first time I got into home brew and realized that he lived nearby. The best damn beer reviewer and BrewTuber you could ever ask for. Like you say he's not someone that can be replaced and nor should he be. More importantly a kind and generous person with a personality that just lit up the room. He just sent me a gift out of the blue a few months ago. I'm just having a hard time taking this in right now. I'm not sure if you have my contacts SJ, but please reach out to me if you do and keep an eye out on your email etc as I might reach out in the next few days. Best to his family and everyone in mourning. Thank you for the tribute SJ and RIP my friend Kevin Clements.
