Condolences
My condolences are always with your family. I'll never forget when I heard the news, even though I was younger than Kevin. I received the Kevin Clawson Fine and Performing Arts Award when I was in 8th grade back in 2012. I can only imagine the artistic talents Kevin would contribute to the community and society. My heart is always with your family. May God continue to Bless your family.
Dearest Jane and Family, There is no understanding what happened to your Kevin. We all knew Kev, if only through your stories of his laughter, his fun, his naughtiness, and his sweet heart. My thoughts are with you. I wish I could bear some of your pain. Love, Laura
Jane and Dave Im so sorry for your loss. I have also lost a loved one in a sudden accident. I know how much it hurts. Love knows no boundary's know that Kevin will always be with you. Please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I know no words can make you feel better. But know we all are thinking of you. May God give you peace and faith and hope. We know you from Jada's Candy and Joe, and Im Bobbys sister (The Laundry man). My family send thier condolence's and prayers for you all.
My heart and thoughts are with you all.
You gave Kevin undyeing love and support in all of Kevin's dreams. God has an enchanting place for Kevin where he can be watched each minute and when it is time for rest, his mom's voice will whisper in his ear......"Mom and Dad love you" May you find comfort in remembering the smiles you got from Kevin, the loss of his first tooth, and the rest of the great things in life you shared with your son. We know one thing for sure .....kids and adults have learned a lot from this loss.
Our thoughts, love and prayers go out to all the Clawsen family during this most horrific time. We are thinking and praying for Kevin. Sincerely, Tony & Linda Calcaterra & family

Dave, Jane and family, I wish I could say or do something to take away the sorrow and loss you are feeling right now. I cannot even imagine what you are going through and I'm so sorry. You are all in my thoughts and prayers constantly. Love, Teresa
Jane and family, I cannot begin to even fathom the depth of your pain and sorrow. I have been struggling for the right words and there simple are none. I can't put into words what I am feeling in my heart. When I was at the store last night I notice they had Skittles amongst the candies and thought of the time that you told me that Kevin's idea of eating green food was to eat Skittles. Please know that you will continue to be in my heart, prayers and on my mind. This journey you are on is one that none of want for ourselves or anyone but I hope knowing that there are so many who care about you and love you will make it a little easier. All my love, Debie
Dear Jane and Family: I recently was in your store for my famous brownies. While discussing your family in general, you spoke of Kevin and his sweet heart. It was with overwhelming devastation that I learned of his accident. Words fail to convey to you how heartsick I feel for you all. Please know that my thoughts are with you and would consider it an honor if I could be of help to you in someway. I live in Bradley Beach and possibly could assistant you in some way. My husband and I extend our deepest and most sincere sympathy. Karen and Tom Crader
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your neighbors on Schaeffer.
Jane, Dave, and Family: I just heard about your son's death last night and I want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. I used to chat with you in Moms, Jane. I know all too well just how hard this is and I'm not going to say things will get better any time soon, Just keep your memories of Kevin alive and accept my deepest sympathy. May God Bless you all. Love and prayers, Linda
Jane & family, I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking for you right now. Please know that your family is in my prayers. I wish I lived closer so that I could do something. Please know that all my thoughts and prayers are with you now. {{{{{lots of love)))) Christy Bartel (from AOL/MOL: brtls5 or bartls5)
We are so sorry for your loss - there are just no words to describe how we feel. Kevin was a friendly kid - he would ride his bike back and forth and sometimes stop and chat with us and our young children. We will all miss him. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers and we hope that you will somehow find comfort in the memories of his life. Elena, Arthur, Justin & Kayleigh Lin (neighbors)
Jane, Dave, & Family.....I am so sorry for your loss. Kevin was definitely a very special kid....I will always remember your stories about him. ((((((((((((hugs and much love)))))))))
Jane, Dave and Family, Jane, Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for you and your family. I am so very sorry this has happened. Still unbelievable. Because i am at a loss for words i would like to leave you with a prayer that my friend wrote for your family....May the Lord watch over you and give you the strength during this difficult time... Lord, our wonderful God, you work in mysterious ways. When the death of a child occurs it rocks everyone of us to the very core, and only you understand exactly what is going through the mind of the parents who lost their child that you so graciously give us. Lord, I am faithful in my belief that Kevin's work is done here. That he is resting with you. Please bring peace to those that are left behind and comfort in their time of mourning. That they may understand that Kevin is with you. But also Lord, please help them see that they need to seek you in all of this. That YOU are the source of comfort, answers, and hope! Dear Lord, I know that this was all in your timing. Please help all those that are affected to see you, to bring others to salvation. Bless the family continually, and all the friends of both boys, as they are grieving as well, and are sometimes overlooked. Please help the friends families notice the grief they are going through. Lord, we thank you for the opportunity that you give us to pray, and that only can be done through your glorious Son, Jesus Christ. Amen. Love Carey
Jane and family, I used to hang out at Moms Online with you, Jane. As I read through the many condolences here, it's so easy to see what a wonderful young man Kevin was. He touched many lives and will be long remembered and held in the hearts of many, many people. The words, "I'm sorry," seem so pale and weak in light of this tragedy, but I hope that you will find some comfort in knowing that so many people care about your family and are praying that you will find peace.
I am so very sorry for your great loss. I hope that the knowledge that there are so many people praying for your strength gives you a little comfort at this very difficult time for you and your family. (moms online chatter ltshop, Linda)

I would like to express my deepest sympathy for your unspeakble loss.
Dear Jane and Dave and family, Our hearts are broken for you. My "babies" began their lives in your care with Kevin by your side.

Collette, Jim, Connor and Dillon
Jane and Family, The plans of God are beyond the limits of my understanding. In the hands of God Kevin lives in our hearts,unbound by earthly limits of space and time. Our boys remain forever "twins from opposite coasts". Love You. Laura Bruff
To the Clawson family, Thoughts of Kevin's eagerness to make you proud in my fourth grade classroom at Errickson swirl through my head right now. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. I wish I was in the area to attend services, but I am now living and teaching in N.M. May Kevin's love of his family and friends serve as a bit of comfort to all that knew and loved him right now. Respectfully, Robin Weiss

Dear Jane and family, Another old friend from MOMS. Just want to say my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time. May God bless you at this time. Terry
I don't know you, your family and I didn't know your precious Kevin. I saw this story on fox news and I read it in todays paper. I know you are at the funeral home right now and I prayed for all of you. I just pictured the hurt in your hearts right now. I prayed for our Lord to comfort you during this horrific time. I don't know why this horrible thing happened but, I do know that Kevin is in God's arms right now. He must have been a special boy. God was done with him here and he needed him in heaven. I am going to continue to pray for all of you for comfort and peace. In Gods word it says, "to be absent with the body, is to be present with the Lord". And your sweet boy is there right now. Some day God will explain and make sense of all of this. God bless you at this very difficult time. Again I am so sorry.
My Daughters Lindsay and Stehanie knew your son and are Devistated. He would come and skateboard in our development never saw him without his skateboard!I know what you are going thru, I lost my youngest brother in a go cart accident in 1983 he was also 13 So this really hit home for me .OUR THOUGHTS AND pRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL AT THIS TIME..Sincerly The Manoy Family
Dear Jaenne & David, I am so sorry to hear about your son. How sad. I can only think how I would feel as a parent losing a child. But to go through it must be 100 times worse. I only wish I could say or do something to help. Joyce
Dear Dave&Jane&family So sorry for the lost of your son (brother) Kevein, words cannot convey my feeling, Kevin was the sun that shone in all of us, and always looked forward to his next humorous caper.. He will be so missed. Love Renie (raggedyrrenie)
Our deepest sympathy to you for the loss Kevin. Morton and Kathy Brach Freehold, NJ
Jane and Family, Just a voice from Moms online past...though we have not met, I still care, even if it is from a distance. My heart goes out to you and your family. Your loss is imaginable. Please lean on your friends and family in this time of need and know there are many of us sending healing thoughts your way. You will be in my prayers. Aloha ~ Tiffany (LINDZ)
Dear Clawson Family, There is nothing that I could type to turn back time or make your heart heal any faster. Your son was a beacon of light during his short stay on Earth. My son John knew Kevin from 2nd Grade at Errickson Elementary School. John's memories of Kevin was of adventure, fun and laughter. We live on Bar Harbor Road and I will always remember seeing Kevin on his skateboard enjoying life and being carefree. Even though we knew Kevin briefly, he will be greatly missed. May Kevin have many skateboarding adventures up in heaven. Our deepest sympathy. The Guth Family Mike, Terri, John & Joe
Our hearts go out to your family and we will keep you all in our prayers.
To Dave, Jane, Trish, David Scott, Mike & Jenn: Our hearts are also broken at the loss of your beloved Kevin. He was a joy to all and will be sadly missed. Our prayers and thoughts remain with you at this time of sorrow. John, Toni, Kenny & Jenna
To the Family of Kevin Clawson I have never met your family or your son, but I wanted to let you know that my prayers go out to you in this time of need. I guess we now have another special angel up in heaven. Even though we know he is too young. May God bless you and keep you strong and never lose faith.
Trisha and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and hope you find peace very soon. God Bless you all.
Our deepest condolences, Dave. We just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in our thoughts.
Jane, David and Family, Words escape me, I have been sick since I heard. I am so sorry for what your going through. Trevor and Kevin were so close for so many years (remember people thought they were twins). Although they've grown apart a little I can still hear his voice, so polite and so sweet, he always had a story for me - "Mrs. West, Mrs. West". I miss him already. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. Michele and Trevor West and family
Janie, my dear sweet friend. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel in my soul. I am so very sorry this has happened. We are all at a loss and although miles apart, definitely with you in spirit. Our Heavenly Father had an important mission for our little Kev, one that only one of His choicest spirits could perform. I look forward to that day when we will see him again and he can fill us all in on his adventures in the humorous way that only Kev could. May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
Dear Dear Jane, Dave and family, I want the right words to come to me to console you in this tragic time of losing Kevin. The right words cannot express how sorry I am. I have a paraphrase from my prayer book that I'd like to share: "O Lord, rest the soul of Your departed servant, Kevin Clawson in a serene, luxuriant and peaceful place where all pain and sorrow and lamentation are absent." In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen. {{{{{{{{{{{{ Clawson Family}}}}}}}}} You are so loved and so important to so many lives that you've touched. Love, phyllis
There are no words to say, or any way to express our sincere condolences for your loss. We as a community and neighbors can feel your loss, and our prayers are with your family. He will truly be missed.
Words escape me. All I can say is I love you and my prayers are with you.
Jane and Family. I am having a hard time expressing what exactly I want to say to you. But, please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could be on my way to NJ right now to be there with you. But, since I can't, please feel my hug from the cyber-world. Love you "Jane mama"..... HUGS.... If you need anything please call!
(((((((((((Dave,Jane and Family)))))) huge hugs and love and lots of prayers going out to you and your family, May God Bless you all and keep you strong in this time of sorrow Love and Friends the Evans Family
Dearest Dave and Jane, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow, we ask God to Bless you all. Many hugs to you from us. with Love,Mark,Carmen Ancheta, and Family
Trisha and family, I am always thinking about you and hoping you can soon find peace in your thoughts. Kevin is awesome.
Dear Dave, Jane and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our hearts ache with you and for you. Love, Jerry and Janet
To the Clawson Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Scott and Kevin have been in school together since Errickson. Scott and Kevin were partners this marking period in life skills. They were having so much fun cooking together. Scott will miss Kevin greatly. We are so sorry for your loss. The Baghsarian Family
I would like to send my condolences to your family during this very difficult time. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
My daughter Nikki went to school with Kevin and she would like you to know that you are in our prayers and that Kevin will never be forgotten. He touched so many lives. He is a very special angel loved by many. God bless your Family at this sad time.
There are no words that seems good enough or strong enough to let you know how sad this entire town is with Kevin's death. From my own experience I do know of the dullness life will seem to become. As if you can't feel anything, happy or sad....only dull. I wish I could help ease this for all of you. When you need GOD, HE will be there always to carry you. Be angry with HIM, be sad with HIM, question HIM......HE is the LORD and can take what you dish out. HE understands how deep it hurts to lose a son. I am sure as Kevin arrived in heaven Jesus was there waiting for him and held him right away and wiped the tears he shed leaving you. But he did not leave your side for long. Feel him around you and feel him in your heart and soul. Kevin is still there. In time the memories you have of your Kevin will overshadow the memories of the accident. The accident was just a moment in his shortened life, and although 13 years is not enough time to have had with him, please know that those memories are the ones that will warm you and guide you. And when your time comes to pass, you will know exactly which path to follow because Kevin is there and he is making your special path to the LORD even more special. Please find strength in the yourselves, as well as in the love you have for your other children. Do not let this one day change the people they are meant to be. You will continue to be in many prayers.
