I have no way of verifying the truth of this report. Eric Corbett 19:46, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hearing the same. :-( Working on a confirmation. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 20:10, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've forwarded this to WP:AN, not because I want a wider audience but because somebody there will be able to take the appropriate action. I cannot see any reason to believe what I read on the Facebook page is not true. :-( Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 20:19, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing on Google I can see, beyond the Facebook that Eric linked.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:30, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No words feel good enough to express my feeling well. I'm heartened that you were able to help three folks live with generous donations and that you continue to help people. You will indeed be missed and it was a pleasure to have met you and work with you. I hope your family and loved ones are well and make it through this undoubtedly difficult time.

• This is beyond sad. I'm at a loss for words as I type this. Although I didn't personally know you, you seemed like a wonderful person, and our interactions were always great. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia and for staunchly defending it from detrimental edits. Thank you for believing in me as much as I believed in you.

• What tragic news. Kevin was my deskmate during his internship at the Wikimedia Foundation, and later interviewed me at length for the Grants retrospective. He was passionate and informed in all he did, and he cared about getting it right, on- and off-wiki. We are the poorer now. Ijon (talk) 09:43, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• I am deeply saddened by the passing of Kevin. Once we began corresponding over a year ago, he treated me with respect, kindness, tact, sensitivity and with the highest example of good faith. I have found him to be a staunch ally and supporter for building the encyclopedia. I especially enjoy his essays. If any of his family is reading this, please know that I am grieving with you and for you and can't even imagine what you must be going through. If there is any question at all about the amazing contributions that Kevin has made to Wikipedia, just know that it will never be the same without him. Kevin, I miss you already! The Very Best of Regards,
