On May 5 2015, the Apple community lost Kevin Lockey — a consultant in the Bay Area. Many of you may know that Kevin has been fighting a particularly rare and devastating cancer for a while now. His strength, his positiveness, and his outlook may have you caught off guard by this news. If that’s the case, it’s a pure testament to Kevin and his personality.
Kevin was all about celebrating life, and sharing. With that in mind, take a moment a post something about Kevin, your relationship, or a funny story to share.
Comments may be used in an upcoming tribute in MacTech Magazine, or other places to celebrate Kevin’s life. We will review your entry and unlock it as quickly as we can.

My dear sweet friend Kevin, after 25 years of friendship, we’ve been though so much together. We’ve been through you losing your first wife, Michele, to cancer and you were my rock during a difficult divorce. We’ve been through both of us finding new mates, and births of our children. We’ve been through us both taking a risk, and each venturing out in our own Mac consulting business. You helped shape my leadership and management skills.
Through the many community events, people often thought we were married – I was your “east coast wife” as you used to say. You were so much about your family, our tech community, and the world around you. You believed wholeheartedly on fundraisers like Livestrong. Even when were sick, you volunteered at the America’s Cup the whole time — and beamed about it. And, after a surgery that you almost didn’t survive, nothing was going to stop you from showing up several weeks later at MacTech Conference to be with your cohorts and friends.
Kevin was always looking up, and not down, and his big beautiful smile and deep bold laugh could make anyone smile. I’ll miss those words “Hi Kim, it’s Kevin.” Rest in Peace my dear sweet friend ~Only the good die young~
