Kevin Runnels 2-12-68 to 12-21-12

For those of you who may know Kevin "Blue Tongue" Runnels, VBA #0004....I was informed this morning that he passed away.

Kevin and his wife Marla used to be Region Leaders of the SouthCentral before Oldbikers and Nightmare.

Kevin used to ride a Nomad, but switched to a Goldwing several years ago. He was an avid member of the Texas VROC (which is where I first met him and his family). Kevin will be sorely missed.

Very sorry to hear the sad news, there seems to be a lot of people passing away lately. We have had three people pass at work this past week.
My condolences to the family.

Cheryl and I met him and Marla about 5 years ago at the Eureka Springs rally. We have since ridden with them on some Texas VROC get togethers.

Kevin was a good guy who loved to ride. He will be missed. Will pray for Marla in this time of great sorrow.

I really hate to hear this. I " talked " to him via this forum back in the Kawanow days. My condolences to his family.
