We’re so sorry that, for many of you, this is how you’re finding out about our dad’s illness. With heavy hearts, we want to share that our dad, Kevin, has been diagnosed with Stage IV colorectal cancer, which has spread to his liver.

If you know Kevin, you know he is so much more than words can capture. He is hilarious and thoughtful, with a quick wit and a kind heart. He’s an artist and a builder, an avid diver and sailor who finds peace on the water and joy in sharing it with others.

We’re reaching out to ask for your support. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help our family to give our dad the support and care he deserves. If you’re unable to donate, we would be so grateful if you could share this page and keep Kevin in your thoughts.

We’ve created an email address for you to send a message, a funny story, something you think he might like, or just drop a line to let him know you’re thinking of him. We thank you for understanding if you don’t receive a response right away, but please know it’s appreciated and we’ll make sure he sees it.

This website won’t allow us to post the email address, but it’s Kevin.Scharkopf at gmail.com

Thank you for standing with us and for loving Kevin as we do.

With gratitude,

Luke & Maxwell Scharkopf

and the entire Clan of Kevin’s loved ones
