Before Death Note

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I added a line about Kevin working at Royal Marine Sales before his death, because apparently no one knew what he was doing in his final years and even "news blogs" were using Wikipedia as their source of info about him. The only reference I could find left on the Royal Marine Sales page was an old Fishing with Kevin Duckworth update with a copy of the Oregonian's fishing season info on it. If anyone official needs further verification, just ask his family or call up the company, they can tell you about it.

Goodbye Kevin, you were a nice BIG guy with a lot of friends. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.147.182.134 (talk) 22:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Kevin did work at Royal Marine Sales, and lived in Oregon City when he died, not Tigard. RIP Friend — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.128.118 (talk) 18:31, 4 June 2013 (UTC) he died while his wife was in the reverse cowgirl position on him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.188.0.94 (talk) 04:14, 3 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

obesity a contributing factor to death?

Obesity is a major risk factor for heart attack, which is what killed him. Can somebody find information about his weight at the end of his life? By that picture, it looks like he was on the high side of 400 pounds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Capedia (talk • contribs) 02:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

My family knew him, and I was told that heart problems run in his family. I suspect it has as much to do with being seven feet tall as it does the weight he has gained and lost over time. 211.18.204.247 (talk) 00:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
