American veterans Bloodgood confirmed via their Facebook page that their drummer Kevin Whisler has passed away. Kevin was diagnosed with Lymphoma followed by testing positive for COVID-19, formed a blood clot on his brain, causing him to have a stroke a week ago.

Statement from Kevin Whisler's wife Elaine: ''Dear Family & Friends, Iit is with a heavy heart that I share the loss of our dear Kevin. My loving husband, best friend, loving father, grandfather, brother and faithful friend to all. Kevin's fight was a witness and testimony to all. His stellar strength, dignity and warrior spirit was conveyed through this entire journey. This journey has been challenging and at times unimaginable, yet he continued to reflect a level of strength and peace that continued to build on our faith every day. Kevin continued to witness to staff at both Seattle Cancer Care and St. Joseph’s and through his entire journey and even last week as he would ask to pray with care staff.

"Kevin fought the good fight with dignity and warrior strength. I am honored and forever grateful for the time, the years and the battles that we fought together with swords drawn. I am honored to have experienced life with this mighty man of God. Out of respect for the family we ask that you limit your questions, however, feel free to express any thoughts, memories or words of
encouragement that you may have. We will follow up with our plans to celebrate this mighty Man of God.

"Please know Kevin loved you all dearly and found peace from all your prayers. Love, Elaine and our entire family.''
