Kevin Todd Smith -- Gone Too Soon



On February 16th, 2002, we mortals lost one of our finest, Kevin Smith. It's still shocking to me that he is gone, but then I can't ever really imagine that changing.

I had neglected this site for over a year. I didn't like the direction Xena went toward the end, and I found the finale extremely disappointing to say the least. When I heard about Kevin, I couldn't stop crying. It's funny how these characters on the television, and by default the people who bring them to life, become members of your extended family without you even realizing it. It hit me that I'd just lost someone quite dear to me. Dear to me because he took something I loved, and just by being there, he made it even better. Taken from us before his full potential could be realized, Kevin will be remembered for Xena. But really, one of the reasons that Xena will be remembered is because of Kevin.

Now, whatever Xena meant to any of us before, it represents something greater. It's a frozen segment of Kevin's all too brief time that he chose to share with the world. We will always be able to enjoy his laughter, and his singing, and everything else that Kevin brought with him. And while there should have been more, I am at least grateful for that small blessing.

To Kevin's family, my eternal sympathies. He was truly loved and will be truly missed.
