For the caption, Ruben pointed out that it had been one month since God called Kevin home and that he was sure his brother was in Heaven watching over him like he did when he was alive.

“This picture makes me smile because I remember how proud I was as freshmen in high school to wear my big brothers [sic] number. So that the 72 tradition would continue another 4 years,” wrote Ruben.

Apart from that, Kevin always told him what he needed to hear even if Ruben didn’t want to listen.

Even though it has been more than a month since Kevin passed away, the cause of death has not been revealed yet. Kevin was only 44 years old when he died, reported ABC News.
