Kevin VonErich

As I sit here and wonder, how I can even attempt to do justice to this great man? I wonder how to tell of all the wonderful things he's done, and all about the kind person he is? Where to begin? I could begin by telling you what Kevin means to me, but that would take forever. To put it simply, he's my heart. He is, was, and always will be, my hero, my idol, a role model, yes and a sex symbol too. There was one point in my life, when I was like a ship set out to sea, and I felt as if I was blind, lost, and dying. Kevin was my shinning beacon in that storm. Yes, I love that man more than words can say, he's always been my everything. I suppose to me right now in my adult life, the most important thing that Kevin Adkisson is to me ........ a friend.
To understand this story maybe I should begin at the beginning, if you get bored easily, please start scrolling now.

I remember back to almost 21 years ago, I was at a slumber party at a friend's house, and it was Saturday night. We had been watching horror movies, and telling stories, and all the kinds of things that 8 year old girls do. All of a sudden my friend who was having the party, stopped everything to turn on WRESTLING? What was this? Sports? It was almost too much to bear until...... I got my first glimpse of THE MAN. There he was, barefoot, looking incredible as only he can. He was as usual, helping out a brother during a feud (stepping in as big brother). I was instantly hooked. Lookout, there was no going back. I never get into anything in a small way, and Kevin VonErich was to be no exception.

Let me explain a little about myself. I was never ever what you would call popular, and way far from being pretty. I had few friends, and the ones I had usually didn't stick around long. So, when along came this great looking guy, who was constantly on the TV, week after week, telling us that he loved us just because. Because we loved him, and his family, because he always told us the fans that we were all like family to him, because we supported him. And even if they didn't intend for us to, we the fans lifted all of them up to above God-Like status.

He was my world, and yea,to a point he still is. Things have changed, in some aspects, but let me tell you one thing. To me Kevin VonErich hung the moon, while climbing on David's shoulders one night, and no one had better dispute that, not within my hearing anyway.
Many people asked me why? Of all the boys, of all the brothers why Kevin? Well...... that's a tough one, but I think there were a couple of things about Kevin, that to me, set him heads above the rest. Kevin always seemed to have this huge heart. I saw once at a show in the sportatorium, there were hundreds of people and let's face it, mainly women, trying to get to Kevin and Kerry as they came to the ring. Off to one side, there was this lady that was a bit older than the rest of the girls there, I guess I'd estimate she was in her early 30's, but the thing is, she was a very large, heavy set women, one that most men would never look at twice. Can you imagine what Kevin did? He reached up, above all the screaming, young and vibrant women, and touched the cheek of that older heavy set woman. You know that had to have meant the world to her. She cried tears of pure joy, and to me, that Kevin had the thought of mind to do that, in the atmosphere he was in, and to even have any idea of what that one gesture meant to that woman, that made him even more attractive and that much more appealing to me.




As the years went on, and I grew older, but not as yet wiser. Around the age of 13, I decided that life wasn't something that I wanted to stick around for. I wasn't happy, I didn't feel loved, and to me, if life was never going to get any better, why be in it? So, I said my good-byes, made up a little party mix of enough pain killers, sleeping pills, and alcohol to kill a small elephant, and sat down on my bed to go to sleep forever. As I was sitting there, and feeling (I admit it) sorry for myself, something that I can call nothing less than miraculous happened........ There on the TV was a commercial, a Pizza Inn commercial. There was my Kevin. He was with Mike and Kerry trying to sell us some pizza, but this was after they had lost brother David, and yet they were still going on, still smiling. He looked so happy, and to hear him to tell it, he was still loving his fans. I don't to this day know if it was God, or Kevin, or as Kevin told me not long ago, God was using Kevin, the one thing that I cared about at that time, to wake me up and make me see that maybe, just maybe life would get better.

So, I put away the pills, knowing that they were still there, at any time that I needed em, but I decided to stick around for just a bit longer. And you know, each day turned to another, and then one day I knew somehow that it would be ok. It might never ever be perfect. I might never have 100 friends and a size 6 body, but you know, I could be the best Pam that I could be. I sat down, had a good cry and I thanked God for saving me, and for using Kevin to let me still be around. I promised both of them on that day, (even though Kevin couldn't hear me), that I would find a way to thank both God and Kevin, heck maybe even the entire VonErich family, and show them how much gratitude I had, for all the ways they had touched my life.
I got my chance, on August 27, 1991. Her name is Kevan Kaytlin, and to me, she is my promise kept. I named her Kevan, after big Kevin, but for many reasons. Each and every time I call her name, whether it's to say "Kevan I love you", or to yell at her for something that she's gotten into, each and every time I say her name, I'm also saying "Thank you God, for letting me still be here and to be able to be alive and do be this girl's mama".



She is proud of the fact that she is named after such a great man. I don't know who was more excited the day we finally got to meet Kevin for real and share our story with him. Of course I should mention that I also have an older daughter whose name is Krysten, and she is named after Kevin's oldest daughter Kristen. I can tell you one thing, we were all 3 shaking in our shoes. I was terrified that he would think that I was stupid for doing something so goofy as naming my daughter after him. But he was gracious as always, and seemed very touched about the entire thing. My Kevan asked him if she could take him to school with her for show and tell. She wanted everyone to meet her namesake. We all got a big laugh out of that.
From that day on, we formed a friendship, and from that friendship, Kevin allowed me to become a part of VonErich.Com. Then came along with a couple of girlfriends, as much VonErich nuts as I am, only they had the other brothers as favorites, and that is how this site came to be here.

I want to thank everyone for reading this, and for listening. I think that writing this was one of the hardest things I've done in a long time, but it's also helped me. Thanks Kev, you will always hold a very special spot in my heart. I love you always. Both of you. Thank you Kevin, for being so great, for being you, and for being a wonderful hero to a young girl that really needed one.
