Speaking during the morning show on Classic 105, Maina paid tribute to Kevin saying that he had called Dennis Oliech and extended his condolences.

'Dennis Oliech’s brother was so young with so much talent.

I interacted with him for so long it was incredible seeing his talent. One day cancer too shall die. Rest in peace. 

He was a young kid, that’s just what is heartbreaking.

I spoke to Dennis Oliech and told him his kid brother was so young, he was vibrant and energetic by the time they discovered the cancer it was too late.

That is suffering, he fought hard. Dennis you are in our thoughts and prayers and thanks for calling me back, it was important that we speak.’

Kevin had been in and out hospitals.

His death comes barely two years after the Oliech family lost their mother to cancer. We send our condolences and wish the family peace and grace during these difficult times.
