Open Letter To The Alpharetta Community
categories: Alpharetta Real Estate, Announcements
It is with a sense of sadness and great respect that I write this post to the community and colleagues that knew Kevin Warmath, both personally and through this blog. Many of you already know that Kevin unexpectedly left us this past January. You may even be one of the many people who have left memories and messages to the family at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/kevinwarmath. For those of you that did not know him, Kevin was a Father, Husband and well respected Realtor in the community; he left an indelible imprint of himself and his views in this forum he created.
If you are a regular reader you probably have become so because he was able to tie together what was going on in our communities and elsewhere, presenting it with clarity and humor. Never shy about his opinions, Kevin always communicated with a passionate honesty that you may have disagreed with but always appreciated.
I had the opportunity to meet Kevin before his real estate career began; we became fast friends and colleagues. I was one of the first people he spoke to about getting into real estate but I certainly don’t take any credit for how quickly he built his business and to the level he built it. His success is a testament to how knowledgeable and hard working he was.
The opportunities we encounter in life are sometimes sought out and sometimes born of misfortune. I’ve been given the chance to take what Kevin had started and to continue, as best I can, in the same spirit. I will do my best to honor that spirit, to continue the community that grew from it, and to do so with equal passion and honesty.

I’m very sorry to hear about Kevin’s passing. I did not know Kevin personally, but I felt like I got to know him just a little bit through his blog. He was a gifted communicator and his enthusiasm for his work and for this community came through very clearly.
My condolences to his family.
Bob,
So glad to hear you’ve picked up the torch. Kevin and this website were both a blessing to the Milton community in the service they provided. While we can’t bring Kevin back, it’s great to know the site will live on.
Best of luck to you with this.
I did not know Kevin except through this blog, so this is very surprising and sad news. Although having never personally met him, I enjoyed his posts and always loved reading his opinions on our community. My condolences go out to his family.
Bob,
Good luck with the blog. If you have any questions going forward, keep my email address and drop me a line. I’ll be happy to chat with you…
Bob Hi,
Best of luck with the Blog - it’s good to know that Kevin’s passion for this site is to be continued. I photographed Kevin last year - a photographic tribute to him and the link to my website to be found on this site under Worthy Friends (Milton Portrait Photography.
Take care

Bob,
Many of us only knew Kevin briefly, but his impression on the community was huge. Our hearts go out to the family and hope if there’s ever anything we can do, please ask. I am relieved to see you are keeping his awesome website and blog alive, and look forward to checking in and seeing what you can share.
Good luck!

Wow, I am very sorry to hear of Kevin’s passing. I read his blog religiously about 2 yrs ago when searching for a home. I enjoyed his writing ability. Just signed on for curiosity’s sake today and saw the sad news. Best wishes to his family.
Tyrone - thank you for the thoughts and kind words. Kevin was a great writer and has been missed.
