It was heartbreaking to hear from the police that Kevon (pronounced Kee-von) had spoke to his family at 1:30 AM on his break, then the fire exploded at 2 AM.

None of them knew that would be the last time they would ever speak to their loved one(s) again.

They went to the parking lot of the distribution center and found his car still in the parking lot, with all of his possessions inside, but no sign of him.

They say that they knew then that he didn't make it out of the fire.

So sad......

He was only 21 and had just started working there 3 weeks ago.

Rest in peace, Kevon....

So heartbreaking and tragic to read and to see Kevon with his young son. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. May you rest in eternal peace, Kevon.

@KingstonsMom thanks for the picture. The huge fires can feel impersonal, but not once I see the faces of the victims. So sad.

Posted: December 20, 2021 Update on the Fire at QVC’s Rocky Mount Facility

On behalf of QVC and all our team members, we are heartbroken to learn of the passing of one of our contractor colleagues in the wake of the tragic fire at our QVC Rocky Mount distribution facility in North Carolina. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Maybe it's just me, is it necessary to point ou tto everyone this young man worked for one of their contractors, I don't think so. No mention of his name? It's not right.
