Kevin Lumsden Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 26, 2012.
Lumsden, Kevin Patrick Kevin, age 59, died on Wednesday, January 25, 2012, surrounded by his family and friends. Kevin was born on May 21, 1952 and grew up in Bloomington, where he forged life- long friendships with his fellow mischievous rogues. He lived life to the fullest and was never far from getting into trouble, but did it with good- hearted flair, making delightful memories for himself, his friends and his family. Kevin learned the cobblers trade when he was 14 and went on to own his own shoe repair businesses in Burnsville, Apple Valley and Eagan over the past 40 years. Left to cherish his memory and tell the tales are his wife, Dynelle of Bloomington; mother, Marilynn of Burnsville; father, Robert of St. Paul; sister, Sherry and brother, Mark of Burnsville; niece, Lindsay of Mpls.; as well as other relatives and many friends. Memorial gathering, Saturday, January 28 from 1:00-3:00 PM at Gill Brothers Funeral Home, 9947 Lyndale Av. S. www.GILLBROTHERS.com Bloomington Chapel 952-888-7771

Kevin,
Thanks again for your kindness to me many years ago when visiting Grampa Lumsden near hubbard. For some reason I still think of you every time I see or wear driving gloves. I wish I could remember what kind of sports car you had back then. Datsun, I think. Dynelle, I don't think I ever had the pleasure of meeting you but our thoughts and prayers are with you. All the best, Scott Lumsden

Looking back (way back) to the Portland Jr Hi days, Kevin was the best at finding trouble and even better at getting out of it. His smile and that laugh will live on in everyone he met. Dynelle, you have more prayers for you and yours than you can ever imagine, you have both touched so many. Until the party on the "other side"....

As I read Dynelle's entry, my heart is so sad for her. Oh, Kevin, you will be missed so much by the people that knew and loved you. The smiles you put on our faces are forever in our memories when we think of you. Rest in peace until we meet again and when we do, we know you will put a smile on our faces again.

Keven, Dynelle and I had so many fun times in Vegas. I remember how excited he was at the Belllagio when he hit a royal flush on the poker machine while sitting at the bar waiting for Dynelle. No one could light up with joy the way Lumpy could...

Dynelle, Sherry, Mark, Marilynn, and John,

I just learned of Kevin's death. I am so sorry! I haven't seen Kevin in almost 40 years. I have so many fond memories of our youth together and with you, his family. Dynelle, I cannot imagine your loss. My heart goes out to you all.

Kevin, you are my love, my best friend and I miss you deeply. My heart hurts so bad I feel it will not heal. How do I carry on without you? You were there to make me smile when I was feeling blue and made me laugh at times when I didn't think laughter was possible. Your big heart glowed gold with your enthusiasm for life and adventure. Every single person's life you have touched will tell the tales for years to come and keep you close to their hearts; especially me, your biggest fan and admirer.
I love you forever
~Dynelle
O God, please help me. (I'm crying) Take care of him for me until I reunite with him later in eternity.

He will always be my uncle Kevy. He was so much fun - I will always cherish our time riding together on his motorcycle when I was younger. I will miss him and think of him often.

Lumpy left allot of smiles on my face, and had a heart of Gold. May the good Lord look over his family at this very difficult time. Live with the memories, and share them every chance you get. RHP Kevin.

We were saddened to hear about Kevin's passing. My wife Terry and I had many good times together with him. I particularly remember skiing in Montana and racing Grand Nationals in Bowling Green, KY. Kevin had a way of lightening the the mood with his good natured quick wit and charm. Those and other fond memories will be the theme when our thoughts turn to his memory. See you in another life brother!
