Our Kev

Kev called me "Sis" from the get go. I loved him like my own brother. We had so many laughs, sometimes at his expense. We loved playing Rummikub, he made me laugh so hard at his whistling, his antics, anything to distract his opponent. I always enjoyed our discussions about fishing, he and I shared a love of seafood and he and I ate the pickled herring at Christmas dinner. He was one of a kind, he loved to make us all laugh. Your kind heart was a rarity in this world. Save a spot at the game...

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I always enjoyed Kevin's sense of humor, especially on our family fishing trip to Canada. He loved to fish!

Hugs and prayers,

Ruth Ann Belding

There is an old saying "down on the farm." Kevin took that to heart--he enjoyed being down on the family farm. He liked driving a tractor or hauling grain to the elevator, but he especially enjoyed visiting with family and friends.

Kevin's quick thinking got me help when I went into cardiac arrest. God works in mysterious ways and has a plan for us all. His plan that day was to have Kevin there for me.

Kevin, rest in peace. You will always be my guardian angel!

Uncle Kevin, you will be greatly missed. Thank you for all of the laughs. I will always remember you as having a big, soft heart filled with so much love for your family and friends.❤

Prayers to the family
