Kevin Wingate Obituary

Kevin had a love of bulldogs and his gift of gab made him a great salesman. During his life, Kevin held various jobs, including: lawn care, sold firewood, farm hand, insurance salesman, car salesman, sales manager, auctioneer, and mortgage broker. Kevin enjoyed working with his hands and used his skills to help friends with vehicles and other projects. Many would say that he wasn't willing to accept payment for any of his help as he was always willing to give a helping hand which he instilled into his sons. He enjoyed watching sports with his family. He loved supporting his boys in all of their activities and did his best to never miss their extra-curricular activities. He spent many hours devoted to his favorite activity, geocaching as auctnr, which helped him develop many friendships and a new love of travel. Kevin was also known for his large backyard parties and bonfires.
He married the love of his life, Raedeen Clough on August 12, 1995, in Pratt, Kansas. She survives of the home with their sons, Graysen Wingate of Denton and Karsen Wingate of Shady Shores, his mother, Rosa Lee Mills, sisters, Mellissa (Cy) Ricker of Kansas and Krystal (Brian) Atteberry of Kansas, grandmother Della Schooling of Kansas, mother-in-law, Donna Clough of Kansas, sister-in-law, Kelly (James) Pauling of Oklahoma, grandmother-in-law, Thelma Westerman and special family members, Rita (Ronald) James of Kansas, James (Deana) Horn of Kansas, and Cassy (Raymond) Romans of Oklahoma, numerous nieces and nephews.
