Kevin Wilkins

1967 - 2025

Kevin Michael Wilkins, 58, of Lincoln, Nebraska, passed away on November 4, 2025, after a five-year battle with metastatic prostate cancer. Born August 7, 1967, he was a brilliant writer, trusted friend, and devoted father, husband, brother, and son.

Kevin was a deeply creative and inspiring skateboarder, cyclist, artist, and athlete whose writing profoundly influenced the landscape of skateboarding over the last four decades. A connector, creative thinker, and champion for those he loved, he was his family's joy, humor, creativity, and passion personified.

Kevin lived with cancer for five years, and after a hard-fought battle, he spent his final days at home, surrounded by family and friends. He is survived by the love of his life and wife of 34 years, Cheryl; their children, Miles and Cian; his parents, Kemper and Peggy; his siblings, Patrick, Katie, Robbie, and Annie; his brother- and sisters-in- law, Marcia, Nancy, Nicky, and Glen; and by nieces, nephews, extended family, and countless wonderful friends.

Kevin's Celebration of Life will be held from 4:00� 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 29th, at the Lincoln Station Great Hall in Lincoln, Nebraska. A Mass will also be offered at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 26th, at Saint John's Church in Omaha, on the Creighton University campus. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lincoln Skatepark Association or to the Great Plains Trails Network.
