Kevin Niggemann Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 2, 2025.
Kevin Niggemann, 68, passed away on January 26, 2025, in Golden Valley, Minnesota.

Born on July 4, 1956, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kevin lived a life filled with passion, adventure, and deep connections with those he loved. He was a devoted husband to his wife of 45 years, Jane (Schaus), and a cherished brother to Allen Niggemann (Linda), Karl Niggemann (Regina), and Joann (Keith) Olson. He also leaves behind 14 nieces and nephews, as well as beloved great-nieces and great-nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Karl and Loraine Niggemann, and his brother-in-law, Mark Schaus.

Kevin had an undeniable love for cars, motorcycles, and motorsports-he was happiest with a wrench in his hand. His enthusiasm for mechanics and the open road was more than just a hobby; it was a lifelong passion that brought him joy and camaraderie with fellow enthusiasts.

Beyond his love for machines, Kevin had a deep appreciation for nature. Upon retiring to St. Germain in the Northwoods, he embraced the beauty of the outdoors without hesitation or regret. The tranquility of the woods became his sanctuary, where he found peace and fulfillment in all that nature had to offer.

Kevin's kindness extended not only to people but also to animals. A devoted dog owner, he and Jane were known for providing such loving care that friends would often joke that if they could come back as a dog, they would want to be theirs. His warmth and generosity touched many lives-both human and canine alike.

A wonderful husband and beloved companion, Kevin will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to those who loved him. Per Kevin's wishes, no funeral will be held. A family gathering will be held graveside.
