Wichita, Kansas - Kevin Kent Pfeifer passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 20th, 2022, at the age of 67. Kevin was born on December 20th, 1954, into the loving family of Betty and Simon Pfeifer where he had three sisters and a brother. Growing up Kevin enjoyed playing baseball, fishing and hunting. After graduating from Kapaun Mt Carmel, Kevin went on to follow his passion for baseball and became an outstanding pitcher in the National Baseball Congress. Shortly after, Kevin began working for Godfather's Pizza which inspired him to start his own business. In 1978, Kevin developed Gambino's Pizza in Parsons, KS and helped family members and several associates into the business. Over the next several years Gambino's expanded with another 25 franchised stores. During that time, Kevin fell in love and married Valerie Delfin and went on to raise his boys. With the persistent spirit of a true entrepreneur, Kevin continued to open other pizza concepts with the final one being Kilroy's Pizza in Sedgwick, KS, 27 years ago. This was his final business which he passed down to his sons. His legacy will live on as a devoted father of three and stepfather to two, all of them boys, and a warmhearted "Papa" to four grandchildren. He will always be remembered for his friendly conversation, generosity, and general fervor for life. Survived by sisters, Deanna Cartwright, Vicki Humphrey, Maria Seiler; brother, Daniel Pfeifer; sons, Joshua, Mike, Christopher Pfeifer; step-sons, Jeremy Pfeifer and Jason Satterfield.
