Kenny was born October 19, 1924 to Leo and Loretta (Kelly) Bevins. Kenny's life was filled with service and hard work. After graduating from Belle Plaine High School in 1944, he proudly served his country in the United States Navy. From there he attended Iowa State University, worked on the railroad, and did construction through 1953. He then spent 18 years as a barber, 17 years as owner of Bevins Refuse, and then retiring as a school bus driver after 14 years. Kenny's forever home was always Benton county.
He was a member of the Belle Plaine American Legion for 73 proud years. Kenny was always very grateful that his four siblings (boys) joined the service and all came back to Belle Plaine alive. He loved telling people he belonged to ICCD (Irish Catholic Cyclone Democrat) club!
Surviving Kenny is two sons, Jeff (Deena) and Pat (Sheila); two daughters Lisa Bevins and Kelly (Randy) Pickart; grandchildren, Michaela (Justin) Biggart, Sierra (Justin) DeVoe, Beau (Britni) Jack, Tara Jo (Billy) Saul, Blake Jack, Tiffany (Devin) Rinderknecht, Jared Bevins, Haley Stalcup, Paige Pickart, Collin Bevins, Grant Bevins, and Garrett Stalcup; great-grandchildren Ellie and Jaxon Biggart, Quintin, Braxton, and Kinley DeVoe, Rayegan Rinderknecht, Bryer, Bryndal, Brystal, and Bowyn Jack, and Logan Saul; and nieces and nephews he adored.
Kenny was preceded in death by his parents, sister and brother-in-law Mary Ann (Leonard) Pohlmann, brothers and sisters-in-law Chuck (Ann), twin Keith (Wilma), and Mike (Bette).
