Shortly after they moved to Prescott, Arizona where they settled and raised their children.

Kevin served the Prescott area as a community expert in the window covering business for over 25 years.

He was a social butterfly and his servant leadership stood out in all of his encounters.

Kevin was known for possessing great wit and humor, and his enthusiasm and passion for having fun in life. Family and friends delighted in many movies, great restaurant experiences, and sporting events with Kevin. He especially enjoyed watching and celebrating his home state college football team, the Iowa Hawkeyes. He shared many rounds of golf with his father and friends. More recently, his favorite sport to play was Pickle ball. He was Prescott’s first USAPA Ambassador.

Others knew Kevin for his persistence in friendship, and genuine concern for the well-being of those closest to him. He provided guidance, inspiration and encouragement to many people throughout his life. He enjoyed playing an active role in his children’s lives as a mentor and father, and watched them all grow to be successful young adults.

A man of faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ, Kevin now joins his almighty Father in heaven. He will be deeply missed by Friends, Family and all those he touched throughout his life.
