His sisters Deb (Curt) Mackie of Grundy Center and Tammi (Mitch) Woosley of Marshalltown. 13 nieces and nephews, and a great niece and great nephew. All of Kevin's high school friends and his friends in Orlando will miss him very much. He was a loyal friend to many. Everyone of his nieces and nephews could tell you stories of their time with Uncle Kevin, he was one in a million to them and they all thought he was very special. When Kevin and his family got together there were always stories from long ago and stories from the more recent years when he moved briefly back to Iowa to try and tough out the Iowa cold! He never could get used to it again and ended up back in his home in Orlando with his family and many friends.

Kevin was preceded in death by his grandparents Fred and Helen Kaufmann of Conrad and Irwin and Helen Hill of Gladbrook, Aunt and Uncle, Dort and Don Erickson of Conrad, and his dog Renegade.

Kevin could light up a room like no one else. He had a presence about him that made you want to talk to him. He enjoyed life to the fullest. He was an avid Harley rider and he lived to ride.
