Kevin was a great guy, I was very shocked at the news of his death. I’ve known Kevin since ’96. He has always been a very up beat person. We talked back-and-forth about bakery business and he always had a smile.
I recently saw Kevin last Spring, when he got several of us “old timers” together; Norm, John, Kenny and I. We had a great time. Kevin truly cared about other people, and he will be dearly missed by Rick Whyle.

The news of Kevin’s passing came as a shock. I always enjoyed our visits, his sense of humor, and his down-to-earth nature. He had a youthful spirit, never taking himself too seriously and appreciating the many thrills that life had to offer. My heart goes out to Jared, Zach, Kim, and the rest of Kevin’s family—may love and support shower upon you all as you move through this time of grief and healing. God bless…
Kevin did so much to help me w my schedule 24 years ago when I needed to work around a very sick child. I worked with him at hy-vee and Hockenberg, I guess for more years than I thought. I’m grateful to have known him and shared so many laughs. Condolences to you all on your loss of a dear loved one.
