Kevin married Cindi Cook of Phoenix, AZ in 1987 at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, IA. Two children were born into this marriage of 32 years; Kurt Lynn and Cody James.

Kevin graduated from Russell Community High School in 1976.  He immediately moved to Coeur d’Alene, ID.  He worked for Cal McCullough Construction until 1981.  He then moved back to Iowa and went to work for Wausau Homes.  Kevin moved to Anchorage, AK in 1982 and found work with Ben Cook, Cindi’s dad. Shortly thereafter, Kevin met Cindi.  In 1985 Kevin and Cindi moved to Plummer, ID to work in a lumber mill.  Kevin and Cindi moved back to Russell to do home roofing and construction.  After Kevin and Cindi were married in 1987 they moved back to Anchorage, AK where Kevin became the manager for an apartment complex.  Kurt was born in 1991 and in 1991 they moved to Post Falls, ID where Kevin returned to work for Cal McCullough Construction.  Cody was born 1992.  In 1997 Kevin and Cindi returned to Russell, IA where Kevin has done general construction for the past 22 years.

Kevin loved to watch his boys play sports.  He also loved to hunt with friends, fish, gather morel mushrooms, beat his brother Al to the asparagus patch and get in an occasional golf game.  Kevin stayed busy with numerous “emergency” projects with folks in and around Russell which gave him the opportunity to regularly make new friends.
