My deepest sympathies to Deb , the Kuehl family and all who knew and loved Kevin. I have lost a great friend but was blessed to have experienced a multitude of memorable moments with him. RIP Kool Man
My sincere condolences on th e passing of Kevin.
We were shocked to hear of your Brother’ Kevin’s passing , this is a difficult time for your family,we will keep you all in our prayers.
I’m stunned and heartbroken to hear hear about Kevin. My teammate all four years and roommate during our senior year at Creighton. He was an outstanding ball player, amazing man and someone who lived life to the fullest. The time we spent together was amazing, joyous and his devilish charm was as infectious as his smile and laugh. We had a hellacious amount of crazy good times. He and the entire Kuehl family were so wonderful to me during my time in Omaha. I’m forever grateful for the time we spent together. Rest in peace my friend.
So so sorry to hear of Kevin’s passing. Kev was one of the first persons I met in the fall of 1978 at CREIGHTON. Like Tim McConnell said, he did live life to the fullest and will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Kuehl family.
Deb, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Please let me know if there is anything you need.
So sorry for your loss Deb…

Condolence and prayers for everyone feeling the loss of Kev. He was such a great support in making the transition of ABEX to private ownership. He was a great leader in enjoying life and having fun and team bonding as a SWIG. A seriously good guy and a great fun. Ol’ Payne will be missing you. R I P Kev.
Kevin was such a great guy and a type of person who could make any person’s life better by just being around him.
May God bless you Debbie and family with wonderful memories until you meet again.
Extending our deepest
condolences.

My heart is hurting for Deb and Kuehl family. Kevin was just someone you always wanted to be around. Whether it was infectious laugh, or his story telling, or just the kindness he treated everyone with, he was just someone you always enjoyed, and looked forward to, being around. I have so many fond memories of Kevin from my time in Kansas City. From golfing, to betting Hollywood Park races on Friday nights, man he always made whatever we were doing fun. I am blessed to be among those who can call Kevin a friend.
I’ve known Kevin since he was in the 5th grade (playing on the 7th grade team). I cherish his memory. Please let me know when the KC memorial will be.
My prayers are with everyone that touched Kevin’s heart. I went to Creighton, and he was such a wonderful person. My love and prayers are with him, and May Kevin Rest in Peace.

My condolences to the Kuehl family. What a great guy from a great family. I grew up with Kevin back in the 70s. He was a great neighbor, friend, mentor and quite the guy to aspire . Truly, he was one of the nicest guys in the world.
Prayers and Blessings to the Kuehl family
I will miss you my brother., my running mate, and teammate. We had great times together. Forever grateful to you and your family taking me in as their ninth son. I will miss you until we meet again. Love THE FLy.!
I am so saddened losing Kevin. The time Brian and I spent in Omaha was made so much better after we met him. His parents and his brothers were so welcoming. Kevin will live on in our hearts and we will miss him. Rest in peace my friend.
My brother, running mate, and teammate. I will miss you but our memories will never die! Forever grateful to you and your family taking me in as their ninth son . Love FLY . PS still cherish that golden whistle your mom gave me knowing I. Was going to be a Coach.
My deepest sympathies to Deb and the Kuehl family. I met Kevin shortly after graduation from Creighton and ultimately hired him into the railroad industry. His magnetic personality made him a perfect fit for sales and people loved to be in his company. I for one have so many memories of our times together and he will indeed be missed.
Our heartfelt condolences to entire the Kuehl family as you move through this very difficult loss.
My heart goes out to all of the Kuehl Family!
Sending hugs and prayers to Kevin’s family. He was such a great guy.
My deepest sympathies to the entire Kuehl family. I appreciate everything Kevin has done to help me throughout the years and he will be deeply missed..
My sympathies to the Kuehl family! Kevin was well respected in the Rail Industry. I enjoyed knowing him and working with him. He always took the time to say hello and was always around to help me out anyway he could. He’s a great man!
My condolences to the Kuehl family, I enjoyed working with Kevin, very respected in the Rail Industry. He will be missed.
Tammy and I were so saddened to hear of Kevin’s passing. We were fortunate to have caught up with him back in October at RSI in Indy and had some good laughs reminiscing! Passing along our heartfelt sympathies to Deb, Lauren, and the extended Kuehl family and friends alike. May he rest in peace.
Rest in Peace, Kevin.
We have prayers for you Kevin and your family…..
Kevin, we have you and your family in our hearts and prayers….
There are no words to say. Mick and I will miss you forever! We first met in the early 70″s and there is no end to the stories we could tell. Kevin was the Best Man in our wedding and that is a really good description of Kevin. Debbie, we love you and know that if you need anything… Lauren, all our love. To all the Kuehl brothers and your families, love you all.
Was Scott Hawk’s assistant at Cathedral. We talked many times about how Prep got upset in ’74 without a wild card. That Prep team was outstanding. Was the sixth man on Fremont’s team that year. Lost to Central in the semis at state. Scott told me how Prep had beat them several times that year. Kevin was a very integral part of that team. Probably the reason the wild card berth was started. When the boys at Cathedral won state in ’86, I remember Scott wanting to hold the trophy, because he didn’t get to in high school. Kevin, please know that your excellent career was noticed and appreciated by this Fremont Tiger. Much respect-Coach Kupfer
My condolences to the entire Kuehl family. So sorry to hear of Kevin’s passing so young. Prayers to you all….
RIP Kool. I’m going miss our Royals-Sox bet and talking horses with you my friend.
Condolences to Deb, Lauren and the Kuehl family.
My deepest sympathies to the entire Kuehl family.
All the Halpine cousins send their understanding of another loss of a brother gone too soon. Those picnics at the Kuehl acreage in the sixties were some of the fondest childhood memories. Kevin wrangled Stormy with the rest of us for a bit of the cowboy experience we hold precious.
A great golfing buddy and business friend. I’m am so sad to hear this. He was a Kool Man, groovy as well. I still owe him lunch on a football bet someday will get it. Some of my best days were golfing with Kevin at Milburn Country Club. Condolences to all.
My deepest sympathy to the Kuehl family. Such great memories growing up with all our cousins. Yes the family picnics at the Kuehl home were awesome. Kevin was part of a great family and will be missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in peace.
I’m so saddened to hear of Kevin’s passing. Deepest condolences to Deb, Lauren, and the entire Kuehl family.
RIP OG Bubs….So many great memories as a teammate and friend…..you are missed. Prayers to Debbie, Lauren and whole Kuehl Family.
Thinking of the entire Kuehl family during this sad time and sending prayers. Our family grew up just down street from the “cool” Kuehl boys. We have so many fun memories from that time. The Kuehl’s have lost some wonderful people way too soon. I was really good friends with Debbie and Terry. My brother, Pete, hung out with Kevin and Danny during those childhood days. Be comforted knowing you have those Kuehl heavenly angels watching over you.
Family and friends of Kevin so sorry to hear that Kevin has passed from this earthly realm. What a wonderful man and friend he is greatly missed. It is evident from the condolences how much he was loved Rest In Peace my friend.
I am very sad to hear of your loss. Hope you and your family the best in finding peace! Luv ya sis!
