Kevin was born June 27, 1966, in Marengo, the son of Richard Lee and Bonnie Hall Neitzel. He was raised in Marengo and later Davenport where he was a 1984 graduate of Davenport Community School. He was a veteran of the United States Army.
On November 3, 1984, he was united in marriage to Michelle Sattler, at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Davenport. The couple were later divorced.
Kevin lived in Arlington, Texas and was employed in the Coating Dept. of Tex Star, a military related company, for many years. He moved to Guernsey in 2001 to be near his mother. For several years he was employed at Stiches Galore in Kalona as a sewing machine tech, as a janitor for the BGM School District and Corner Stone Quilt, again as a sewing machine tech. He's been an independent sewing tech for approximately the last 10 years.
Kevin attended the Guernsey United Methodist Church where he was a good volunteer. His passions were riding his Harley Davidson and music. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle throughout the state, building guitars, working as a sound tech for several bands in the Quad City area, and machine quilting for others.
