Kevin passed away peacefully at the age of 44 years on Saturday, October 24, 2015, at one of his favorite places, his hunting land at rural Parkers Prairie. Kevin was born to LeRoy “Corky” and Betty (Esteb) Seefeldt on May 26, 1971 in Staples, MN. After graduating from high school and Staples Technical College he began working as a machinist. In 2002, due to a diagnosis of Muscular Dystrophy, he quit working. He was still able to enjoy doing taxidermy work and the deer hunting and fishing that he so loved. Kevin had also been a Firearms Instructor. Quiet time provided him the opportunity to enjoy his weekly “Outdoor News” newspaper, watching cooking shows, and making his own venison brats, polish and summer sausages. Kevin shared a birthday with Hank Williams, Jr. and thoroughly enjoyed his music. Kevin was preceded in death by his father LeRoy “Corky”; father-in-law and mother-in-law Junior and Gladys Dukowitz; sister-in-law Judy Dukowitz; uncles Doug Esteb and Erbe Seefeldt; and cousin Joel Esteb. He is survived by his wife Brenda of Verndale; sons Hunter and Logan Seefeldt both of Verndale; mother Betty (Clarence “Bid”) Nyberg of Hewitt; brother Steven (Camille Chaffee) Seefeldt of Browerville; uncle Wally (Marian) Esteb and aunt Margie Seefeldt; sisters-in-law Sherie (Carl) Jansen of St. Augusta, Vonnie Smith and Linda (Dan) Hansen both of Philbrook, and JoDee (Joe) Dvorak of Eagan; along with many nieces and nephews. Honorary pallbearers will be Sam Hess, Matt Schluttner, Hunter Seefeldt and Logan Seefeldt. Serving as pallbearers will be Collin Chock, Michael Dukowitz, Terry Gilster, Eric Hybl, Bubba Rinerson and Denny Trana. Burial will be in Evergreen Hill Cemetery, Staples, MN.
