Kevin German
May 17, 1968 – Feb 20, 2024
Kevin was born to Steve and Genny German in Unity, Saskatchewan on May 17th 1968. He was the third of four children. Kevin’s younger years were spent moving around Saskatchewan and Alberta while his parents were growing their family business. The family moved to Kindersley, Saskatchewan in 1974 where Kevin grew up around construction sites and working on the family farm.
Kevin attended Elizabeth School and Kindersley Composite High School where he forged many lasting friendships. After school, Kevin worked a few jobs around town and eventually ended up working in the oilfield for the majority of his life.
Kevin married and had three children, Cole, Fontana and Hayley who were the focus of his life. They fondly remember their Dad taking them golfing, fishing and to the rodeo. Kevin was a movie buff and the family would frequently sit down to movie night where they watched everything from ‘An American Tail’ to John Wayne classics.
Kevin was relaxed and easy going. He had a great laugh that was familiar to many of those he encountered. His friends closest to him remember him for always being up for fun and perhaps a little mischief. He was always there for his friends and family when needed.
Kevin always loved the smell of a new vehicle and considered himself a car fanatic; so much so, he went through many vehicles in his younger years.
Kevin was thoughtful, whether it was always buying his God-son Justin a new model car every year at Christmas or attending his grandson Sam’s hockey games.
He lived in the present, that and his easy going nature made the last few months of his life a source of comfort to his family. Kevin quietly and courageously battled cancer for nine months before his passing. He never complained and when asked how he was doing, he always said he was doing fine.
Kevin passed away on February 20th at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon surrounded by his family and he is predeceased by his parents and Daisy.
Kevin leaves to mourn his passing his children Cole (Whitney), Fontana (Zach), Hayley (Patrick) and his grandson Samuel, as well as his siblings Miles (Michelle), Dale and Melinda. He also leaves behind his nephews Derrick, Justin and Tyler and niece Alannah and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Because Kevin never missed a rodeo in Kindersley, in lieu of flowers the family would like donations to be made to the Kindersley Indoor Rodeo in his name to: Box 1375, Kindersley, SK S0L 1S0
There will be a Memorial Service held for Kevin from St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 600 - 4th Ave West, Kindersley, SK on March 1, 2022 at 2:00 p.m., with Rev. Fr. John Abban-Bonsu as celebrant.
Kevin will be interred in Merrington Cemetery at a later date.
