Kevin Richard 'Kevina' Kamerer, 25

Kevin Richard Kamerer passed away unexpectedly at Kalispell Regional Medical Center on Thursday, Sept. 1, 2011. He was 25 years old.

Kevin was born in Canton, Ohio, to his mother Kris Kamerer on Nov. 12, 1985. His family moved to Hungry Horse in 1995 where Kevin attended Canyon Elementary School.

Kevin enjoyed many activities in his life, including dancing, hiking, riding dirt bikes, drawing, music, playing pool, and spending time with friends and family. He loved being a dad more than anything in the world; often boasting about how his greatest accomplishment in life was being the father of two beautiful children.

Kevin had a fun-filled, mischievous personality, with a terrific sense of humor. He prided himself on always being able to put a smile on your face.  He was a kind and caring person full of love who continually put the needs of others before himself; especially his family.
