To Kevin's family, I am sorry for your loss and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Kevin and I have been friends ever since Kindergarten at Lacota School. Though we didn't travel in the same circles, we remained friends and always enjoyed catching up, whenever we would run into each other somewhere. I have many fond memories of Kevin from grade school. We were always competing at who was taller, but Kevin left me in the dust by about the 6th grade. Lots of things come to mind and make me smile. I will always remember him. Rest In Peace My Friend.

I always enjoyed talking with Kevin, we had a lot in common and our conversations covered the spectrum. He was quite an individual and I'm honored to have called him "friend".

Around 1971 Kevin gave his huge slot car set to a little 10 year old boy who had nothing , and I will never forget that act of kindness as long as I live.

My lasting memory is of the annual trip by Elaine with Kevin to the Krader Tree Farm for The Manor 15 foot tree. Kevin was so excited and actually picked each tree a year in advance. And then, delivered and effortlessly hoisted the tree to it's place in The Manor. BIG SMILE!!! With kindness, compassion and love, Robert and Elaine.

Kevin was a dear friend of the family. Kevin would stay with us after school until his family would pick him up since we were neighbors. His friendship will be greatly missed since he was like a member of the family. He was like one of my kids.

To Kevin "Big Country" Krader, Hadn't talked to you since you left real estate, but always enjoyed dealing with you and your Mom. She cracked me up when she talked about raising you, saying she didn't care how big you were that she'd just get a bigger stick and keep you in line! Also remember the Czar days when our band Affect made the regular rounds. Your friend Greg.

We were close friends for over 15 years. Seemed like I knew you a lifetime. I feel bad to say this is the first to hear of you leaving this world. Saw this news in my phone while hunting. Remember those days. Remember selling trees out if the Winnebago. Remember Kalamazoo when my son was born. Remember running into Dr Bell in the woods and I whooped his but. I'm all choked up and eyes are watery. I miss you vato, big country, roach, juke brother, etc etc etc
