Kevin Roosdahl
Kevin was an avid member of the our community developing his public speaking and leadership skills. He was a member of multiple clubs and regional positions developing the clubs and building membership. These were more than clubs as the members are some of his close friends.
Kevin’s friends and family identified him as “Panglossian - characterized by or given to extreme optimism, especially in the face of unrelieved hardship or adversity”. Through this battle with cancer he never let go of enjoying each day to the fullest.
