Kevin Kinzer

Kevin J. Kinzer, aged 62, of Blaine, Minnesota, passed away unexpectedly on September 6, 2025.

He was preceded in death by his father, Adolph; brothers Philip and Jon; his son Hunter; and nephew Arthur Stephen.

He is survived by his son Dane and daughter Ashley as well as several grandchildren. His surviving siblings include six brothers, Brian, Jeffrey (Vilma), Paul (Wina), Michael (Xiaohong), Darin, and Thomas; and three sisters, Gloria, Michelle (Eric) Soukup, and Kathleen (Tony) Ford. Kevin is also survived by his mother, Marilyne Dahl; several nieces and nephews; and a host of many other family members and friends.

A great thing about Kevin, he was a man who could be stoic and strongly silent one moment, and completely jovial the next. He was a dedicated father and it was the most important and cherished accomplishment in his life, to be a loving father. For everyone he was close to, he was always hospitable, generous, and dependable - he was a pillar in the lives of his friends and family. His smile was beautiful and his laughter was contagious. The loss of Kevin is felt deeply by all that love him.

As a longtime associate for Con-Way Central/XPO Logistics, Kevin's career with them spanned nearly 29 years.

Kevin was also an avid outdoorsman, and was passionate about everything from hunting and fishing, to camping, ATV riding, and had even taken an interest in bird watching. He also greatly enjoyed Star Trek and plenty of other sci-fi and fantasy classics.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, October 10th at 2:00 p.m. at Bradshaw Funeral Home, 1078 Rice St, Saint Paul, MN 55117.
