They enjoyed 18 wonderful years together spending time in Rapid City and in Pierre where they had a lake house and loved boating and fishing. Kevin and Debbie adored their dachshund, Roxy, who loved to go on rides with them in the truck and the boat. Debbie was lovingly and constantly at Kevin’s side, especially over the past year through his battle with lung cancer.
