Kevin was born at St. Andrews Hospital in Bottineau on December 13, 1954 to Christian and Denise Milbrath. He grew up in Gardena and then attended school in Bottineau graduating high school. He then attended Lake Regional State College in Devils Lake taking training in cabinet making.

He then started farming with his Dad in Gardena and he worked at the Gardena school as a custodian until it closed. He also worked in the same capacity at the United Parish, Dakota College-Bottineau, Bottineau Armory, and ending his career at Walmart until he retired.

He also had a hobby of stained glass, making mirrors, crosses and lamps. Kevin also sang at many weddings and funerals. He had a beautiful tenor voice. After retirement, he enjoyed the open road on his motorcycle with fellow riders.

He was a kind soul with an infectious laugh and always ready to tell a joke. He played Santa Claus for many years enjoying every moment. He truly will be missed.

He is survived by his brother Michael (Donna) of Marshall, MN, nephew Christopher Milbrath of Colorado and his family and niece Nichole of Colorado and many extended family members.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Daniel.

God bless you Kevin.
