RESCH, KEVIN PATRICK
Appleton

Age 44, died Tuesday, September 21, 2004, after a long, courageous battle with cancer. He died at his home, surrounded by his family and friends. Kevin was born on February 12, 1960, in Neenah, to Roman and Colleen (Mackin) Resch. He married Kathy Lemery on August 23, 1986, in Appleton. Kevin was employed by Public Works Department of the City of Appleton for 17 years. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy from 1978 to 1982. Kevin was also well-known for his skills and abilities in construction and remodeling. The theme of helping others was primary in Kevin’s life; he eagerly offered help to many friends and neighbors with their personal remodeling projects. Kevin’s distinctive sense of humor will be greatly missed. With a skill inherited from his father, Kevin was a masterful cook. He was also an avid Packer fan. Undoubtedly the time spent with his family was Kevin’s greatest enjoyment.

Friends may call directly at the funeral home on Friday from 4:00 p.m. until the time of services. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established in Kevin’s name.
