We were blessed to learn many valuable lessons from Kenny the 54 years he was with us. Among them: never be too busy to lend a helping hand, greet everyone with a hug and a smile, and always be the loudest fan in the stands.

Kenneth Nick Feldewerd was born November 11, 1963 in Melrose, Minnesota to Erwin and Dorene (Bueckers) Feldewerd. He graduated from Melrose High School in 1982 and stayed the #1 sports fan of the Dutchmen, rarely missing a game of any sport. Kenny was also a bus driver for the Melrose School District and enjoyed watching the kids grow up. He was united in marriage to Arlene Fredrick on October 20, 1984 at St. Louis Catholic Church in Paynesville. He loved to spend time with his family and friends as well as going on motorcycle rides, fishing, hunting, and camping.

He was a self-employed construction worker for many years and his family will remember him by always having a project to work on.
Kenny was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.
