Kevin R. Gainey, died unexpectedly on Sunday May 8, 2022 at Lynnhurstt Nursing Home in St. Paul.

Kevin was born on Nov. 21, 1962 to parents Betty and Raymond Gainey in Owatonna. He was their eighth child.

He attended St. Mary’s grade school and graduated from Owatonna High School where he loved playing football. Kevin worked various manufacturing jobs in Owatonna during his life.

He enjoyed music, nature, fishing, motorcycle riding, and antiquing. His family “nickname” was “Kubby Bear” for his soft spoken and gentle nature. He loved our large expanding family and was always inquiring about others and how they were doing. Our mother was most dear to him. He was a very kind and caring soul.

He is survived by his siblings Mary Anne (Jerry) Wolesky, Michael (Kathy) Gainey, Kathleen (John) Ihlenfeld, Patrick Gainey, Daniel (Anne) Gainey, Timothy (Lori) Gainey, Colleen Hougas, Raymond (Becky) Gainey. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews and their children.

He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents. Blessed be his memory in our family.
