In Loving Memory of Kevin Baron

Kevin passed peacefully on November 22, 2024 in his home, surrounded with love and support from my mom and I.

Many of you know, Kevin fought a tireless battle against cancer over the last 2.5 years, however this was not his first bout of cancer. Throughout the countless appointments, treatments, hospitalizations, and side effects, he continued to show up for his family, friends and colleagues. It is absolutely devastating to know that cancer does not care about effort - despite his unwavering attempts to hear the words "in remission" again. Ultimately, cancer took our favorite guy from us.

To know Kevin, is to love him.

To love his sarcasm and wit, to appreciate his knowledge, to embrace his kindness, to see his outstanding work ethic, to feel his friendship, and ultimately for my mom and I - to know his love for us.

Since his passing, so many of you have asked "how can I help?" and we have not known how to answer, we have not known what is needed - unprepared for this to have happened so soon. We are beyond appreciative for the food/beverages, flowers, and company thus far, however we know not everyone is able to visit us, drop off meals, bring flowers, etc.

Starting this fundraiser is an opportunity for folks to help in a way that may feel accessible and central. Any funds raised will be used to ease the financial burden of funeral/memorial costs, pay remaining medical costs of Kevin's treatments, and ultimately allow my mom and I some time to grieve without the pressure of returning to work immediately.

Your generosity, no matter the size, is so impactful.

If you would prefer to drop off a meal, send a card, or anything else at this time, please message me and I will provide the address.

The gift of sharing this page with friends, colleagues or whomever had the pleasure of knowing the best guy around, is also greatly appreciated <3

We welcome you joining us for Kevin's memorial services on December 7th, from 12-4PM* at Williams Dingmann Funeral Home in Sauk Rapids, MN

*Please note the time has been adjusted from 2-6PM, to accommodate the Jingle + Mingle Parade in Sauk Rapids that is occurring that evening.

Thank you for all the love, kindness, thoughts, prayers and more throughout Kevin's battle. We know wholeheartedly he felt it all.
