Kevin Kendhammer, 68, passed away on Monday, March 2, 2020 surrounded by his loving family. Kevin was born April 28, 1951 to Jack and Lee Kendhammer in La Crosse, Wisconsin. To the surprise of the Nuns at Aquinas Catholic High School Kevin graduated in 1969 and even went on to complete his Associates Degree. Kevin moved to Chesapeake, Virginia with his family in 1985 and spent the majority of his career working at Daltile and International Tile.
What’s not to love about a man who loved his children and grandchildren more than anything in the world. Kevin is survived by his two daughters, Jessica Boggs and her husband Chuck Boggs of Chesapeake, Virginia, Rhea Overbeck and her husband Matt Overbeck of Moyock, North Carolina; four grandchildren, Mason and Trinity Boggs, Wyatt and Madison Overbeck; loving extended family Donna and Mike Cushing, Kristen Cushing and Carter Davis; brothers, Joe Kendhammer and wife Jody Kendhammer, Doug Kendhammer and wife Debbie Kendhammer; sister-in-law Lillie Boardman and several nieces and nephews. Kevin was preceded in death by his parents and three half-brothers, Dick & John Kendhammer, and Bob Boardman.
Kevin not only loved to party, but was the life of the party. He spent many weekends playing cards with family and friends while taking the ship out to the bay with Captain Morgan at the helm. He loved spending time outdoors and riding on his chariot aka “The Toro”. There was nothing he and his mower couldn’t tackle including cars, campers and garden hoses. He had a special touch for flowers and gardening, but trees and shrubs trembled at the sight of him carrying pruners. Kevin’s laughter was infectious and his smile was unforgettable. His spirit and love for his family will never be forgotten. We will celebrate Kevin’s life exactly as he wanted with a party filled with music, laughter and plenty of sunshine on Saturday, September 5, 2020 at 3:00 pm, at 2009 Beaver Dam Court, Chesapeake, Virginia.
Condolences may be left to the family below.

I am so sorry to hear of Kevin’s passing. He was a wonderful person and friend. I know that he is greatly missed. With fond memories, Melody Bartley
My prayers and sympathy to the family. Kevin and I graduated from Aquinas High School in 1969. I appreciated Kevin’s sense of humor.
Ron, Tyler and I are thinking of you. We only met Kevin twice, during Jambo weekends, which is not a simple meeting by any means!! Everyone had fun at Jambo and Kevin was no acceptation!! It was obvious to us that he was LOVED by his family and he LOVED his family. He will be smiling down from heaven for this years Jambo so raise a Jell-O shot and commemorate Kevin’s amazing life and the happiness he brought to everyone. Hugs and kisses to you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
He was definitely the life of the party and always sweet! My heart goes out to all of you!
The fun and laughter he brought to all when he sang Witchi-Tai-To with such conviction and emotion. Still makes me smile when I think of that song.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you can hold on to the joyous memories and feel his love.
