Robert Kevin Stover, age 59, of Des Moines, Iowa, is resting under the wings of the Almighty. Kevin passed on to his next life Sunday, September 29, 2019, at his home in Des Moines. Memorial Services at Anderson Funeral Homes in Marshalltown, Iowa. Memorials may be directed to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa.
Robert, or Kevin as he liked to be called, was born to Laurence and LaVonne Stover on October 28, 1959, in Huntsville, Alabama. Kevin spent his childhood living a number of places, Alabama, California, Australia, Florida, and St. Louis, before his family settled in Marshalltown, where Kevin graduated from Marshalltown High School in 1978.
Kevin graduated from Buena Vista University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in May of 1990. In October 2004, Kevin married Dorothy Overton of Des Moines and they remained married until her death in February of 2018. At the time of Kevin's passing, he was recently retired from the Telegen Corporation where he worked in IT, where he was known as the Snickers Fairy.
Kevin was a devoted husband, step-father, uncle, brother, and son. He was adored by his nephews and nieces who called him The Good Uncle. Kevin had a personal and abiding faith that carried him, with optimism, through the tough times.
He was a strong-willed survivor. Thirty four years ago, he fought off a condition that nearly took his life. Kevin never lost his fighting spirit nor his tenacity, which were evident in everything that he did.
He was active in the amateur radio community with several ham radio clubs in central Iowa under the callsign AC0H. Kevin volunteered his time in public service with these organizations.
While at times, he could be fiercely independent and opinionated, Kevin was always devoted, loyal, and kind. Kevin expressed his love for others by his actions and his presence. He had a passion for his animals, and he loved everyone he held dear. Kevin would be glad to have discussions with anyone who would listen about topics ranging from politics and events of the day to his favorite sports teams.
He was a life-long fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Green Bay Packers, and the St. Louis Cardinals. The fact that his Cardinals won their division on the day of his passing was his way of having the last word over the Cubs fans that he loved.
Kevin is survived by his parents, Laurence and LaVonne Stover, formerly of Marshalltown, now residing in Plymouth, Michigan; stepson Dustin Patrick of Des Moines; his sister, Denise (Stover) and Michael Bryan of Plymouth, Michigan; his sister, Michelle (Stover) and John Peterson of Marshalltown; his brother, Eric and Dawn Stover of Waverly, Iowa; and his sister, Kerri Stover and Cyndy Caroll of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Aunt Anita (Deane Adams) Elmore and Uncle Harley Stover of Conrad, Iowa; Aunt Jeanne Stover of Vienna, Virginia; nephews and nieces; and extended family.
