Kevin Johnston, a postal worker and life-long resident of Miles City, Montana died unexpectedly on December 8, 2020 at the age of 59.

Kevin was born in Miles City on March 9, 1961 to Frank and Emma Johnston. He grew up in a house with one brother (Lowell) and five sisters, Brenda, Wanda, Carla, Marla and Charla.

He graduated from CCDHS in 1979 and soon after went to work with his dad at Deluxe Motors as a mechanic. He was a friendly face at M&H gas station for a few years until he found his true calling at the Miles City Post Office where he stayed for the remainder of his life. He enjoyed his fellow postal workers, and he loved getting to conversate with the people of Miles City, catching up with old friends that came through, or making new ones. He would greet everyone with a warm smile, a friendly hello, and genuine concern for his customers and friends.

In his younger years, Kevin enjoyed building hotrods with his brother and Derby cars with his friends. He never missed a chance to attend a Demolition Derby with his good friend Mark Nielsen or a cold beer at the Yellowstone Tavern. Kevin loved spending time with his kids, grandkids, and his nieces and nephews. Whether it was building Joe’s first derby car, fishing with Gregory, or getting his hair and nails done by the girls, he was always down for whatever. He loved the outdoors and thoroughly enjoyed hunting and fishing when he got the chance.

Only after he found the love of his life, did he settle down. Kevin and Mary were friends before lovers, but Kevin was adamant that he would make Mary his wife and he finally did in 1995.

The two of them loved to spend their free time lounging at home watching one of the thousands of movies they own or jumping in the truck, cranking up the tunes and taking long country drives to wherever the wind would take them.
Kevin loved spending time with his family and often planned BBQ’s and Airport Inn gathers to bring everyone together. On Christmas he often showed up in a Santa suit to surprise all the kids with a bag full of presents. His warm smile, playful spirit, and loving heart will live on through all the lives that he has touched.

Kevin is survived by a sister Marla Malley, brother Lowell Johnston, wife Mary and children: Chris Hibbs, Gregory Carlson (Rheannon), grandkids: Jeremy, Issabell, Emma, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, December 13, 2020 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, December 14, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. at Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home.

Interment will follow in the Custer County Cemetery, in Miles City, MT.
