Kevin Lee Fender, age 56, of Logan, Iowa, passed away on Friday, August 29th, 2025, at his home surrounded by his family. Kevin was born and raised in Omaha, where he made many friends. He graduated from Gross High School and was employed at First Data (now Fiserv). Kevin and Mary Tucker were married on June 3rd, 1998. In 2001, Kevin, Mary, and their children moved to Logan, Iowa.

Kevin and Mary's weekends were filled with family gatherings, attending sporting events, barbecues, and grandkids.
