Kevin Hamm

Kevin Eric Hamm, 43, passed away October 22, 2021, at Methodist Hospital surrounded by his loving family.

Kevin was born April 28, 1978, in Charles City, Iowa to Alan Tracy Hamm and Patricia (Simpson) Parmenter. He met the love of his life, Rhonda (Rennenger), in 2005. They later married and had two beautiful children, Evan Diesel and Stella.

Kevin attended East High School and soon after graduating became a member of the Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 33 where he dedicated the next 23 years to his welding career. He also taught welding classes to Waldinger apprentices.

He enjoyed golfing, fishing, traveling, rebuilding his 1964 Chevelle, coaching Diesel’s sporting events, and dancing with Stella. He loved family movie nights, making homemade popcorn, and campouts in the living room on the air mattress. Kevin will be remembered as the life of the party, and someone who always enjoyed being surrounded by friends. He told the best stories bringing laughter into every conversation. His charisma and energy filled every room he entered, and Kevin knew no strangers. He offered a helping hand to anyone in need. Above all, he was the most loving spouse and dedicated father.

Kevin is survived by his wife, Rhonda Hamm; children, Evan Diesel and Stella; father, Alan Tracy Hamm; mother, Patricia Parmenter; brother, Michael Hamm; uncles, James (Kim) Weigel and Larry Simpson; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins; and a host of extended family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
