Kevin Leon Cline from Pleasant Dale, Nebraska passed away Wednesday, December 1st, 2021 at home surrounded by his loving family at the age of 69.

Kevin was born March 22,1952 to Delwyn and Betty (Jackson) Cline in Riverton, Nebraska.  He grew up and attended school in the Riverton area, later attending UNL.  On June 26,1976 from Look-Out Mountain in Colorado, Kevin married the love of his life Kim Daria Wheeler.

Kevin was very passionate of giving and helping others.  He was a social worker who worked in many areas, including developmental disabilities at the county and state levels.  In 2018 he retired to enjoy the good life with his wife and family.  He held positions with the Village of Pleasant Dale as Village Clerk, Treasurer and on the Planning and Zoning Board of Pleasant Dale at the time of his death. He is described as one of the good guys. He was truly committed on helping better his community for the future of all children.   

Kevin’s vast interests included camping, fishing, gardening, relaxing in his pool, antique shopping, grilling in all seasons, US History- in particular the US presidents, and traveling. Some of his fondest memories was when he flew an airplane on his 40th birthday, enjoying an ocean cruise, spontaneous road trips, family vacations, family reunions, a trip to Disney World, the South Fork Ranch, San Antonio, Oregon and visiting several state capitol buildings.
