Kirchhevel, age 78, of Yankton, South Dakota, died Saturday, January 26, 2013, at Sunset Manor in Irene, South Dakota. A memorial service will be 2:00 p.m. February 9, 2013, at the Wintz & Ray Funeral Home with military honors provided by the Yankton Ernest Bowyer VFW Post 791. Inurnment will take place at a later date. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the funeral home. Gordon J. Kirchhevel was born July 24, 1934, to Chris and Meta (Goldhammer) Kirchhevel north of Lake Andes, South Dakota. As one of ten siblings, Gordon grew up in the Lake Andes and Geddes area hunting, fishing, and hijinxing with family and friends. He was hired onto a survey crew during the construction of the Ft. Randall Dam, and later entered the United States Sir Force where he served with distinction in the medical corps. He was stationed in Japan during the Korean War and was later a proud member of the VFW. After leaving the service, Gordon eventually settled in Yankton where he was a longtime employee of Yankton Beverage. He spent his later years with and retired from Groseth Motors. Throughout his life Gordon loved cars and took great pleasure in detailing them. He owned some great rides. Gordon also took pleasure in his extended family, especially his nieces and nephews who loved him for the interest he took in each of them. In retirement, Gordon often volunteered to do yard work for the elderly. In spite of being a man of limited means, his generosity and compassion for those in need was inspiring. Gordon would rather do without than see others suffer even a little. When Gordon would arrive at any occasion he was always wearing a big smile and would immediately look for where the laughter was the loudest so he could join in and add to it. He will be greatly missed. Survivors include his daughter, Deborah (Greg) Coffer of Bentonville, Arkansas; three grandchildren Hannah, Morgan, and Maverick; two sisters: Nancy (Arlen) Roinstad of Geddes, South Dakota and Sharon (Richard) Spykstra of Armour, South Dakota; sister-in-law, Lola Kirchhevel of Rapid City, South Dakota; three brothers: Richard Kirchhevel of Roundup, Montana; Jerry Kirchhevel of Lake Andes; and Ray (Donna) Kirchhevel of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; as well as several forever grateful nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Chris and Meta Kirchhevel; three sisters: Evelyn (Lowell) Tieszen, Caroline (Ted) Skogland, and Agnes (Lawrence) Oberg; sister-in-law, Barbara Kirchhevel; and brother, Harry Kirchhevel. Memorial may be directed to c/o Duane Tieszen, PO Box 125, Mission Hill, SD 57046. Yankton Press & Dakotan Submitted by Connie Kappelman McKean (#47411136)
