Chauvet, 92, died Thursday, September 17, 2015 at Peace Hospice in Great Falls after a short illness. Born August 18, 1923 in Big Sandy to Henry and Violet (Reed) Chauvet, Kenneth attended school in Big Sandy and graduated from high school in 1941. He later attended Montana State College in Bozeman. He was inducted into the Army during WWII in January 1944 and received his basic training at Fort McClellan, Alabama. He was assigned to the 5th Army 10th Mountain Division in Italy and left for his overseas assignment in December of 1944. For his meritorious service in combat from February 20, 1945 to May 2, 1945 as a mortar man in the Apennine Mountains in Po Valley, Italy, Kenneth was awarded the Bronze Star and the Combat Infantry Badge. He was honorably discharged in August of 1945. In April 1944, Kenneth married a hometown girl, Ayleen Patricia Kane, in Alabama. Upon his return from service the couple settled in Big Sandy and he took over the Chauvet family ranch, producing both cattle and grain. The couple raised their three children there. In 1982, the couple legally separated. Pat survives him today. Kenneth served on the Big Sandy school board during the planning and building of the F.E. Miley Grade School. He was one of the founders of Big Sandy Grain, and served on the board of directors there for many years. He was a 55 year member of the American Legion, 41 year member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, and 32 year member of the Moose Lodge, as well as a member of Toastmaster International in Great Falls. After retiring, Kenneth moved first to Great Falls and later to Fairfield where he lived for the last 13 years. He enjoyed his time at the Fairfield Senior Center volunteering, visiting, and playing cards, pool, and cribbage. Kenneth loved to dance and enjoyed weekly dancing. In 2013, he traveled to a taping of the Molly B Polka Party shown on RFD TV. He enjoyed seeing the reruns of the show that featured him as one of the dancers. He looked forward to traveling to polka fests and attended his final fest in Billings over the 2015 Labor Day weekend. Additional survivors include his three children; five grandchildren; seven great grandchildren; two step great grandchildren; one niece; and his companion and dance partner of Fairfield.
