Kevin E. Bass

Kevin Everett Bass, fondly known as “Hollywood”, was born to Vernon and Donna Rae Bass, on May 17, 1951, in North Platte, Nebraska.

He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Elizabeth, niece Dawn and nephew Jeff.

He graduated from North Platte High School (1969) and played most every sport available. He had a short stint on a golf scholarship at the University of Nebraska before marrying his high school sweetheart, Joyce (Martin) Rundstrom. Joyce and Kevin had Trent during their 4 years of marriage. After, he went to Alaska to work on the pipeline from 1975-1977. His beautiful daughter Tara was born during his relationship with Cindy Kadin. In 1980, Kevin started dating Chris Ann and moved to Colorado. They were married in 1984 and had their son, Daniel.

Kevin worked 15+ years as a drywaller. For the next 20 years he worked at True Value Distribution Center working his way up to manager with a perfect attendance record. After retiring, Kevin enjoyed mowing the greens at Saddleback Golf Course; the early quiet mornings on his “tractor” were probably the highlight of his career.
