Glenn Kevin Kastning, 66

A graveside service for Glenn Kevin Kastning, 66, of Brixey, was held July 21, 2026, in the Souder Cemetery with Tim Williams officiating. 

He died peacefully on July 20, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, unwavering faith and love for his family. 

Kevin was born on April 4, 1960, to Patricia Lance Kastning and Doyle Kastning. Throughout his life, he was known for his strong work ethic, spending many years in highway construction, where he served as a heavy equipment operator. Above all, Kevin cherished his family. His greatest joy came from spending time with those he loved. When he wasn’t working, Kevin enjoyed hunting, fishing and spending time visiting with friends at the local tire shop. In his early years, he rode bulls and never lost his love for rodeo. He never met a stranger and valued the simple moments of fellowship and conversation. 

Kevin’s faith was the foundation of his life. A devoted member of Souder Church of Christ, he lived with a quiet strength and steadfast belief that guided him through life’s joys and challenges. Kevin will be remembered for his hardworking spirit, kind heart, deep faith and the love he shared with his family and friends. His memory will live on in the lives of those who knew and loved him, and he will be deeply missed.

He is survived by his son, Jarod (Mischa) Kastning of Gainesville; his daughter, Mandy (Tyler) Headrick of Gainesville; and his beloved grandchildren, Bretlyn, Braylon and Ella Kastning, and Jace and Jaxon Headrick; brothers: Doyne Kastning of South Sioux City, Nebraska, and Bob (Lana) Kastning of Ponca, Nebraska; sister Irene (Larry) Lewis of Salesville, Arkansas; along with many nieces and nephews.
