Holst, Kevin

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Kevin Holst married Emily Jones, of the Bradford High School's Class of 1988, not long after she graduated. He is a bit older than her, having served in the Army between his graduation and hers. They have two children, Kayla, the first child of the '88 Class, and Jason, aka JJ.

Kevin worked at Macy Controls while Emily would continue working at the Spee-D-Mart. Their hobbies include riding on Kevin's Harley. Kevin knew allowing Emily to drive his motorcycle could pull her out of a sulk and so working with Jason MacRae he rebuilt a Harley of her own.^HS3 To disguise all the time he spent rebuilding the motorcycle, he had Jason teach him to make knives, which he discovered he had a knack for. Jason soon turned his erstwhile apprentice into a real blacksmith. This was fortuitous when Macy Controls became a less than reliable employer. Jason and Kevin made plans to turn the hobby into a post-retirement business.^HS36

Kevin was a conspirator with Dayna Berkshire in making Vicky Varney's twenty-first birthday memorable.^HT17 When Dayna's musical partner Sandy Beach got married, Kevin helped her solo tour, flying to Louisiana at Thanksgiving and driving her RV back to Michigan.^HT26
