Dodge City - Kevin Dwight Gwaltney, 45, was received in the arms of the Lord on January 29, 2023 at his home in Dodge City. His earthly suffering has ceased. Kevin was born on June 20, 1977 and is a 5th generation native of Dodge City. He was the owner and president of Diamond Roofing and was an active and well-respected member of his community.
