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.

Kevin was recently inducted into the DC3 Sports Hall of Fame in 2022, an honor for which he was incredibly proud. Kevin was an avid lover of the Jayhawks, Wildcats, and Chiefs, and not to mention country music. After college, Kevin returned to Dodge City to contribute his knowledge and experience to his family’s roofing business. It was here that he met Jordan and the two started their journey together in life. After a brief respite in St. Louis, Missouri, Kevin and Jordan returned to Dodge City to run the family business since his mom and dad moved to Manhattan in an effort to more broadly serve the Kansas roofing construction market. Kevin’s father Rick passed away unexpectedly in 2011 at which point Kevin took the reins of the business and has continued its success to this very day. In addition to the time and attention he devoted to his fa
