Keevin, the son of Wilbert Stroh and Esther (Rutschke) Stroh was born September 1, 1958, in Ashley, North Dakota. He attended grade school in Venturia, graduated from Ashley High School in 1976, and was a 1980 graduate of UND with a B.S. in Business Administration.

After college he spent a winter in Lodi, CA with relatives, and then moved back to Ashley to continue to farm with his dad and raise cattle. In 1981 he started as a Rural Carrier Associate (sub) at the Ashley Post Office. In 1992, Keevin was promoted to a career position with the USPS as a Rural Letter Carrier for RR 1, which extends east of Ashley and covers most of the city. He really enjoyed his mail route and was still delivering mail six days a week at the time of his death.

In 1997 he married Sherry Nill in Fargo, ND. They built a new home on the farmstead at Venturia in 2001. Keevin loved hunting, especially grouse and pheasants, and looked forward to his friends coming down to hunt with him. He also enjoyed fishing, making three trips to Gold Beach, OR and in March of this year, caught a Mahi Mahi in Kona, HI. He was a genius with facts and was good at crossword puzzles and playing trivia over the radio. He was a great card player and enjoyed pinochle and backgammon. Keevin was a member of the Ashley Baptist Church, where he served as a trustee, usher, and camera man. He loved watching reruns of the Andy Griffith Show, Leave it to Beaver, Green Acres, and Hogan’s Heroes on TV.
