Keven was born June 10, 1957 in Bismarck to Obert and Cynthia (Bruington) Barstad. Raised in Mandan, he attended school at Brentwood in Bismarck and graduated from Sheyenne River Academy in 1975. Keven went on to attend 2 years of college in California and later received his teaching degree from Valley City State. He then taught for 8 years in Karlsruhe, 4 years at Mandan High School, and the past 19 years as the Industrial Arts instructor at the Youth Correctional Center in Mandan until he became ill. Athletic and a love for anything outdoors, Keven enjoyed backpacking in the Rockies every year with his family, rock climbing, kayaking, camping, hunting, fishing, and in 1995 took a canoe through class 4 rapids in Yellowstone with his sons and some friends. Keven also enjoyed gardening and dreamed of piloting a gyro-copter he purchased. A talented craftsman, Keven was excellent at auto body work and metal art. Well-loved and a friend to many, Keven will be missed by all who knew him.
