Kevin Leslie Verna
March 16, 1967 ~ February 21, 2019
Resided in:
Pueblo, Colorado
Kevin Leslie Verna, 51, a proud Pueblo native went to be with the Lord on Feb. 21, 2019. Kevin is preceded in death by his beloved father, John; and sister, Nila Ann. He is survived by his loving mother, Nadene; son, Jonathon (Kayla); brothers, Bret (Sally), Mitch (Karen); niece, Tomasina; nephews, Bo (Tonya), Giovanni, Dante, Andrew, Ben; great-nephew, Revy; and numerous cousins, aunts, and uncles. Kevin was a jack of many trades. He was a lover of life. Kevin loved his family and friends deeply. When he wasn't making you smile, he enjoyed traveling, golfing, playing the drums, rooting on the Broncos, lip syncing to 80s rock, and dancing to Frank Sinatra with his mom. Carrying on the family tradition of owning a landscape company, he enjoyed selling many things such as insurance, cars, rocks, and roses. Central was his stomping ground where he played football, basketball, and hosted many parties unbeknownst to his parents with the invites being broadcasted on the local radio station. Services will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, March 2, at Fellowship of the Rockies, 3892 W. Northern Ave. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, family requests donations be made to Fellowship of the Rockies Building Fund, 3892 W. Northern Ave., Pueblo, CO 81005 or Pueblo Medal of Honor Foundation, P.O. Box 36, Pueblo, CO 81002. Online condolences, www.montgomerysteward.com
I’ve only spoken with Kevin a handful of times but it was always a pleasure. Kevin, even though going through a hard time in life was always pleasant and kind. I wish him peach. My prayers go out to the family. Losing a brother/son/father is one of the hardest things.
I wish everyone the best.

To the entire Verna family, I’m sorry for your loss. I want you to know that Kevin was a special person who touched the lives of many people with his happy, fun, outgoing personality. All you need to do is witnessing all the people who attended Kevin’s memorial service and read all the online condolences, with many more to come. Kevin’s memorial service, and lunch reception after, was really great and I felt honored to be part of the Verna family dinner that evening. I really enjoyed meeting and reconnecting with the Verna family and friends, although, I wish it was for another reason. May God bless you with smiles and happy memories of Kevin.
To the Verna Family: I am so sorry for your loss. I fondly remember him in elementary and middle school. He was involved in so many things that gave him the opportunity to shine. School plays, sports, and band with the drums. I remember in the band how he loved to be the conductor – he was so animated and it would make the class so much fun.
I am glad I was able to reconnect with him at his company, it was like no time had passed. I can say he was always a friend. He will be missed. I wish your family Peace.
To the Verna Family, Nadene, Bret, Mitch and Johnathon and your extended families. You have lost a son, brother, father and I have lost my best friend! So many memories I wish I could share. I would be here all day listing the legal and illegal acts we were involved in. I don’t know why we were so close because we are polar opposites! He is very outgoing and comfortable talking to strangers and I would say trusting of everyone around him. I on the other hand, very reserved and very judgmental. I had a tenancy to make my judgement on first impression. Maybe that was good. Kevin needed someone like me to say no to some of his ideas he had over the years. I am truly going to miss the adventures, the fly fishing, the golfing. I failed however to get Kevin to rid that god awful slice he had! Most golfers have a natural draw or fade of the ball, they don’t have a natural and constant slice when they play the game. Another good friend that had so much more living to do and has gone way too soon. I am going to miss my buddy Kevin.

Sending my condolences to Brett Verna, Central High classmate ’78, who I saw this summer at our 40th reunion. I just heard this news from Rhonda Purkey Lewis. I am so sorry for your loss. Siblings are special folks in our lives, for better & worse & in-between. May he be at peace now, & may you treasure fond memories. Sincerely, Candice (Fogel) Haaga in Maryland

I’m so sorry to hear about Kevin’s passing. I met him in late 2017, when he did an amazing job on our landscaping. He always came around to check on the things and we had some good conversations. I believe he was a very caring person and that quality of workmanship was important to him. We are thinking about you Nadene and family at this sad time. Take care.
So sorry to hear Kevin had passed he was a great friend and hard worker. And will be miss by our family. Our condolences.

Just know in your hearts that he is with his Dad , safe and in Gods arms now.

This is sad. When my husband worked for Kevin Kevin was bad on meth my husband tried to help him and got fired for it. Even got threatened. This is heartbreaking another life lost. I’m praying for his family. And I’m not trying to be disrespectful by saying what I said but it’s the truth. We need to fight the bad shit that tears people down.
