Kevin McClarnon, “Pickleball Evangelist” from Burnsville, passed away this month. Fellow players say Kevin always played hard, with class, respect and joy. Fun to play with or against, he welcomed new players with kindness and encouragement. His signature victory dance after he made a great shot displayed his competitiveness, yet always coupled with warmth and friendliness. The Club offers our condolences to his wife Kim and three daughters. The pickleball community will miss him because Kevin played the game with a loving spirit. His passing reminds us to make the most out of each day.
