WXIA (NBC-11, Video) – “It makes my heart race every time I come here,” Joy Kieffer said as she knelt beside the white slab of marble with her son’s name on it. Sgt. Kevin Ash is buried at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. What caused his death in 2017, ten days shy of his 35th birthday, was at the time a mystery. “I always tell him I love him,” Kieffer said fighting back tears. “And I’m so sorry that I didn’t know.”
