BILL KIECKER
Bill grew up in Coon Rapids. His childhood home was off of 109th Lane and Foley Blvd. He graduated from Coon Rapids HS in 1983. Bill met his wife, Kim, in 1990, and was married in 1994. One year later, they purchased their first home in Coon Rapids. They raised their two children and both graduated from Coon Rapids HS.
Bill has been volunteering in his community for many years. He was the President of the Adams Elementary School PAC, coached Little League and Soccer, chaired the CRHS Senior All-Night Party Committee, President and member of the Nordic Ski Team booster club, and a member of the Coon Rapids Youth Hockey Association. A highlight for Bill was his election to the CR City Council representing the residents of Ward 2.
Currently, Bill is an at-large member of the Community Strength Foundation and a member of the Coon Rapids Charter Commission. He is also a member of Faith Lutheran Church and a founding member of the Coon Rapids Guitar Club.
Bill retired from his job with CVS/Aetna, of 35 years, this fall and he and his wife will spend more time enjoying their two granddaughters, traveling, and walking, running and biking on the many trails throughout the city.
