DK Forever - Thank You

At peace, but etched in everything

July 5, 1979 - June 17, 2024

Adrienne Kubin

Adrienne was loved by many. Family, friends, cooking and coming together were some of her favorite things. She was an amazing cook, diplomat, an ear to those who needed it and a trusted confidant. Adrienne was the backbone of DK Rotary, serving as COO and was there from the very beginning of the inception of the company in 2010.

As Dan's wife of 25 years and mother to their children Quentin and Jill, Adrienne wore many hats and was a big part of Dan's success. Her sudden passing caused Dan to cease operations to reevaluate and grieve. Moving forward and restructuring the company, Dan is implementing more sustainable ways to create machines and bring new ideas to the table.

Adrienne will always be remembered and celebrated for all that she provided to her family, to Dan and the tattooing world. We are incredibly grateful for her contributions; without her involvement DK Rotary would not be where it is today, and her dedication has profoundly shaped our success in the community. 

2015 is when Adrienne left her teaching career and got more involved within the company to help Dan by handling shipping at first, then later taking on more of a role as she helped to grow the company as COO.

If one were to ask Adrienne what her mission was on this earth, she would simply reply "I am here to serve God". She didn't mean that her mission was to evangelize, it was simply to see the best in everyone she met. She put her love into making meals from scratch, and into making everyone she encountered feel valued and important. Outside of everything she did for Dan and DK Rotary, Adrienne was a member of the Mayflower Society and held multiple offices and chairmanships in Daughters of the American Revolution Blue Springs Chapter.
