By all accounts, Kevin Kraatz is a good man who had lived his life to serve others.
He had never been on the wrong side of the law until he was involved in an early-morning crash two years ago that nearly killed a total stranger.
Last week, the two men whose lives were forever changed by that wreck met for the first time via video during a sentencing hearing for the Darby man.
On Oct. 21, 2018, Kraatz was driving a pickup truck that smashed into the sedan parked off the side of Roaring Lion Road at about 3 a.m. As a result of the collision, James Schelberg of Kalispell was trapped inside his car for more than an hour as emergency responders worked frantically to cut him free.
