In Modesto CA in 1988, when Kjel was still a teenager, he was in a band with a woman named Marian Jennifer Holloway. Kjel got Marian pregnant, married her in Carson City NV in April, and Marian gave birth to their daughter in October.
Below in the spoiler are some screenshots about this from a
fascinating 2011 documentary about Marian's life:
In short, the marriage didn't work, Kjel's parents adopted and raised the girl, and Kjel went off to the military. Marian went on to be a punk rock singer of some renown in a band called the "Insaints", while also doing sex work. She died in LA of a heroin overdose in 2001 at the age of 33.
Marian's friend "Fate Fatale" mentioned Kjel and Marian's relationship in a small
memorial page written after Marian's death:
Around 19 years old, she met and married her second love Kal. With that relationship, came the most important love of her life. Her daughter, Hannah Lolly Anderson. This was Marian's joy and happiness. As Kal and Marian's relationship dwindled, the love for her daughter grew because Hannah gave her love in the purest form.
Kal eventually went into the army and their relationship was nearing to it's end. Marian was alone and she knew honestly that she would not be able to take care of her daughter. The hardest decision that Marian would have to had made was the right decision for her. Against everyone's demands, she put Hannah up for adoption. For a mother to give up her child for a better place has to be one of the most difficult yet beautiful things anyone could have done.
Here is a video of Kjel and Marian's band "5 Fingers" doing a cover of The Beatles' "Get Back" at a college in Modesto (Kjel is on bass):
There's also a documentary entitled "Sadobabies" that features Marian during some of her time as a runaway in San Francisco. Marian often alleged that her biological father abused and raped her as a child.
Kjel has two sisters (one older, one younger) and an older brother. His dad just turned 78 and his mom is 74. Here is a juxtaposition of recent photos of his older sister and of Kjel:
