You can edit them back alive in your save file.

Go to your game location (ie, C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Kerbal Space Program), then the saves folder. Find the name of your save then copy/paste your persistent.SFS file somewhere as a backup.

Open the file in notepad and search for the kerbals name with Ctrl+F (if on Windows).

Look for something like this:

		KERBAL
		{
			name = Valentina Kerman
			gender = Female
			type = Crew
			trait = Pilot
			brave = 0.550000012
			dumb = 0.400000006
			badS = True
			veteran = True
			tour = False
			state = Available

Your state will probably say missing, or something other than available. Just change it to "Available", save and close, then load the save in the game.

I'm not sure if using the debug menu or setting the "missing kerbals respawn" option on works when they're already dead, but this definitely does.

Uhh, try this: play the game with the save you want to fix, then exit, then check the timestamps to see which save file was just written to. That's the one you want.
