Kevin grew up in Corner Brook and worked at Bowaters Mill until he moved to Saint John NB, then to Ontario and for many years worked in Prince Rupert BC. He returned to his home of Newfoundland upon retirement and settled into York Harbour. He enjoyed fishing and hunting, and was a great dart player who won many tournaments in his younger years. Kevin also loved to dance, sing and play guitar and would always play a tune whenever friends would gather.

We, the family, would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of the staff, doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals of Western Memorial Hospital who provided such excellent care to our dad over the course of the past year.

In meeting with Kevin's wishes, cremation has taken place. There will be visitation and prayers held at Country Haven Funeral Home on Thursday, December 18, 2025 from 2-4PM. As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
