Kevin was a well-known pillar of the central Newfoundland automotive community dedicating nearly five decades helping the motoring public with their repair and service needs. He was an inspiration to those who worked with him and respected by all.

He was a deeply caring family man, devoted friend, witty storyteller, weather buff, and greatly appreciated his time at the family cottage in Fortune Harbour enjoying the seasonal scenery, boating, fires, and socializing with friends and family over hearty meals and libations.

The family wishes to send a special thank you to long time family doctor - Dr. Robert Butler, and the doctors, nurses, & staff of the ER, ICU, and Unit 2A of the Central Newfoundland Regional Health Centre for the compassion and recent care he received.
