He was an active member of the Legion and Senior groups, with many friends. Kevin had a two year battle with cancer and was able to enjoy the support and care of his family, before staying at the St. Joseph’s Hospice, London Ontario.

Firefighters never really die, they just burn forever in the hearts of the people whose lives they saved and those they loved.
