A man filled with contagious love, laughter, and music. A man that put family and friends first. A man that made friends wherever he went and kept those friends forever. On Wednesday, July 6th, 2022, Kevin passed away peacefully after a courageous six year battle with cancer.
The many that knew Kevin were aware of his love of music, sports, and do not forget his hair. Many mullets will be styled, many rock songs will be played, and when we see #16 on the ice, we will always think of our Kevin.
Kevin will be forever missed by his adoring wife, Debbie (née Willoughby), his loving children who were his world, Victoria and Matthew, and we can not forget his cuddle buddy Waelynn. Kevin is survived and cherished by his mother and father, Murielle and Jeffery, and brothers Steven (Tasha) and Philip (Mélanie). Kevin was treasured by his mother-in-law, Myleeta Willoughby, and was deeply loved by many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, countless dear friends, and colleagues. Kevin was predeceased by his beloved sister-in-law, Susan Cadieux (Patrick), and father-in-law, John Willoughby (Betty).
We would like to send our heartfelt thank you to all those involved in Kevin's care and the abundance of love and support we have received from friends and neighbours. A special thank you to the staff and volunteers at May Court Hospice.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Beechwood National Memorial Centre, 280 Beechwood Avenue, on Thursday, July 21, 2022 from 5 to 8:00PM. A Christian funeral service will be held at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 210 Wilbrod Street, on Friday, July 22, 2022 at 2:00PM.

Until we meet again Prince Charming...

Kevin was one of a kind and I will miss him dearly. Working with him was always a pleasure and I grew very close to him in a very short time because he was just that kind of a guy. It broke my heart when I heard the sad news. My deepest sympathies and condolences to the entire family.
God bless you Kevin - you are in my thoughts and my prayers.
