Keven had a long checkered life with health concerns associated with diabetes. Keven was forever grateful during his journey in life for a transplanted kidney in 1998. Doctors often marvelled at his grit and resilience and the remarkable success of the transplant which granted him a new lease in life regarding his health for a remarkable 27yrs. Allowing Keven to continue with his hobbies and passion for all things with wheels. Rarely would one see the cars dirty. Keven drew true joy from the many miles on the snowmobile trails ranging from Belwood to Owen sound with his son and long time like minded friends. Keven started his career with Zehrs markets in 1976 and retired after 35yrs, to focus on maintaining his health and enjoying an active and relaxed later years.
Everyone could count on a different and often hilariously jaded perspective of things in general when Keven was at the conversation table whether it be at his local morning coffee groups, with his immediate families, or visiting the local garages of his friends for the weeks engineering marvels in automotive service circles. Keven also enjoyed R/C toys when his health limited his capacities on occasion and always had fond memories of his friends in the hobby world. In the end Keven made his own donations for someone else to have a better quality of life as he was blessed to experience himself truly paying it forward. Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. Keven’s family wishes to extend a tremendous thank you to the many doctors and nurses that endured him at his worst of health with grace and compassion over a long road.
