I had the great fortune to meet Kevin on the various occasions when I visited my parents at the men's breakfast at ST. Paul's church. It was very encouraging to me to witness Kevin's positive demeanor and love for God, a true blessing to those who knew him.

Condolences and prayers to all the family as you mourn this courageous man.

BEING ALSO AT HOME IN A WHEELCHAIR,WE WOULD ALWAYS HAVE SHORT STORIES TO SHARE ABOUT LIFE ON WHEELS, HUMOUR INVOLVED

What a gifted and thoughtful man! Kevin embodied so many qualities - I am a lucky man to have known him. Alison and family, please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Brian, Golfing with the two of you at Deer Park Kevin showing me how to play the flop shot, is a great memory I have.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

I always liked how Kevin and Alison were a team. They were there for each other, and they always did what was best for the other. I never sensed that either of them had to 'best' or compete with the other. Truly, the two became one.

My dear friend, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Alison and family, my deepest condolences on the loss of Kevin. Kevin was truly a great man who taught me so much about life. I loved listen to him give speeches and share so many important messages that always inspired his audiences into action. He truly will be missed. RIP my friend!

Kevin was a true gentleman and a fine human being. He always did his best at anything he tried in Toastmasters and was encouraging and supportive to others. I enjoyed our talks and his advice to me. My condolences to the family in the loss of Kevin. Please know that many, many of us will hold him in our memories and will continue to be inspired by his example.

Condolence to Kevin's family. I worked with him at Enmax between 2004 to 2006. I joined their Toastmasters club - "Current Speakers Club" where I helped him with his SpeechCraft project at that time. He also provided me with mentorship and guidance. We always had fun during our weekly lunch meetings. I still remember some of the feedback and evaluation he provided me for my speeches. He is a remarkable speaker who even represented our Toastmasters District 42 in the Regional and International finals. I supported him when our district sent him to Las Vegas for the finals. We reconnected many years later after he retired when he accepted my invitation to inspire our "Fifth Avenue Club" members at the AESO office. He will be missed. My prayers goes to him and his family.

Anyone who is reading this knows that Kevin was a blessing to this world. He was my mentor early in my career, and helped define for people what it looks like to be a true overcomer! I, along with many, looked up to him for all he stood for.

He was always thinking of others and was a man that I knew I could turn to for a listening ear and words of advice. The stories of thoughtfulness are countless…I can’t thank him enough.

Kev - you were a loyal family man and friend. As much as it’s been years since I had the pleasure to see you most every day, I’m so glad we were able to keep in touch over time. You played a part in many of my great memories. Thank you for your love and support.

To Allison and family left behind, thoughts and prayers are with you as your grieve the loss of this wonderful soul. He leaves behind a legacy and many memories that you can lean on during the tough days in life.

Goodbye for now Kev. With love and admiration, your friend Graham

My sincere condolences to the Kevin's family. I knew Kevin in high school. He was a fierce competitor and a natural athlete in every sport he played but what I remember the most was his humility, kindness, and how he seemed to be every bodies best friend. He was a very enigmatic, special person.

As Kevin said "Your difference IS the difference" Kevin made a big difference to those he met and always was inspiring as he told students "Believe in what you can do and the world will make room for you" We will miss you dearly Kevin. Thanks for the difference you made in our lives. Jan and Christina Kruis and family

I was so sad to hear of the passing of my dear friend. I had the privilege of working alongside Kevin for 14 years marvelling at his zest for life and his positive influence on everyone around him. Kevin never let his physical limitations limit any accomplishment he set his mind to... and his accomplishments are many.

He could capture the attention, hearts and respect of a large audience when he spoke. He became a skilled and articulate public speaker because he strived to be the best and to never stop improving his craft. He was like that with everything in life and he always encouraged others to do the same. Kevin was a true friend. He always pushed others to be their very best and always enjoyed seeing others succeed. On many occasions he taught me the qualities of what it means to be a friend and I always tried to do the same for him. I still feel like he was always the teacher and I was his student. Kevin taught me so much about what it means to have character. His character was the fabric of who he is and it didn't change whether he was with a group of people or if he was alone. People with character are constant no matter if others are watching or not. That is Kevin. To know Kevin was to love Kevin and he loved you back. I will miss our times together especially nights in our Flames jerseys cheering on our beloved Flames. I will never watch another Flames game again without thinking of Kevin and wishing he was there cheering along with me.

My wife Diana and I express our deepest sympathy to Alison, Lars and Ellie for your loss as well as all of Kevin's family. Kevin will be missed by all that know him and I look forward to seeing him again someday and the difference will be on that great occasion there will be no looking down. Kevin will be able to look me straight in the eye. Most likely I will have to look up. Love you Kevin. Until we meet again put in a good word for me.

My sincere condolences from Australia to Alison, Lars and family. Kevin was a fabulous person. I met Kevin at the weekly ENMAX Toastmasters Club where we heard many of Kevin’s great stories. I specifically remember one speech where Kevin advised us how to get the greatest value out of a buffet dinner. Kevin agreed to speak at a Mensa conference in Lake Louise I organized and brought Alison with him. We had a Sound of Music theme and Kevin came dressed in full alpine regalia and delivered a superb keynote speech which was at times, funny, touching and terribly sad. Kevin further assisted me by speaking at a CMA Night Out at the Petroleum Club. Kevin’s motivational speech was enthusiastically received by a room full of accountants who thronged to meet him in person and had a flurry of questions. Kevin had infinite patience in dealing with all people, young and old. Kevin made the world a better place.

My heartfelt condolences to you Alison and your family.

My condolences to Kevin’s family. In our years working together at ENMAX Kevin was funny, a true leader and so damn smart! Memories include cowboying up at Stampede, offsites in the mountains, conferences and a speech where Kevin removed his shirt (not an easy task in front of a crowd for anyone) to emphasize the point of his speech. A friend, a colleague and an inspiration. RIP Kevin.

On behalf of the Chan family (Kay and the late Ronnie), formerly of Yorkton, Sk, I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to Willie, Angie and family on the loss of Kevin. We remember your visits to our store (Chan’s Groceteria), and sadly, Kevin’s accident. In spite of it, he accomplished a lot of good things. May he rest in peace. Cindy (Chan) Eng

Please accept my deepest sympathies to the Mark family. Although I have not seen Kevin in many years, I have great memories of playing golf and hockey with Kevin. He was a very special person and friend.

Cam Sylvester

My sincere condolences to all the Mark family . My heart breaks for you . May you find comfort in the memories he left behind. I have not seen Kevin for years but remember him vividly as a child. He was a force to contend with and I do not state it in a derogatory way. My understanding is that despite his handicap that force never ceased. May he REST in PEASE. May the presence of friend and famil embrace you as you began the journey of grief . Much Love Elaine

We are so, so saddened by the news of Kevin’s passing. Our love goes out to all the family. He will be missed!

Jim and Jill Powell

Our sincere condolences to Alison and Lars for their loss of a wonderful husband and father. Even with his disability, he was always cheerful. When we lived on the cul de sac we would often see him out and about in his wheelchair. RIP Kevin

Linda Weiss and family

Our sincere condolences to Alison, Lars, and family on the loss of a fine man. Kevin was a gentle and kind soul, a true gentleman, who didn't let his disability hold him back. Living on the same street as he, we often saw him wheeling around the neighbourhood, 'out for a walk' At our block parties, he loved a good joke and his laughter was contagious. He will be missed. May his family take comfort in knowing that he suffers no more, and neither is he disabled.

Kevin will be missed dearly. His positive attitude and joy of life was infectious. He taught my entire family that no matter the obsticle, you can thrive with the right attitude. He was a joy to be around and could always lift your spirits. Our trip to Yellowstone will always be in our memories and in our hearts!! We are better people for having know Kevin.
