Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a great man, Kevin Whalen.

Predeceased by his parents Thomas Whalen, and Hester Whalen (nee Crann); and his brother George Whalen.

Left to mourn are his loving and devoted wife of 43 years, Christine Whalen (nee Ryan); his children Emerald (Dapo), Katie (Ryan), Jenny, Josh (Carly), Sarah (Justin), Kavina; grandchildren Jade, Cambrai, Jacob, Kent, Emersyn, Josie, Corbin, Ashley, Ella, Allie, and Emma; his siblings Mary (Phillip), Brian (Calvin), Frances, Rita (Steve); special niece and nephews Barb (Richie), Junior (Denise) and Jay (Stephanie). As well as a large circle of nieces and nephews, and extended family and friends.

Kevin was outgoing, well travelled and always had a story to tell. He was brilliant and enjoyed an engaging conversation. He was very talented, from building swing sets, making ice rinks, to driving big transport trucks. He loved music, both listening and playing the guitar. He was wise beyond his years. He always had an ear to listen and offered the best advice. He was always happiest when surrounded by family and friends. His most prized possessions were his grandchildren, which he cherished deeply.

Kevin passe away peacefully surrounded by his loving family. He will be greatly missed by many, he is gone but will never be forgotten. He was loved unconditionally, to know Kevin was to love him. He was kind, thoughtful and generous beyond measure.

Kevin was a wonderful father, devoted husband, grandfather, brother, son, friend and will be missed by all.
