I was shocked and sad yesterday when I heard of Kevin's passing. I worked with Kevin at Air Canada for several years, but it is while we were in the same training team that I got to know him better. He was an upbeat person, able to find humour in just about anything. It was also evident, by his conversation, that he loved his family very much.
I pray for comfort and strength for you in this very trying time. Please receive my deepest sympathy.

Dear Kathy, Dustin, Nick, Elliot, and Zach - words cannot express our sadness at Kevin's untimely death. We consider ourselves lucky to have known him. He was the life of the party regardless of the location - rinks, football fields or home. He was quick to share a smile, or a hug, and always had a funny story to share. It was easy to see how much he loved his wife and how proud he was of his sons. He will be greatly missed but we can take comfort in the knowledge that he will live on in the humour of his boys.

Words cannot express how shocked and saddened we are to hear of your loss. Kevin was a big part of our lives for several years while we working together. He was larger than life, and what I couldn't think of, he would. He was always there to help you out, give advise, take advise and share a joke and a smile. The memories of him I will cherish for ever, and though sad to hear of his passing, I can't help but smile at all the high jinks he performed through the years, it seems, that never changed from what I have read in the last few days
here. May the hands of God help carry you and the boys through the hard days ahead, and may you have the memories to lean on when you need a helping hand. Deepest sympathies to Kathy, the boys, Joanne, Brian and Kevins Mom.

Kevin and I went through school together from the 3rd grade and I can still remember anxiously waiting to meet the Vautour Family that first summer we moved to Winslow Street as they returned home from their Silver Sands Campground in Cap Pélé. Kevin had such an outgoing and kind personality from a young boy that stayed with him as he became a wonderful father to his sons.

As a young girl back in the late 1970’s, I first met Kevin when my Family & I went camping at his Father's Campground in South Eastern, N.B. The happy impact Kevin had on me was unique. Over the years we would see each other and remember those laughter-filled childhood summer times.
What a blessing to have someone so able to keep a smile, not only on himself but on all who encountered him. Kathy, I would be honoured to help you and your sons keep his memory alive through shared stories and the many years ahead.
Sending all of you much Love, Respect and our Sympathies as you celebrate Kevin's life and see him off to a peaceful place where his laughter will continue on......

Dear Vautour Family,
On behalf of our family, please accept our deepest sympathy and condolences. I was shocked to hear of Kevin's sudden death.
I first met Kevin over 30 yrs ago, when our family (Gilbert & Jeanette McKinnon & kids) would stay at the Silver Sands Campground in Cap Pélé. Kevin was such a caring person, and was a joy to share witty comments with, bantering back and forth with one-liners.
He always had a smile on his face, and it was a pleasure to spend time with him. He was a happy-go-lucky type of guy, and I can honestly say that I do not recall a time when he was in a bad mood.
I enjoyed his cheerful personality, his upbeat attitude, and his hilarious sense of humour. I will miss his wonderful smile.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with your family, during this difficult time.
God Bless,
The Cobean's (Janice, Stephen, Samantha, and Katrina)
Lower Sackville, NS
P.S. Can you imagine what Heaven is like, with Kevin and all his shenanigans? =D

Cathy/Joanne: My deepest condolences on Kevin's passing. We go back as far as St. Mac's as we started in '77/'78 and graduated together in 1980. He always had a smile on his face and a good joke. God bless all of you, my prayers and thoughts are with you in these difficult times.

It’s hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of a well-lived life. Kevin was the funniest guy in any hockey rink I have ever been to! He made every game fun, win or lose he kept us all laughing. We will miss him dearly as we know you will. We are so sorry for the loss of your husband and dad.

Kathy, we were stunned when we heard the news. Kevin was too full of life to have it end far too soon. No words can give you comfort, but please know we are thinking off you, and hope that your wonderful memories will give some peace in the weeks, months and years to come. Kevin left a wonderful legacy in his beautiful boys; I am sure they will be your comfort!

To Mrs Vautour, Brian and Joanne.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Kevin. I have fond memories of Kevin during our time on Winslow Street and at St. Patricks. He was the first friend I met when our familiy moved to the West side when I was in Grade 5. There was never a dull moment when Kevin was around. He always made us laugh and he will be remembered as a good friend and a kind soul.

Brian, Joanne and Mrs. Vautour;
As you are well aware, Kevin and I were best friends for countless years as next door neighbors. I remember Kevin growing into a young man and doing everything possible to help out his parents. We did many things together from newspaper routes, shoveling snow, playing street hockey, going for coffee, many, many etc's.
Kevin had a certain "wit" to him that is non-replaceable and anyone reading this will know what I mean. I could go on-and-on about a person I knew so well. This news is hard to believe and friendship, family and time are the best healers. Very sad day for anybody that knew Kevin ..... truly, one of the very best.
Miss you buddy :(

I am so sorry about Kevin. He always brought a smile to my face whenever I ran into him and I have fond memories of the chats we had when you were at the house to get Nicholas from piano (which wasn't yesterday). My heart goes out to all of you, this is not an easy time for any of you, but know that your father was very proud of all of you, he loved you dearly. His eyes lit up whenever he mentioned you, Kathy, it was obvious how much you meant to him. You have all been truly blessed .

Dear Kathy, Dustin, Nick, Elliot and Zach - Words cannot express our shock and sadness at Kevin's passing. Please know that we are thinking of your family at this most difficult of times. Kevin was a great husband, father and friend and we feel honoured to have known him. He had such a great sense of humour and wry wit, it was enjoyable to engage in verbal sparring with him. He loved all of you so much and the pride he had in every one of his children was obvious and well-warranted. The world lost an incredible soul on Saturday, but we will always smile when we think of him. You have him forever in your hearts and minds and you also have each other. Much love from our family to yours.
