Hello everyone - I am so sorry he's gone, and am still in shock because Kevin and I were almost the same age. I sort of thought he'd always be around. Kevin became my friend a long time ago in Saskatoon during our first years of university and college, and while we had not talked in many years, he was always in my heart. Kevin was a fiery champion of underdogs everywhere, who loved his motorcycle way back when, sky diving, and a good debate. He definitely had an opinion about things and shared his with anyone who was willing to listen. I attended his dad Al's funeral long ago, in support of my friend and also found out about his sister Cindy's untimely death in a heartbreaking way.
What we all need to remember is we need love, encouragement and support. Even when we disagree with each other. My hope is that those of you who remain will keep him in your hearts, and use the lessons we've all learned from him - about loss, heartache and unfulfilled wishes - to do good works in your lives. I know I will.
I bought a grove of five trees for Kevin and his immediate family members - his mom and dad, Cindy (Cynthia), and Darren. Since Kevin spent time planting trees in his young adulthood, I know he would love trees to be planted for him.
Love to all of you - Rhonda (Sniezek) Thiemann
