Canman - RIP 14 October 2012
It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Kevan passed away earlier this morning.
I will post his funeral details later when they are finalised.

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years ..."
... and you certainly packed a lot in to the last two!
We feel privileged to have known you Kevan.
Your chipper smile and happy face will never be forgotten.
Our thoughts and condolences are with your friends and family especially Claire, Alex, Abbie, Lucy and little "KJ"

Thanks for posting Terry.
Such sad news. I never met Kevan in person but we spoke on the phone a few times and exchanged messages as we both had the 1.9. He was such a helpful guy and his zest for life when he heard of his illness was pure inspiration.
My condolences to Kevans family,
Tim.

Re: Canman - RIP 14 October 2012
I was another member who never met Kevan. But I have followed his adventures and the progression of his illness over the last couple of years both via this forum and conversations with other memeber who were his friends.
This is very sad news indeed.
Out thoughts are with his family and friends.

Re: Canman - RIP 14 October 2012
Such sad news.
I met Kevan on a couple of occasions and he was a guy you just wanted as a friend.
Sincere condolences to his loved one's.
It just put's anything we feel are problems into true perspective....
Rest well Kevan.

Re: Canman - RIP 14 October 2012
This is so sad. Kevan was a great guy, a true zed fan and will be sorely missed by our zed family. I'd met Kevan a few times at meets & cruises, he was one of life's characters. I feel privileged to have known Kevan, if only for a short while, and take some comfort from knowing that he is now at peace. RIP Kevan and sincere condolences to your family.

Re: Canman - RIP 14 October 2012
Sad news. He was a great guy and its so unfair for him to be taken like this. It seems like yesterday when he was driving a cruise I ran late 2011. He gave us all a lesson over the last couple of years - to enjoy life and live for the moment.

I never met Kevan either but I exchanged a few messages with him about his illness. His attitude towards his illness and life was very inspiring. I like to add my condolences to his family

Whilst still feeling very sad I found this picture on the South Yorkshire MNDA website taken at the 2011 Sheffield Half Marathon / Fun Run where a number of people were taking part in support of MNDA. For me the way I would always like to remember Kevan - happy to laugh and help others despite his own problems.
Looks like Claire was enjoying herself as well.

Re: Canman - RIP 14 October 2012
Thanks for posting this Terry.
We where all greatly saddened when the news came through, the loss of an amazing friend, father and other half. I owe thanks to this forum for the opportunity to meet kev back at the Yorkshire cruise a few years back due to his kindness with an offer of a wind deflector for my zed.
From that a fantastic friendship grew. Meny hours of zedding, tinkering and a road trip to end all road trips, memories i will never forget!For that I am grateful that this forum brought me an amazing friend!
kev you will be sadly missed, I think I can say everyone who had the pleasure to me you are truely proud
RIP brother......

Re: Canman - RIP 14 October 2012
I am deeply saddened to learn of Kevans passing. He was an inspirational guy in how he dealt with his illness and displayed gutsy determination in how he got on with life in his final years. I never met him, but I know his friendship and assistance meant alot to many members of this forum. He will be missed.
Our hearts are with his family and loved ones in this time of sorrow.
May he rest in peace.

Only just saw this thread, very sad news indeed. I met Kevan once at the BMW show a few years back, Within five minutes it was obvious how much of a kind and friendly person he was. Rest in peace..
