I worked with Kevin at Peerage Products about 20yrs ago. I remember him as a hard working man with a quirky sense of humour. I was about 18 when I started at Peerage and worked there on and off for a few years around having my first child. I always appreciated that he asked after my daughter and then his whole face would light up as he talked about his son. He found great joy in sharing stories of what James had been up to and the funny things he would say.
My condolences to Kevin's family and friends.

Dear Eileen, James and family,
Very sorry to read of Kevin's sudden and untimely passing. We remember his happy friendly and kind disposition. He was also very supportive of his Mum (our good neighbour, Fee), especially after his Dad Ton passed away and during the challenges she faced during earthquakes and aftershocks. Our sympathy and thoughts are with you all at this time.

Dear GOU, James, & family,

From Carol & Ivan, our deepest condolences on the death of Uncle Kevin.

We are thankful that we got the opportunity to catch-up with Uncle Kevin when we visited Christchurch in February. He hadn't changed, in fact he barely even looked older, though it had been 10 years since we last met in person.

UK will always be the fun uncle to me, who first took me fishing, whitebaiting, tramping and camping as a kid - so many fond memories.

We pray for God's peace and comfort in this time of remembering UK and mourning his loss.
