He will be missed by his extended Howard, Parkinson and Allard families on the Manitoulin Island and his fur baby Kya. Donations to the Canadian Liver Foundation are appeciated. Please remember the importance of organ and blood donation. Kevin will be remembered for his innovative contributions to the Ottawa region’s graphic design industry.
