Mr. Kevin Douglas King of Red Deer, passed away unexpectedly at his home, on Monday, July 11, 2016 at the age of 56 years. Kevin was born in Carman, Manitoba on July 4, 1960 and moved with his family to Innisfail, Alberta in 1979. He completed his High School in Innisfail and shortly after that began his thirty year career with Nova Chemicals, at the Joffre Plant. Kevin retired on April 7, 2014 and was able to enjoy his passions of riding his motorcycle and exploring the West Country of Central Alberta. He was an avid outdoorsman, both fishing and recreational. He was blessed with an infectious personality, keen sense of humour and a constant smile. He will be lovingly remembered by his special partner, Debbie Schell of Airdrie, Alberta; his brother, Mike King (Brenda) of Winnipeg, Manitoba; and his sister, Linda (Dee) Henderson of Vegreville, Alberta. He will also be sadly missed by his step mother, Shirley King of Qualicum Beach, British Columbia; his step sisters, Lori Shilson of Parksville, British Columbia and Candace (Wayne) Muzylowski of Lloydminster, Alberta; and his nephews, nieces and many dear friends. Kevin was predeceased by his parents, Joan King in 1974 and Cameron King in 2012. A Celebration of Kevin's Life will be held at a later date. If desired, Memorial Donations in Kevin's honour may be made directly to the Alberta Fish and Game Association at www.afga.org.
