Kevin James Croft
1970-2017
Croft, Kevin James, Truro. It is with great sadness we share
the news of Kevin’s passing on December 2, 2017 at home.
Kevin would have turned 47 on Dec. 5th. To his
friends and family, Kevin was known as a loving son, a dedicated
volunteer, a hard worker and a generous, giving person. Kevin
loved the outdoors especially his weekend outings with friends on his
side by side or four-wheeler. As a member of the North Shore
ATV Club he spent countless hours riding the trails around Nova
Scotia. When not on the trails, he could usually be found watching
NASCAR or tackling another project with Jim at the farm or in the
backyard. Kevin began his career at HMCS dockyard in Halifax where he
trained as an Industrial Mechanic. After the dockyard, Kevin
worked in both Sudbury and Yellowknife before coming home to continue
working in his trade. Kevin spent the last 18
years as a dedicated employee of LaFarge in Brookfield. He
was an active volunteer with the Bible Hill Kinsmen for over 18 years
working on countless projects and giving back to his
community. There were few Kinsman projects over the years
that Kevin was not involved with. Through Kinsmen, Kevin
made friends all over the Maritimes.
Kevin is survived by his two step children who he admired and
adored, Kali and Jacob Crosby, his parents James and Carolyn Croft of
Bible Hill, his sister Karen Anne (Pierrynowski) of Bedford, her
husband Darryl and three nephews, Ben, Sam and Noah. He is
also survived by uncles and aunts, Francis and Anne Croft
(Martin’s River) and Lloyd and Mary Tattrie (New
Glasgow). Kevin will also be missed by his four-legged
companion, Winnie who was constantly by his side.
He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents Dora and
Gilbert Tattrie; paternal grandparents Hannah and John
Croft.
Arrangements are under the direction of Mattatall~Varner

place on Wednesday Dec. 6th from 6-8

7th at 1 pm. The Reverend Lori Ramsey
