Kevin’s Obituary
Martin, Kevin Gerard – age 58, Shelburne, passed away unexpectedly at home on September 29th, 2020. Kevin was born on November 19th, 1961 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Glace Bay to Bob Martin and Karen (McMullin) Martin. Born and raised in Glace Bay, Kevin was always a hell raiser who enjoyed keeping everyone on their toes. Kevin spent time working construction in Toronto, Ontario where he helped build the Rogers Centre (formerly known as the Sky Dome). After many bouts of excitement, he found the love of his life and settled into family life. Kevin was passionate about helping support troubled youth, aiding others in need, and most of all his children. When Kevin became a widowed father, he made sure to take care of his children and inspire them to reach their full potential. He will be remembered most for his volunteer work, being an amazing father, and always being the person who would listen. Kevin is survived by his four children, Meghan Martin, Robert Martin, Katherine Martin, and Athena (Matt) Stevens, grandchildren Andrew and Adam Stevens, mother Karen (Martin) Nolan, sister Cindy (Brent) MacDonald and nephews Liam and Neil MacDonald. He was predeceased by his father, Bob Martin and wife Robyn (Dittler) Martin. A visitation will take place on Wednesday, October 7th at 1:00 pm in the H.M. Huskilson’s Funeral Home, Shelburne, followed by a memorial service at 2:00 pm. Due to Covid-19 regulations masks will be required to be worn in the venue. Burial will take place in Glace Bay at a later date. If you will be attending, please contact Meghan Martin. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Lung Association. You may sign the guestbook at www.huskilson.net
