PLUIM, Kevin Douglas "Zephyr" - An amazing man, age 62 of Toronto, escaped this spinning rock on Monday morning, June 25, 2018.
Kevin left behind 48 bottles of liquor, 38 bottles of wine and multitudes of other random items that would prove helpful in the event of an impromptu gathering of friends and family who will miss him dearly.
Kevin was born to Albert and Betty Pluim on April 22, 1956, in Edmonton, Alberta.
Kevin was the 2nd of four - older sister Linda (Brian) Duffy and younger brothers Lee (Betty) and Richard Pluim.
In 1991, "Zephyr" took the plunge and got hitched to the love of his life, Heather Johnson (Heather and Kevin make "Heaven"). They always felt incredibly "lucky" to spend as many "special" moments together as they could.
Kevin will be deeply missed and loved by his son, Johnlee (Theresa) Raine and grandchild Jackson, who adoringly called him Dado. Kevin was a smart, curious person (in so many ways) and he loved to learn.
His zest for life long learning enabled him to collect a gambit of professional trades and certificates such as turd herder, pipe fitter to A/C refrigeration mechanic.
The family would love to express tremendous and heartfelt thanks to the truly exceptional staff at Princess Margaret Hospital Mesothelioma Team and Palliative Care Unit, who provided not only exceptional care for Kevin, but also a peaceful and compassionate environment prior to his departure from this planet.
Family, friends (and #GoodEggs) are invited to celebrate "Skinny-toes" Kevin on Saturday, June 30th, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. with remarks/tribute around 3 p.m., at 4034 4th Line, Bradford, Ontario. This is an outdoor venue so feel free to wear your shorts and bring your own lawn chair #WhateverTheWeather.
Memorial donations in Kevin's name can be made to your favorite charity or to your favorite local establishment in order to buy yourself a cold drink in his honour.
