Kerry Maxwell Obituary
Kerry was known for his bravery and hardworking nature, always ready to lend a helping hand. His dedication to public service was paralleled by his passion for hobbies such as fishing, woodworking, gardening, and cooking, which brought joy not only to him but also to those around him.
He leaves behind his wife, Gayle Maxwell, along with their children, grandchildren, sisters, sister-in-laws, and brother-in-law. His life was one of active engagement and service, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
As per Kerry's wishes, there will not be a funeral service or memorial service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the ALS Association in Kerry's memory, honouring his brave spirit.

So sorry to hear of Kerry's passing. Worked with him at Maplehurst, and remember his years on Unit 5 of the old C.C. Ironically, I was in a staff training class about a year ago with him, and he related some great memories from those days. My sincere condolences to his family. Kerry was a real gentlemen and well respected by his peers.
