Dear Marilyn and Sacha
Sending my sincere condolences and huge hugs. Doctor Gross and I were most fond of your family. From Everett' s twirling on ice. Gorgeous Sacha and her adventures. Lovely Marilyn. Kevan was always such fun and a gentleman. A great loss

Such a fun man, with a great sense of humour! He introduced us to Monty Python, which I still love!

Kevan and I worked together driving cast and crew in The Toronto Film Industry years ago.
The first time we met, he told me he was in a band named Rough Trade. The first words out of my mouth were Highschool Confidential? Carole Pope?
He was surprised I even knew that.
RIP Kevan.

My most sincere condolences to Kevan´s friends, family, and colleagues. Rough Trade was such an important, innovative band. I regret that I never got to meet him.

I am saddened by this news. I met Kevan in 1974 when I was living downtown at 36 Maitland. We both were cast in an overnight shoot at the airport, and he came back to my apartment at 6 a.m. for tea and great conversation. I cherish that memory of our brief time together. I was a big fan of his band and Carole Pope's voice. Condolences to the family.

In the beginning , upstairs above the Brass Rail or the Zanzibar on Yonge, myself and a few friends were all that were present to hear a band called Rough Trade long before Toronto became aware of the music. It was quite the night.
Decades later when our paths crossed again more personally and away from the music, Kevan, his partner and their much loved Weimeraners became good friends in my field of practice. Kevan was kind, caring, cheerful, intelligent, grounded and so much more gifted as a human being which has become lost in humans today. I am heartbroken to hear of our loss of such a wonderful man.
