Kevin BATEMAN

BATEMAN, Kevin Glen
It is with great sadness that the family of Kevin Glen Bateman announces his peaceful passing, on August 21, 2017 at the age of 59. He had fought a valiant battle against cancer the last two years and was looking forward to going back to work and travelling, when suddenly he was taken by complications of the liver. The family and friends wish to extend their most sincere thank you to the doctors and nurses of the Tom Baker Cancer Centre/Foothills Hospital and the doctors and nurses of the Intensive Care Unit of University Hospital/Edmonton. A special thank you to Beverly White for her endless care and brother Wayne for home care and dedicated support. Kevin, beloved son of his Mother Lyla, and lovingly remembered by his Brother Wayne (Lynette) Nephew Ryder (Fairone), Great-Nephew Hudson, Nieces Haley and Casey. Predeceasing Kevin was his Father Ken Bateman, Nephew Travis Bateman and Uncle Robert Gibson. Kevin will also be forever remembered by Cousins Beverly White (Jim) Kayla (Shawn), Darlene Sterling (Steve) and family and Brian Gibson. Uncles Jack Bateman and family, Wallace Bateman and family, Aunts Betty Gibson and Evelyn Muggaberg. Treasured friends who stood by him in good times and bad for so many years Jeff Houck, Michael Verdi, Judy Thain, Helen Dexter-Green, Georgia Robertson, and many CNRL colleagues and friends. A private gathering for family and friends has been held. A Celebration will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, August 31, 2017 at New Castle Pub 17th Ave SW. Kevin , although not quiet, had a quiet strength about him that was to prove beneficial the past two years during his fight with cancer. However, the most endearing quality of this precious man, besides his love for family and friends was his quick dry sense of humour.This was often summed up by his unique phrase "That is the magic that is Me".
