It is with a saddened heart that I announce that Kevin has passed away.

Here is his obituary that was passed on by a mutual friend. Kevin Jones Obituary - First Memorial Funeral Services Burkeview Chapel | Port Coquitlam BC .

Kevin was an Apisto nut, a rare plant hoarder, and a kind soul.

Rest in Peace my friend.

Respectfully,

Stuart

Tankful in Vancouver!

Kevin you were someone I could count on to have long talks about plants and laugh about how crazy cats are. I was always impressed by your knowledge and gentleness. I am really going to miss you buddy.

I worked with Kevin at The Pet Superstore for quite a few months. We stayed good friends for awhile after our experiences there as well. He was a God of the hobby. He was an amazing friend and I am going to miss him an un-describable amount. Just such an interesting and fun guy. So many stories. He won't be forgotten.

Very sorry to hear about this. Did not know him personally but far too young to go. My thoughts are with the family.

Born in '82. Way to young!!! The several times that I dealt with him at Pet Superstore, and earlier at Island Pets, and a place in the Guilford area too I believe. He seemed like a great guy. Shocking. We had some great conversations about breeding fish and reptiles. I'll miss bumping into him at our local fish stores.........

Thank you Anthony.

RIP Kevin.

I also remember very positive experiences dealing with him at Island Pets, back in the day. As well, we would bump into each other at the LFSs and he was always such a positive, helpful, friendly person to talk with. I now regret not making a greater effort to get to know him better while I had the chance. RIP Kevin.

Anthony

You're right on Chris..."Way too young". ...the"place in the Guildford area " you allude to was Ian's shop, in the T&T strip mall on 152nd. Unfortunately another LFS that is no longer with us.....
RIP KEVIN

Really sad to hear. Saw him not too long ago at the auction and had a brief chat. He will be missed.

Condolences to his close friends and family.
