My condolences to all of Kevin's family. Thinking of you all in this difficult time

I met Kevin in the mid 90's. Very witty sense of humour. He was my GM/VP on and off for years. No matter the challenge, Kevin would always take the time to sit me down, help me out and talk me through it, without judgement. Whether it was professional or personal, I trusted his advice. Kevin was an honourable man. I feel blessed that I got the opportunity to work on his Team and work beside this true Leader. My heart and prayers go out to Taylor, Kim and the entire Stire family. I am so very sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Kevin, until we meet again.

I always looked forward to time spent with Kevin when they would come to Oshawa and visit our grandparents and see how much trouble we would get into. I always treasure the memories of my time spent with him when I spent a couple of summers in Oakville. It's a shame we lost contact when they moved to Winnipeg. My heart was truly broken when I got the news of his passing. My condolences to Aunt Betty and Alyson and Leslee and to Kevin's wife and children and their families. I will cherish my memories of Kevin

Really sorry to hear about Kevin's passing. Our sincere condolences to his family.

For 13 years I had the opportunity to work with Kevin at the head offices of Canad Inns And always found him to be a no nonsense and very knowledgeable hospitality professional. It was as always clear that he had a deep love and appreciation for his family as well as his work team. He had a quick and dry sense of humour that made him an easy person to get along with. I'm so sorry that his journey was cut short. My deepest condolences and sympathy to Kim and his children. He won't be forgotten. May Kevin rest in eternal peace.

So very sorry to hear of Kevins passing. Like so many others, we met around a hockey rink, it became obvious right away that he was a great dad, husband and friend. Deepest sympathies to Kim and the entire Stire family. RIP Kev.

Kevin was a friend of mine long ago , when we worked at the convention centre. He has a lovely family ,so sad to hear of his struggles in passing . My condolences.

So sorry to hear about Kevin. Like others, we met through hockey and had many memorable trips and experiences together. You will be missed my friend.

I worked for and with Kevin for a number of years in the hospitality industry. He was always respectful & honest & to the point! A great person overall and always up for a laugh. RIP Kevin 🙏

Kevin was an amazing fiend, father, husband, grandfather and mentor. His contribution to the hospitality industry for over 40 years was amazing to watch. His passion for the industry and its members was always on display. Our thoughts are with Kim and the family. He will be sorely missed by everyone he touched.

I was shocked this morning when I heard of his passing. I worked with Kevin at the Winnipeg Convention Centre many years ago.

I remeber him as a fun loving guy and we often played practical jokes on each other. He was so much fun to have around and I have great memories of those early days. I wish the family all the strenght that they need.

So sorry for your loss. He was a great man and father. Our hearts are with the famiy.

Our daughter, Alyssa began dating Kevin's son Regan just over 10 years ago and they married last Sept.

Kevin welcomed our family with open arms and we are so grateful to be part of the beautiful Stire family as in- laws to Regan.

Kevin became a dear friend and a wonderful father-in-law to Alyssa.

He truly was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.  His kindness,  generosity and laughter will never be forgotten.  Sincerest condolences to Kevin's family and friends.

So sorry to hear, I'm Kevin's cousin Dave Braund & remember the sportsman from the 60's

So sorry of the loss you and your family have endured. Our thoughts and condolences are with you all. We have nothing but happy memories of Kevin

Our family was terribly sad to hear of Kevin's passing. We met the Stire's 25 years ago. Our son Brett played hockey with their son Regan and over the years they became very good friends. We were fortunate to share many get-togethers, hockey games, tournaments and parties. His humour, generosity, and kindness touched us all. Please know we are holding you close in our hearts.

We met Kim and Kevin 25 years ago when our sons played hockey together. We were so fortunate to develop a great relationship with the Stire Family which often included hockey trips and summers at the lake. Kevin always had time for others, but put his family first. We will miss your terrific sense of humour and devoted friendship.

I first meet Kevin on August 15 1999, that's when Canada Inns officially took over Polo Park Inn. Kevin was a great guy, always there when you needed him. R.I.P. Kevin 🌹

Our condolences to the family at this very sad time.

I met Kevin many years ago when he was General Manager of Garden City Inn and I was a young Constable working the north end. We always helped each other and he became not only a good work contact but a great friend......I will miss that friend. Godspeed Kevin.
