As a quick intro, my name is John and I am married to Pearl, Lalita’s sister.
I met Ken in 2002, when I married Pearl and have known him over 20 years as a result.
When I met him, he was already married over ten years to Lalita. His kids, Chris & Brandon, were young teenagers. So, on meeting him, he was already someone that I looked up to especially in terms of marriage, having a wife and kids.
As I got to know Ken over the years from family gatherings, I realized we had a lot of shared experiences, shared interests and shared values. We were both sons of Guyana that valued family and family connections. We both loved cricket and discussing politics.
Ken seemed to take a certain delight in pointing out that India beat the great West Indies Cricket Team not just once in 1983 World Cup year but beat them twice. The Indian Team with Kapil Dev as the Man of the Match beat the West Indians in March of 1983 at the Albion Sports Complex. That same Indian Team went on only a few months later to beat the West Indians in June to win their first Cricket World Cup. The way that Ken described that match, it was like being there feeling the energy of the crowd as they cheered for India in Berbice County of Guyana against the West Indians. Ken was not only a proud son of Guyana but he was even prouder of being from Albion. He has strong roots in that part of Guyana.
In politics, we often clashed good-naturedly as he voiced opinions more in line with American-style conservatives about individual rights and freedoms. I would have preferred that he was more a Canadian-style conservative with its gentler and less aggressive ideals. I would like to think in his last few years though that he gained a liking for Canadian ideals especially around healthcare.
Ken was bright and articulate. He possessed an analytical mind and an entrepreneurial spirit that brought him success in the aviation security
industry. He was renowned for his hard work in building himself and his family.
Knowing all this about Ken, it was incredibly challenging to see him try to fight his way back from a series of illnesses as he journeyed from home to hospital to home and back to hospital. Watching everyone around him try everything, especially Lalita Brandon and Chris, was inspiring and heartwarming at the same time. His wife and kids are truly a special bunch of people to go through what he went through towards the end.
I know Ken is now in a better place. A place of peace and tranquility. A place where he is free of pain and worry but still able to look over his family as they make their life journey without his physical presence.

Hello everyone,
I’m Pearl, Ken’s sister-in-law. My younger sister and I refer to him fondly as Brother Ken because he was like an older brother to us.
Today, I want to share with you a bit about my brother-in-law from my point of view, knowing him for more than 36 years.
Brother Ken was a respectable, respectful, level headed, hardworking guy. He always smiled and was always in a good mood. He was a positive person who always tried to look on the bright side and encourage others.
He always had good and encouraging things to say to everyone. I never once heard him get angry or say harsh words to anyone and he was always kind to me in his words and actions.
He worked hard making a life with my sister. He was persistent and persevered through any challenges he faced personally and professionally.
He knew his way around anything mechanical and I never saw a thing he couldn’t fix. He was also willing to lend a helping hand to those who needed it.
He was a take charge kind of guy and stepped in when needed but he never overstepped.
And He was also kind, caring and generous to his nieces and nephews. He would always tell my sister to buy more things for my kids at Christmas and for their birthdays. One thing was not enough.
And even when it wasn’t their birthdays, he would always take my sister to buy McDonald’s for my kids whenever they were coming around. This was the sort of person he was. Always kind and thinking of others.
From the day he joined our family and even before that, I could tell that he loved my sister very much and he treated her very well which made me respect and like him even more.
He loved my sister and his two boys so much that he fought so hard to stay for them, even when he was in so much pain, but in the end, God had other plans for him.
He was a strong individual and has always been someone to look up to and I will miss his quiet, jolly presence at our family gatherings.
To my sister and nephews, you all went through it with him. You were an unwavering team. Solid as a rock. I admire and commend your dedication, constant attention and love throughout the past few years, taking the best care of Brother Ken.
May God be with you at this time of need and may He comfort you in your grief and may He lessen your grief day by day.
Although it may be difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back at the good times you had help comfort you and bring you peace. May those memories bring a smile to you.
I once heard that when you lose someone you love, you gain an angel and I believe that. He will always be with you watching over you all and he will live on in the good memories that you shared.
Remember that those we love never go away, they’re always with us in spirit and we are better for knowing Brother Ken and having him be a part of our lives for all these years.
I would like to leave you all with a poem…
Don’t think of him as gone away
his journey’s just begun,
Life holds so many facets,
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and no years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.
When God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
He put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come to me."
He didn’t like what you went through
And he gave you rest,
His garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best.
And when he saw you sleeping
So peaceful and free from pain,
He wouldn’t wish you back
To suffer that again.
Today, we say goodbye
And as you take your final rest,
That garden must be beautiful
Because you are one of the best.
Brother Ken, you will forever be missed dearly - more than words can ever express and you’ll forever be in our hearts.
Your suffering is over and we’re praying for your safe journey!
Rest in peace until we meet again...

The significance of being thought of as a brother but not being of the same blood, is not lost on me. I remember being instantly welcomed to the family by him when we first met. It was as if he knew we shared a similar set of morals and ideals regarding what family meant. There was never a question of where I stood with Ken. He was able to portray a sense of fatherly protective, as well as brotherly love at the same time. You could see it in his actions when he would drive 3 hours for 1-2 hour visit. I could see the degree of effort he was willing to put forward in order to spend time with family, and it will always be inspiring to me.
Ken was able to form bonds of brotherly love and friendship that are rock solid. He is also an In-law like me, but it takes special thought to make that distinction because he had the ability to create a sense of family like no other. He is one of the reasons I have felt so much a part of Sandra’s family. If there was ever doubts in my mind if I had a place amongst her extended family, they were dashed by Ken and his determination to see that I knew I had a place. His actions spoke louder than words and I’ll always remember his example when I consider how generous to be, or how much effort to put forth when it comes to those you consider family.
I will miss him, but his ideals and personality will be a part of me and my family forever, in our actions, and in our love for one another.
Thank you brother.
Love Nick

Most of knew my brother-in-law as Ken. However, I affectionately knew him as brother Ken.
I never thought in a million years that we would lose him this early. I thought we would have more time but time doesn’t seem to answer to anyone and so here we are. How could someone so amazing all of a sudden be not with us anymore.
Ken was one of the most Kind, Caring, Smart, Witty, Funny, hardworking people I have been blessed to know in my 42 years on earth. He came to Canada with a few dollars in his pocket and he built this beautiful family, life and career and he did it solely for his devoted wife Nina, his amazing boys Brandon and Chris. Family was and will always be his number 1 priority.
I knew when I met Ken at the age of 6 that he was going to be one of my favourite people. From the moment my sister Nina, and him tied the knot I said “oh yeah, we are gonna be best friends!” but he treated me much more than that. He treated me like I was his own little sister and he was my amazing big brother.
I always enjoyed spending time with him and my sister. I always looked forward to seeing them. He always has said to me throughout my life, “If you need me at anytime , rain or shine, middle of the night I don’t care call me. I will come.”and I knew he meant that.
Ken, loved visiting our home in Tiverton, ON. He would drive up on a random weekend afternoon with my sister, bring the kids Mcdonald’s and play with them a bit then he would walk pathway down to the waterside and sit down on our weather worn Muskoka chair. He stare into the vast and calming blue waters of Lake Huron. I often observed him and liked to watch how peaceful and happy he seemed out there stealing a few tranquil moments to himself knowing how much he deserved those moments.
He would always tell me how proud he was of me for the life that Nick and I had built for ourselves and it meant EVERYTHING to me. He would buy my artwork at full cost, subscribe to my music, or higher me to make like a million baskets to give out to his work colleagues during the holidays to which he spoke so highly of. He supported and celebrated who I was in every way. He was one of my biggest champions and I am forever grateful and forever honoured to have him in my life.
I wanted to share with you a funny story. My sister and I would go to Collingwood for a girl’s weekend once a summer we would crank the a/c until penquins came out, have some good food and stay up and chat and then fall asleep. Now one night I woke up to go to the little girls room and I looked over and my sister was texting Ken. I said who are you texting? Fully knowing who she was going to say. She looked at me and said Ken.
I nodded excused myself and returned to the bed beside her. Then she says “You know I really feel like a tim’s tea” I said “ oh yeah we can go when we wake up”. The reason this is so funny to me is that I know my brother in law and I know that man would fully get up and go get this woman a tim hortons tea right there and then because he was just that kind of person.
He was there. Not just for her but for anyone who knew him and needed him. Needless to say I did not get her a Tim Horton’s tea at 3:00am in Collingwood that morning. Sorry sis.
I will miss him very dearly and with every fibre in my soul and these morning where I wake up thinking about him with tears in my eyes I will wipe my tears away and remember all the amazing memories I got to share with him. I will try to live my life as he did, being kind, loving, always wanting to help others, being honest, and acting with so much integrity.
Thanks for all the memories brother Ken “You’re simply the best” Love you always.
Sandra & the Tiverton Harvey’s

Ken was a truly kind and remarkable person. When I was just 17, working at Tim Hortons in Pearson Airport, he noticed how my manager was treating me unfairly. Ken encouraged me to resign and offered me a job at ASP, despite my concerns about not yet being 18 and unable to obtain a security license. True to his word, he supported me through the process, ensured I had a schedule once I turned 18, and became one of the best managers I’ve ever worked for. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
