Kevin Wade Meier

Kevin was a native Albertan, living in the Lethbridge area for most of his adolescent life. Kevin decided to peruse a future in computer sciences, so he moved to Calgary to attend University. It is here where I met Kevin and where our life began. We spent the first 10 years together growing and enjoying our lives and then we started our family, which was Kevin’s biggest pride. He had an incredible sense of humor and was known to be stubborn. He believed in always been informed before starting a conversation or expressing his views, he believed in facts and he thrived on challenges. He had a passion for camping and motorcycles, especially dirt bikes, a love he shared with his 3 daughters and many of his friends. He always asked if I was interested in riding and I always said no because at least one person in the family needed to remain sane. Kevin challenged me and our daughters to always try new things. He had a passion for scuba diving, traveling and gardening and always shared his interest with us. When I first met Kevin he had no interest in traveling outside of camping. It took me 10 years to convince him to travel and once we did, he never looked back. Most of you who knew Kevin were aware of his 5-year battle with stage 4 colon cancer, to which he fought long and hard every day for his family. He showed a tremendous amount of strength, dignity and perseverance while receiving many treatments and always feeling unwell. The last year and especially the last 3 months were beyond difficult for him as he struggled just to be able to function, but he never gave up. Despite the pain he was in, no matter how he felt, he was always there for his family, and we are beyond thankful to have so many incredible memories with him that have accumulated over the years. On the 22nd of March we received the news that Kevin only had weeks to live, and six days later, on March 28, Kevin Wade Meier took his last breath with his daughters and I at his side. He was surrounded by all his siblings, parents and other extended family members, he was never alone and was shown the tremendous amount of love we had for him before and during his final moments. Kevin will forever be cherished and has left behind a legacy that will always be held in all our hearts. He had accepted his outcome and believed that his life reflected everyone he loved. His wish was for his family to celebrate his life and not mourn him and to continue to live, thrive and be happy. No words or amount of time can express the man he was. The love he had for all his family and friends will never be forgotten. I am so beyond thankful that he was able to watch with joy and immense pride as his three daughters became beautiful young ladies. The love, knowledge, strength, and wisdom he shared with them will help guide them throughout their lives, as will his soul. He was and will always be a proud father. His life and essence will live forever in their loving hearts and beautiful smiles. Their dreams will stem from him and forever will he be with them. Life will never be the same, but he will never be forgotten, he will be celebrated every day in the accomplishments, successes, and the lives of his three angels. To the people who Kevin has impacted, thank you for all the love and support. I always knew he was a well-loved man with many supportive friends and family, but the outpour of emails, texts, and calls we received have astounded me. This is a testament to the great man Kevin was, and the memories he made. My love, I will miss our adventures, our family talks and just knowing you are next to me but rest easy, and know that with time, we will all be alright. We will love and miss you every day for the rest of our lives and know that you will be in our hearts and minds for all of eternity.

Until we meet again my love.

A private Celebration of Life will be held at on Friday, April 9, 2021. To view Kevin's service please visit, https://youtu.be/1MQtaP6ec3U
