- Patrick Kearns

Dear members of Kevin’s family.
Kevin and I were classmates and lifelong friends. Each time we met, it was like old home week. We would recall our younger days and become current on our lives. It came as a shock to learn of Kevin’s death and the underlying reasons for his death.
I thank God for having met Kevin and sharing bits and pieces of our lives over the years. He was a great man, a dedicated priest a major force for good in our community and in our parishes.
We will miss this great,  yet humble priest who exemplified all of the divine qualities of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May God receive you into his Holy Presence Kevin, and give you a special place among the angels and saints.
With my sincere condolences and deepest sympathies.  Michael McAlear, Ottawa, On.

My deepest sincere condolences to all family and friends. 
I sense the whole City of  Cornwall is in mourning for the loss of a dedicated Priest and a good man, who touched so many lives. 
Thank you so much for all your service Father Maloney to the Community  of Cornwall and beyond. 
You are all in my prayers and thoughts
Kay, 🙏

Deepest condolences to everyone. He was a special man to many people and will be dearly missed. Catherine and Edward Michaud

Alice and I became friends with Fr. Kevin when we were preparing for marriage at St. Columban's.   We were a little older than many other engaged couples at that time and felt we really didn't need to take the marriage preparation course.  He diplomatically corrected us and of course was completely right  about how much the program would benefit us in our marriage.  After nearly 30 years we still go back to things we learned in marriage prep.   He also helped us understand our Catholic faith better in a course he was giving called "What do Catholics Believe?"   He had a gift for explaining things in a relevant and basic way that just made sense, much like he did in his homilies.  We became active in parish life as a couple and later with our four children.. one year we dressed up as Mary and Joseph with our infant son at Christmastime... I couldn't say no to Fr. Kevin but this was a little out of my comfort zone.   Although we said we wouldn't follow him to St. Peter's,  we eventually did and he became a genuine source of guidance and support for us during the early years of our family's faith journey.  He was Olivia's Godfather and a wonderful example to all of our children of the Christian values we were trying to instill in them.  He made church fun and didn't sweat the small stuff like when our sons sang "Ring Around the Rosy" when they were in line for a blessing at Communion time.  He was a true friend, a wonderful priest and a great example for all of us.  We will miss him but hope, with his presence in heaven, he will continue to pray for us,  and that we will join him there when it is our turn.  Alice, Harry, Olivia, Andreas , Alexandros and Elena Haramis.

As many we were saddened and shocked to hear of Father Kevin’s passing. He was always a constant in our lives and there to put a smile back on our face in difficult times. 

Father Kevin always went above and beyond even with both my parents passing (Rudy and Karen Haramis) to comfort us with our loss. He listened and gave great support in our time of need. 

He will be missed but what a positive impact he marked on this world. 

My condolences to his family and his community 

Karlie and Kelvin Enequist (and family)

Deepest Condolences to Father Maloney's Family and All who knew him. This is him and I at my Fisrt Communion, I think, 1974. St. Columban's Church.

To all of Fr. Kevin's family we are so sad and sorry about his passing.  What a tremendous shock and loss to you but also his church and community family.  He was that constant in all of our lives that we knew when we needed him he was there.  What are we going to do without him?  He would tell us " you can figure it out".  He was a true gift to our family in so many ways during some very difficult times.  He  carried us through each time with just the right words and often with some humor and a whole lot of grace.  To all of Fr. Kevin's family who mourn his loss, thank you for sharing him with all of us and we all mourn with you.   Rest in Peace Fr Kevin .  We will  start praying to you  now to ask for your eternal guidance and that someday we meet again.  The Haramis Family  Peggy and Randy,  Cathy and Jim,  Harry and Alice,  Susan and Ross, Judy and Norm, Nick and Joyce, Michael and Lynne, Nancy and John, and Patrick and JoAnne.

I was heartbroken to hear about the loss of Father Kevin. He was a remarkable individual whose faith and guidance touched the lives of so many. His kindness, compassion, and unwavering dedication to his ministry and our community will always be remembered.

During this difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you find comfort in the cherished memories you hold and in the support of one another.

With deepest sympathy,

Dr. N. H. Shah + Mrs K. Shah and the Shah Family

Father Kevin was one of the best persons on earth! He married us then attended a remembrance mass for our son, Nicholas .... He will fondly remembered & his Irish sense of humour, too!  Rest in peace because if anyone  deserves it - you do!!

Sincerely, 
Cathy, Eric & Lindsay Groves

Elaine  Alex and family, my condolences at this sad time.

My deepest condolences to your family and to the Parish.  Father Kevin, you will be sadly missed and forever remembered.  I am extremely grateful for the time I was able to spend with you.  I knew you for just under a year, however my memories of you will last a lifetime.   Thank you for helping me grow closer to God, for your beautiful homilies, and for your kind heart.

God Bless.

Father Kevin was a Blessed Man of God.Now that he is free of his earthly  responsibilities Fr. Kevin is now rewarded with being with his friend Jesus. 
  Fr.Kevin was a beacon of light for all of us.

I can’t believe your gone. You’re an amazing man. Just 3 short months ago you took time out of your busy schedule to stop by and see my dad( Frank Amell) on his last day.  If I would have know you were in your last days…I would have taking the time to give you a bigger hug! 
I’ll never forget how we sat and talked for hours and cried together about concerns I had . You will be missed my friend.  Gone way too soon, trusting God,  you are in a much better place with Jesus walking streets of  gold 😘

Catholic Engaged Encounter Niagara will always be grateful to Monseigneur Kevin for his selfless service to engaged couples and those who minister to them, especially during the Covid years when we needed Msgr to celebrate Mass for us, virtually. 
Monseigneur Leo Clutterbuck, Father Aji Varghese, Father Chad Grennan, Father Krzysztof Szczepanik, , Anne and Mel Burtnik, Celine and Marc de Grosbois, Jennifer and Frank Stoop.

Like many of you I have known Father Kevin for a very long time but more intimately from 2008 when he joined Catholic Engaged Encounter to help us with the Marriage Preparation in the Alexandria Cornwall Diocese. 
 
 My husband and I later became coordinators for Canada and asked Fr Kevin to accompany us and be our spiritual director in this leadership. We became a trio. A few years later we were selected to be part of the International CEE and again Fr. Kevin said “yes” to accompany us in that responsibility for 7 years until my husband's birth into heaven.  As a trio we travelled to many parts of the world and our time together was precious in so many ways.  
He loved to travel… that was no secret.  He loved meeting people and was so accessible to them and they gravitated to him as well. Most often we travelled to areas where the Catholic Faith was dominant but in one of these missions, we travelled to India and the Philippines for three weeks.  There I saw the most compassionate, open-minded side of his character and faith while dealing with Hindu people, especially their temple leaders, although he drew the line at being blessed by an elephant. 
  
My husband and I learned much in observing him, his interactions, and his childlike ability to have fun with those who crossed his path.  
I am richer in knowledge and in faith for the time we have spent together.  
Ginette  (and Bernard who is already in heaven.)

My deepest condolences to the family. He was my parish priest and was involved at St. Joe’s when I attended. He was well loved and for good reason as he emulated Christ’s love in his life.  RIP Father Kevin.

I met Father Kevin when I was a young boy around 5 or 6 and soon became an alter boy.    I had the pleasure of being one of his parishioners for many, many years.   I moved around from Cornwall, to Ottawa to Toronto and without question, in all the churches and different priest I met, there was no better priest than Father Kevin.  I got to tell him that a few years back after a visit back home and one of his mass’.   He mixed his religious faith with humour and told great stories.  I absolutely adored him.  My deepest condolences to his family and friends.  All I can really say. was that he was a great leader of Christ and made a positive impact on many of us.  RIP Father Kevin.  You’re loved and missed.

Dear Elaine, Alex and The Maloney Family, 
We offer our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to all of you. May Our Lord watch over all of you as you grieve the loss of your dear Msgr Kevin. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Msgr Kevin will never be forgotten for he was a blessing to all who knew him. Our world was better for his presence. 
Brian and Maureen Ouimet

I so sorry for your loss and the loss to our community. A great man and priest he was there for my baptism, first communion, confirmation and many a Sunday service growing up. Rest in peace you have given a lifetime of service.

He was an inspiring human being that touched the lives of many mine included RIP

My deepest condolences to the family, friends and other members of our parish.
Father Kevin’s Homilies were so easy to listen to and always relatable to everyday life in some way. He always found the perfect words to convey God’s message  and even found a way to add his special humour which showed his wonderful personality. I will definitely miss his sermons. 
Rest in peace

My deepest condolences to Msgr. Kevin’s family and friends. I have known him essentially my entire life, as he was the priest for several of my friends and family members over the years. I had the absolute pleasure of having Msgr. Kevin as my priest for the last ten years, and he had been hugely supportive when I wanted to include St. Regis Church parishioners and choir members in events we had. God bless you, Msgr. Kevin, a true man of God.

Father Kevin was a gift from God. He was there when we needed him most & gave us the courage to persevere despite the challenge to move forward. Somehow he was able  to convey  whether in his Sunday sermons, eulogies, or everyday  conversation that with hope, faith, and perseverance our lives will make a difference with everyone we have met or will meet.
Thank you Father Kevin for making the lives of so many people better. We are forever in your debt & ask that you continue to bless us in you heavenly home.

I'm so sad to hear of father Kevin's passing.  He was always there for my family.  My parents would follow him to any church he was assigned to, his sermans had meaning and brought us peace.  He married both my brothers, he was the chaplin at St. Joseph's high school when I attended. He also provided my mother her last rights a few days before she passed and had lovely words of comfort during her memorial.  When our father passed last summer we had ask him to come say a few words at his internment unfortunately he had another commitment.  We will always remember him fondly.  My condolences to all who knew him and especially his loving family.  Thank you for sharing him with us over the years.

Our condolences to Elaine & Alex & the Maloney Family on the passing of Msgr. Kevin.  Our beloved Msgr. Kevin was God's gift to our community.  He was a kind, friendly, caring man of faith and a gifted homilist who raised us up during his busy priesthood over 52 years of service to God and his parishioners.  We will remember our times with him and his big smile and humour.  
Father Kevin was also very active in our community.  He was one of the founders of the Big Brothers in 1973 and served on the board for many years.  He was active with the Children's Aid Society, the Children Treatment Centre, and founded the Patrons of St. Columban Foundation in 2005. Father Kevin will be greatly missed by all who knew him as a friend.  May he Rest in Peace.
Brian Lynch & Katie Burke

Our condolences to the Maloney family Father Kevin will be greatly missed by many.   He definitely had a gift when it came to his homilies. Especially when someone would pass away his homily was about that person and what they did throughout their lives.   He always knew just what to say. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of sorrow. Love and prayers Vince and Sue McAlear 🙏

Monsignor Kevin Maloney has always been a priest who treated me and my children with a warm welcome. 
It has made my 32 years as a pastor an added pleasure.
It’s no wonder why he has been highly respected in Cornwall and area.

Cornwall has lost a wonderful priest and a great human being. He was loved, respected and admired by everyone in our community who came in contact with him. I remember him fondly. He was one of my students when I first started teaching at SLHS in the early 60’s.
He will be greatly missed.

To family and church acquaintances
I have a heavy heart knowing I wiil never see our beloved pastor's smile again.  He was important in my life. I will cherish his memory.
Aurelie Wall

Such a kind, genuine person who always spoke from the heart. I'm not a Catholic, but I loved to hear Father Kevin give sermons. He spoke with such ease and you always came away learning something and being the better for it.

You are home with your Father at last. A truly lovely person who served God and his community.

Deepest sympathys to a most wonderful and loved priest.

Dear Elaine and Family

What a great loss you are facing and also the many people who knew Fr. Kevin as a friend, and parish priest during his career which he dedicated to Our Lord.  He is right up there in a special place reserved for him and he will continue to look after his flock from up there.  Be strong Elaine and you have many beautiful moments you shared with Kevin..we all do.  My condolences to you and your family and everyone who knew and loved Fr. Kevin.

To Father Kevin’s Family
Words cannot express my shock on learning of his passing.   I have known him since I moved here in 93 .   We’ve crossed paths many times socially and I even assisted him in Sears when he was trying to buy a cardigan and we laughed & carried on like kids in a candy store, he couldn’t seem to pick one that suited his shape.   He was a true man of God, he made the world a brighter place with his humor and big smile.   He gave hope when all seemed lost, he gave us joy when things were good in our lives, he comforted the sick & dying and  I had made him promise he’d be the one doing my funeral Mass and to keep it short!   But I guess God had other plans and now we grieve his loss, but rejoice that he lived among us.    Now he has finally seen the Face of God and can rest easy after a job well done.   He will be missed!    See you later my friend!
Joan Grainger

Rest In Peace dear friend Monsignor Kevin Maloney.  You're the best and I'm sure the Good Lord has a special place in heaven for you.  God Bless.
Joe St Denis

Father Kevin is one of the nicest individuals you were ever going to meet.  I am so blessed to have know him.  I have so many great memories of father Kevin from serving as an Alter Boy, playing golf with him to water slides and then was fortunate to have him marry my wife and I and then have him baptize my daughter.   You will be missed Paul Paquette and Family

He was a great man. When I needed someone to talk to he was there. He will be missed for sure.

Father Kevin was my favourite priest. I will miss him.

Great memories, great sense of humor, thanks Father Kevin, RIP

My heartfelt condolences to the family.  I, like many, am still in shock.  I have known Fr. Kevin since I was a child at Blessed Sacrament in the ’70’s.  I will be forever grateful for his spiritual support and guidance over the years; and especially for his comforting presence at the loss of both of my parents.  Thank you, Fr. Kevin for everything!  You leave a gaping hole in Cornwall’s faith community.  Well done and rest in peace, good and faithful servant.  You will be deeply missed by so many.

My deepest sympathies to Msgr. Kevin's family, and to the entire parish community, on his passing.

IT IS WITH A SINCERE CONDOLENCE AND HEARTFELT SHOCK TO HAVE RECEIVED SUCH NEWS CONCERNING FATHER KEVIN ON SATURDAY SEPT. 21/2024.  WHAT A WONDERFUL PERSON, A TREMENDOUS PRIEST, A  BEAUTIFUL SMILE,  A JOKER AT TIMES WHEN NEEDED.  TO HIS FAMILY AND ALL EXTENDED  FAMILIES A GIANT VOID WILL BE  IMPRINTED IN YOUR LIVES.  PRAYING  THAT GOD WILL COMFORT YOUR HEARTS.

LISE AND SON BRIAN DICOLA

Msgr. (Father) Kevin was a warm-hearted and extraordinary man who touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. My family and I were welcomed into his church with open arms, and in the short time we spent there, we became deeply involved in the community he nurtured. My daughter, Ava, had the honor of serving alongside him every Saturday, an experience she cherished. My husband and father joined the Knights of Columbus, while I became part of the choir, inspired by the joy and unity he fostered. Msgr. Kevin was a shining example of the power of community and the importance of giving back. His wit, charm, and genuine care for others were contagious, and his spirit will forever remain with us. He was truly a blessing to all who knew him.

Our condolences to Msgr. Kevin's family, friends and greater community.

Our sincerest condolences to the family and loved ones of Fr. Kevin. He was our high-school chaplain and always had such a wonderful rapport with students, encouraging us in our faith, but also engaging with teenagers in an approachable manner, playing cards and making us laugh. As a church pastor, he lead his flock with dedication, love and humour, devoting himself to several parish communities simultaneously. He presided over our wedding and was a special part of our day. Fr Kevin will be remembered in our home and hearts, as a servant of the Lord and of others. He will be missed but we will pray for his continued intercession from  heaven as he rejoices in his new life with our Heavenly Father and the choirs of angels.

In the book "St Andrew's Parish, 200th Anniversary, 1785 - 1985", on page  38, we see a beautiful picture of Father Kevin Maloney.  Kevin was from Saint Andrews and we were blessed to have such a holy priest orginally from this small village.  I also was born in St Andrews.  Kevin and I went to the same school.
Today, my memory goes out to him asking him to pray so that others may hear the call to become priests and generously give their life, like Kevin did, to God  for his Church.
My condolences to all Kevin's family.
Sister Fernande Levac

It is with great sadness that my husband and I write this condolence to Monseigneur Kevin Maloney's family. We left  a  fomer church  to got    to  St. Francis.  The first Sunday we were at church, Father Kevin Maloney  welcomed us before and after church.  His Homily was like nothing we had heard before.  We fell in love with the parish and all  the people who came there. We also saw what real religion was.We found a friend, a priest and wonderful person.,If all people were like Father Kevin what a beautiful world it would be.  We hope you know just what a great person your family member was.Please accept our sincerest condolences to you all. Leo and Linda Doreen Emond.

Father Kevin was a wonderful person, man and priest. He was caring and loving. He was also very funny. He made my years at St Joseph’s Secondary School memorable. Our masses were always wonderful.
I still remember the Christmas concert when the boys dropped their pants, showing their decorative Christmas boxers, for the Marshmallow song, leaving Miss McAlear in stitches,  and Father Kevin’s jaw dropped, followed by laughter, as him and sister Mary couldn’t keep it together. The choir found it hard to keep it together! He was a great man! 
Never heard a negative word spoken about him. He will be missed.

Dear Elaine (Alex) and family, please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of Fr. Kevin. I have so many fond memories of our times visiting with Aunt Gertie, Uncle John and family.  I will be thinking of you all, and have you in my prayers.  With all my sympathies, Cousin Shirley Brunet (nee Daniels)

I am so sorry for the loss of Fr. Kevin.  He was an inspiration to me and helped me better understand the word of God.
Bernie Alain

Rest in Peace Monseigneur Kevin, you were a true disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 ❤️ 😢.
