Kevin Michael Berkes

After an exceedingly brave and stoic battle with ALS, Dad's suffering ended peacefully - surrounded by us - on Sunday, June 23, 2024 at Juravinski Hospital. He made us laugh until the very end.

Loving husband of 45 years to Susan Berkes (Lewington). A most reliable and present Dad/father-in-law to Emily and Michael (Bury), Ryan, Shannon and Matt (Lukas). The proudest and involved "Pappy" to Hazel (Bury), Brecken and Islay (Lukas), who will sorely miss him in their lives.

Dad will be reunited with his late parents, Bill and Barbara Berkes, and in-laws Bev Lewington and Jim Gregory. There will be a lot of catching up to do!

Brother of Laura (Del) Willet, Randy (Anne), Alan, and Terry Berkes. Brother-in-law of Chris (Kelly) and Steve Lewington. Uncle Kevin to Anita, Dan (Zess), Adam, Steve, Stacey, and Jessica (Lewington).

Lifelong friend of Wil (Linda) Maurer and the Rum Club, and Brad (Bonnie) Barton. Member of the Dundas Lions Club and the St. Louis Blues' #1 Fan.

Our Dad taught us to work hard (probably too hard), do what's right, how to show up for your family and friends, and how to fish. He's left a giant hole in our family, as we muddle through without him.

"Grief is the price we pay for love."

Celebration of Life to be held Thursday, July 25, 2:30 - 5:00 p.m. (open house/drop in) at Marlatt Funeral Home, 195 King St. W. in Dundas. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the ALS Society of Canada (ALS.ca) or the Dundas Lions Club.
