KENNETH IVAN CROWDIS

KENNETH IVAN CROWDIS

Lieu de décès : Halifax, Nouvelle Ecosse, Canada
Date de décès : 28 août 2017

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Kenneth Ivan Crowdis, beloved husband, son, brother, father, and grandfather. At the age of 63, the long-time Sydney River resident succumbed to complications from a sudden heart attack at the QE II Health Sciences Halifax Infirmary on August 28, 2017.
A graduate of Saint Francis-Xavier University, where he studied science and physical education, Kenneth worked as an automotive mechanic in the family business, Crowdis Auto Service, alongside his father for many years before moving on to Ramsay’s Cycle and Sport and then FrameWork Cycle and Fitness, where his passion for cycling and expert mechanical knowledge helped others enjoy the sport. Ken was a life-long athlete who enjoyed playing hockey, skiing, and snow shoeing among innumerable other sports, although he was happiest cycling through the Margarees or around the Sydney area; he enjoyed the company of his fellow cyclists whom he joined weekly throughout all seasons. He was an avid outdoorsman who maintained a great respect for nature and enjoyed hiking, hunting, and fishing, including fly fishing on the Margaree and Cheticamp Rivers, and was involved in various sporting and outdoors groups such as the Metro Rifle and Pistol Club, where he previously served as treasurer, and the Cape Breton Anglers Association.
Above all else, Kenneth was dedicated to his family. He and Sylvia enjoyed spending time in East Margaree in the LeBlanc family home which they recently renovated. He looked forward to visits with his precious daughter and his little grandson, who enjoyed entertaining and playing with his Poppie. Kenneth will be remembered as a loyal friend who readily lent a helping hand, as a kind, quiet, and caring man with a strong sense of duty as well as a quick wit who could laugh at life’s absurdities. He had a rare integrity and strength of character as well as a keen protectiveness toward those he loved that made them feel safe and reassured in his presence. He was aware that life was fragile and our time on earth could be short and strove to make each day count. The way he lived his life is a model for those he left behind and the memories he created with those who had the good fortune of knowing him will keep him alive in our hearts for eternity.
He is predeceased by his sister, Jennifer Lynn; brother, Allan Timothy and his mother, Rubena (Thorne) Crowdis. He leaves to mourn his treasured wife of thirty-nine years, Sylvia (LeBlanc); his father, Ivan Crowdis; brothers, Todd (Marg) of Sydney River and William (Lynette and niece Maclean) Crowdis of Halifax; as well as daughter, Suzanne; son-in-law, Paul and cherished grandson, Ephraim Kenneth (Ottawa).
There will be no visitation; instead, a celebration of his life will take place at the Belle Cote Community Centre Sunday, September 10, 2017 from 1-3 p.m.
