PYNE, Kevin William - Born in Boston, Massachusetts on February 1st, 1965. Kevin was 100% in everything he did in his life. He leaves behind his beautiful bride LeaAnn Pyne, and daughter Chloe. If you were to think of Kevin, you would think of his gracious heart and helping hands, and the strength and comfort in them. Kevin is survived by his parents Gene and Dorothy Pyne, his twin brother Keith, and his sister Kelly.
Kevin lived with a few simple credos, that are worth sharing. To live an honest life, and to be considered a good man, he was humble and capable to a fault. Anyone who had the grace to know him would swear up and down this is one of the finest men they’ve ever known. His gift to the world was his perpetual kindness and an open and warm caring for others that was infectious.
Kevin loved sports, athleticism and competition. Kevin and Keith played Basketball for Stamford High school, and went on to play together at Guelph University.
One of the testaments to his character is that he was a self-made man, having learned his own business, and started his own company from scratch. Again, his hands made all the difference to the people he worked with at Pump Pro Shop, and to his friends and clients across the globe. Kevin loved being an entrepreneur, and would take any chance to talk to friends and colleagues about new ventures and ideas. It’s a beautiful thing to reflect on the power of an individual. To all of us, Kevin was the big idea, and an incredible role model for how to live and live well with love and respect.
He was known for having a rock for a morale compass, and he will be remembered for always doing what was right. Kevin’s most important self journey was his relationship with God. He spent endless hours in study and prayer, which were reflected in his eyes and his being, especially to those who had the gift of knowing him.
What would Kevin say of his sudden, unexpected early departure? The answer would leave an indelible mark on all of us; “It is God’s plan, that’s why, how you live your life is everything”.
Ode to the Best Man
That while the others fall he stands, the one with the spirit thats always kind and gives.
The one who cares and listens to the others as they live.
The one who struggles silently and there no sound does make.
While though the storm surrounds him and yet onward he creates.
To him the silent call of spirit beats within his heart,
And leaves no soul untouched that in his presence parts.
The one who stands so strong but yet without the sin of pride.
He lives his life a beacon to those that pass him by.
He waivers not in uncertainty convicted carries on,
The one who leads the way to the narrow path beyond.
To know him is To understand what a human being should be,
Displays the sense of honesty and trueness we long to see.
Without this soldier saint and man
here within our midst
We are left in his shadow,
reflecting on a great example of how to be the best man.
To my loving husband Kevin,
my heart my life my love
With love your wife LeaAnn
