He will be dearly missed by his wife Bea, sons Jordan and Tristan, daughter Meredith, and two grandchildren Jayden and Payton. A donation has been made to the Canadian Cancer Society and condolences have been extended on behalf of all DRTC members. Member Fundraisers This May, DRTC member Lisa Holdsworth will be competing in Ironman Texas in honour of her brother Kevin, whom she lost to cancer and her adored son Tavis who lives with cerebral palsy and reminds everyone on a daily basis what strength and determination really is. Throughout Lisa's triathlon training she is raising funds and awareness for Grandview Children's Center and Campbells Children's School. "Grandview has been a constant in Tavis' life and we wanted to help other children who need Grandview". To follow Lisa's journey you can read her blog at http://destinationimtexas.blogspot.com.
