Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony, NL on Monday; January 6th, 2020 at the age of 65 years. Kevin Wilcox was born on September 15th, 1954 in Englee, Newfoundland to William and Beatrice Wilcox. Kevin was a hard worker and worked with the Town of Englee for a number of years and held the position of Fire Chief for a term. He also worked for the sawmill in Roddickton until he went back to school in St Anthony, and from there moved to Goose Bay in 2006 at which time he completed a welding course. He finished his career with Frenchie’s Outdoor Shop in Goose Bay when his ongoing battle with cancer prevented him from working any longer. Kevin was well known for his passion for motorcycles and his wife Debbie would joke with him that he thought more about his bike than he did her. He enjoyed salmon fishing and being out in nature whether on the highway on his motorcycle, or on the river with his fly rod. Kevin enjoyed being with people and would joke and carry on with the people he came in contact with. Kevin was loved and cherished by his wife Debbie and will be missed by his children.
