Please join us in celebrating
Kevin 'Kevvy' Herbert's life.
Kevin Herbert Stillwell (Kevvy)
25 September 1948 – 12 July 2025
Aged 76 years
With great sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Kevin Herbert Stillwell, known fondly as Kevvy, on 12 July 2025, aged 76. After a long and courageous battle with multiple health issues, Kevin passed away peacefully in his sleep. Beloved husband to Dotty – the “old dragon,” as he affectionately called her. Cherished dad/D and father-in-law to the late Jason Stillwell – whose memory Kevin held close to his heart, Marc & Krystal Stillwell and Amy & Ben Allwright. Much loved Poppy to his grandchildren – Braxton, Chloe, Kohen, and Harper, who brought him endless pride, joy, and the occasional headache. Kevin was known for his sharp wit, no-nonsense honesty, and his unique ability to give people grief – always with a twinkle in his eye. He had a way of making people laugh, even when they weren’t sure if they were supposed to. A celebration of Kevvy’s life will be held at the Linwood Salvation Army Hall, 177 Linwood Avenue, on Saturday 26th July from 2:30pm. All who knew and loved him are warmly welcome to join us in remembering his life, his laughter, and his love. Please let family know if you plan on attending for catering purposes. Casual dress. In lieu of flowers, give someone a bit of cheek today — Kevvy would’ve liked that.
