Kevin Larry Blatchford Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Kevin Larry Blatchford (Nanaimo, British Columbia), born in Sudbury, Ontario, who passed away on December 31, 2025, at the age of 49, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Kevin Larry Blatchford to pay them a last tribute.

Kevin was a generous, funny, and charming man, with a gentle and shy side that those closest to him knew well. He had a deep love for the great outdoors, his family, and his pets, all of which brought him comfort and joy throughout his life.

He was naturally skilled in music and took great pleasure in back-road dirt biking and operating heavy equipment—activities that reflected his adventurous spirit and hands-on nature.

Kevin leaves behind his partner, Sonja, and their son, Tyson; his daughter, Breanna White; his sister, Sunshine Defrane (Dan); and his nieces, Ashley (Skylar) and Celeste (Dalton). He is also lovingly remembered by his parents, Larry and Virginia Blatchford.

A private family gathering has been held to honour his life .
