With heavy hearts, we would like to inform the WORA community of the passing of Kevin Meek, the father of Kailey Meek.  After a brief battle with cancer, Kevin passed peacefully on Sunday, September 24, 2017 at the age of 54 years.

Kevin’s daughter, Kailey, was a long time WORA player and on-ice helper and Kevin was our web-master for a number of years. He proudly attended our senior banquet this last spring to see Kailey receive the Belle Leadership Award for WORA.

Kevin is survived by his loving spouse, Carolyn, children, Kailey and Connor, and many loving relatives, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Following his family’s wishes, no funeral will be held. A celebration of life will take place on:

Saturday, October 28
2-4pm
The Lions Hall
Stittsville (1339 Main Street)

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Stittsville Food Bank are appreciated (Stittsville Food Bank).

Condolences and memories may be shared here.
