COWEN, Kevin

My dad was many things — a loving husband, a devoted father, a proud grandfather, a brother, an uncle, and a dear friend to many — but to me, he was simply Dad, and he was my hero.

Dad showed his love through his actions — through his care, his gentleness, and his unwavering devotion to his family.

He was one of the most caring people I’ve ever known, especially when it came to my boys. He adored William and Jonathan with his whole heart, and his excitement and love for Baby Evans #3, due in 2026, was something truly special. He was so proud to be their Grandad, and the bond he shared with them will live on forever.

Dad took my husband, his son-in-law Ashley, into his heart as though he were his own son. Their bond was built on respect, loyalty, and a deep mutual love that meant more than words can say.

As my father, he taught me the true meaning of love, strength, and loyalty. He taught me to be honest, to work hard, and to always stand by the people I love. I always knew how proud he was of me, and that is a gift I will carry in my heart forever.

Dad touched so many lives just by being himself. He was gentle, dependable, and kind. He listened without judgement and loved without condition.

Losing my dad has left a piece of my heart missing, but I am forever grateful for the time I had with him — for the memories, the lessons, the laughter, and most of all, for his love.

Dad, you will always be missed, always be loved, and never be forgotten.

Forever in my heart.

Kevin/Grandad
I’m lost for words!! You scooped me up and claimed me as one of your own.
Your guidance and warmth will never be forgotten.
You were more than family — you were strength, humour, and steady support.
Thank you for welcoming me into the family with open arms and kindness.
Your wisdom lives on in the lessons you shared, both spoken and silent.
May your soul find rest. You’ll be deeply missed and always honoured.

Good Old uncle Kev,
It’s been a week and I still struggle to articulate how this news has devastated me.
You were so much more than “my friend Kylie’s dad” you welcomed me in to your life as if I was one of your own. You were like a 2nd father, always ready for a hug when we met, there with words of supported when I needed them and unconditional love.
You welcomed all, never judged and would help anyone in need; values you have passed on to your family.
You passed peacefully with a heart full of love and such pride in the life you accomplish.
You will be so missed, spoken about for years to come as we all share our fond memories of you and never forgotten xxx

Our hearts go out to the whole family, especially Vicki. You have many happy years of memories which you can cherish forever. Keep strong and we will see you soon. Karin, John and family xxxx

Uncle Kevin,
I never wanted this day to come. A part of me still can’t believe you’re gone and my heart feels so heavy knowing I won’t get to see you earth side again. The love you showed me and my children is something words will never be able to capture.

You were the most loving, caring, loyal, giving and family oriented man I have ever known. The way you loved your family is the way every family should be blessed to feel. Steady, strong and unconditional.

I’m forever grateful for every memory we shared, for the kindness and love you showed me and for all the stories you told that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I love you so much Uncle xx

May you rest in peace Kevin Snr, you were such a great man with an enormous heart that would do absolutely anything for his anyone especially your beautiful family. It was a great pleasure to have known you. May your wings fly high, we will remember forever in our hearts
