Obituary of The Reverend Kevin Baglole

The Reverend Kevin J. Baglole, passed away peacefully (in his 54th year) on Tuesday January 29, 2019 at Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice after a 17 month journey with cancer. Kevin leaves behind his beloved wife Gail, son Joshua, daughter Hannah, mother Helen, sisters Karen, and Kelly (Sandro), and niece Kendra. Kevin was predeceased by his father Edward Kenneth Baglole. Kevin worked for the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant LHIN as a Psychosocial Spiritual Bereavement Clinician. Helping people connect with a greater purpose in their last moments was Kevin’s true calling. Prior to his work with the HNHB LHIN, Kevin worked in Long Term Care first as a chaplain and later as an administrator at a number of facilities. Throughout his rostered ministry in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, Kevin served many local Lutheran and Anglican churches as their pastor, interim pastor, or supply pastor. Kevin was a proud member of St. Andrew’s Lodge #593, and eagerly participated in their benevolence work. One of the great passions of Kevin’s life was the time he spent with Special Olympics Grimsby-Lincoln. Kevin’s family wishes to express profound thanks to the care provided by Dr. Dhesy-Thind, the staff at Juravinski Cancer Centre, the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice, and Kevin’s co-workers at the LHIN. Family and friends will gather on Monday February 4, 2019 from 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. for visitation at Christ’s Church Cathedral (252 James Street North, Hamilton, Ontario). We will gather again on Tuesday February 5, 2019 at 11:00 A.M. for a celebration of Kevin’s life and ministry at Christ’s Church Cathedral. A reception will follow at the Scottish Rite Club (4 Queen Street South, Hamilton, Ontario). A private family internment will take place the next day at Emmanuel Lutheran Cemetery, Beach Road, Sherkston, Ontario. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to “Give Kids the World” (www.gktw.org). Arrangements have been entrusted to Williams Funeral Services Ridgeway, Ontario.
