After battling cancer with the utmost resilience and bravery, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ken "Tin Man" Kinney on the morning of June 7th, 2019. A talented athlete with a competitive spirit, he fought until the very end with his family by his side.
He leaves behind his wife of 28 years, Debbie and their three daughters Nicole, Kirsten and Kaitlyn. He is survived by his sister Charlene, brother Christopher and predeceased by his parents Charles and Diane.
Senior Captain Ken Kinney was a proud member of the Burnaby Fire Department for 28 years and will be greatly missed by his second family. Known for his quick wit, nickname assignments and a work ethic that was second to none, he truly was one of a kind and our lives won't be the same without him.
A celebration of life will be held on Tuesday June 25th at 10:00 am at the Willingdon Church located at 4812 Willingdon Ave, Burnaby, BC with a reception to follow at the Burnaby Fire Fighters club. In lieu of flowers the family asks that a donation be made in Ken's name to the Burnaby Fire Fighters Charitable Society.
