Obituary of Kevin Lovelace
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Kevin Lovelace on March 7, 2026. He was 62 years of age.
Kevin was predeceased by his mother Joan Lovelace and Father Floyd Lovelace, his brother Neil Lovelace, his brother Lawrence “Larry” Lovelace and infant son Tyler Lovelace.
He is survived by his loving wife Lisa Lovelace, Son Trent (Crystal) Lovelace and their children Hudson, Hayden, and Aliza; daughter Jenna Birchard and her 4 daughters Zoey, Aubrey, Macy, and Callie; and youngest daughter Jaylynn(Bryan) Fiala. He is also survived by his siblings Juanita (John) Duncan, Gerald (Dione) Lovelace, and Rosalee Lovelace, and many nieces and nephews.
Kevin was born on Sept 21,1963 in Oxbow and grew up south of Glen Ewen until his parents sold the farm and moved into Glen Ewen when he was 9. Kevin began his long career in the oil and gas industry at the young age of 17 when he moved to Alberta with the love of his life who he married on April 23, 1983, in Oxbow. They returned to Saskatchewan in 1985, when Kevin was promoted to tool pusher on a service rig near Estevan and Weyburn before moving to Pilot Butte in 1987 when he began steamfitting-pipefitting and welding in which he eventually held a Journeyman certificate for both trades. In 1993 Kevin and Lisa purchased an acreage east of Melville where they enjoyed raising their 3 children who they taught to raise many various farm animals and allowed them fun driving tractors, go-carts, snowmobiles and riding horses among other great life experiences. Kevin began his business K&L mobile welding in 1997 running his welding rig as a B pressure pipe welder and than carried on the business in 2015 as a certified welding Inspector among many other roles inspecting and project managing. His work took him throughout Saskatchewan, Alberta, and even into BC.
Kevin always strived for excellence and was a very high achiever in all his many hobbies, tasks and work. He was a mentor to many that worked with him and always made friends wherever he went. He worked very hard all his life, making sacrifices, and just wanted the best for his family. His grandchildren meant the world to him, he took great joy in spoiling them, always happy to spend his time and money to see them smile. He created countless cherished memories for his children and grandchildren-riding horses, driving go-carts, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, fishing, hunting, shooting, spending time at the lake boating or gathered around the campfire.
A Celebration of Life was held on Friday, March 20, 2026, from the River Christian Centre.
Interment and final resting will be at a later date in Glen Ewen Cemetery.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Bailey's Funeral Home and Cremation Care, Melville.
