STRADLING, Kevin Patrick Stradling
STRADLING, Kevin Patrick Stradling - It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Kevin Patrick Stradling, who left this world unexpectedly on July 28th, 2024, at the age of 50.
He was born in Scarborough, Ontario, on July 9th, 1974, to his mother, Dianne Stradling, and Father Charles Stradling Senior. Kevin passed away peacefully in his sleep due to natural causes. He will be forever
remembered by his five children: Matthew (Bekii), Madisyn, Kaleah, Kieran, and Rylan.
Kevin’s journey through life was marked by significant milestones and achievements.
He shared an unbreakable bond with Michelle Stradling, to whom he was married on August 7th, 1999. Though separated, they remained married due to the simple fact that neither were willing to pay for the divorce; they were stubborn like that. He would then be blessed with the arrival of two adventurous and kind sons with whom he shared with Naomi Jackson.
Kevin’s educational path saw him attending Trenton High School, Durham Continuing Education, and Trillium College. Trillium is where Kevin would begin to define his career. He dedicated seven years of his life as a child and youth worker where he would make a major difference in the lives of those he cared for and those with whom he worked. This commitment to helping others continued when he took on the role of supervisor at Collaborative Community Connections.
Kevin’s hobbies and interests painted a picture of a man who loved deeply and lived passionately. As many of you will know, Kevin found joy in cooking and baking and would often offer to bake a cake or make a dessert
for those he cared about.
Kevin, as quoted by his son Matthew, was a ‘Certified Gamer’ and also an avid fan of WWE and would never pass up a smackdown. He was also a major fan of Halloween and horror, enjoying many seasonal trips to Spirit
Halloween with daughter Madisyn and frequent visits to Deadly Grounds with his children for their horror-themed coffee. The movies that you could count on Kevin to talk your ear off about for hours were The Crow, Halloween (the originals), Friday the 13th, and Gremlins.
If he wasn’t working, Kevin could be found spending the majority of his time with his beloved children. Whether it was climbing rocks they shouldn’t at the lake, being spun far too fast at the blue park, or smashing open rocks at the dog park.
Kevin’s personality was a colourful tapestry of characteristics that endeared him to all that knew him. He was known for his knack for debate and his unwillingness to lose at an argument. Kevin was the ‘Debate King’ who could hold his own in any discussion, even if he was wrong. He could be loud, stubborn, and grumpy, but his loving and kind nature always shone through.
Kevin’s Celebration of Life will be held on August 10th, 2024. Those who are interested can drop by between 1 and 5 pm. at The Legion on 471 Simcoe St., South Oshawa, Ontario. We invite all who knew and loved him to join us as we honour his memory and share stories of the laughter he brought into our lives.
Arrangments with ARMSTRONG FUNERAL HOME .
Kevin’s life was a testament to the importance of family, the value of humour, and the impact one person can have on the world. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. May his soul rest in peace, and may he only argue with us in our dreams, where we may stand a chance
