Kevin will be lovingly remembered by his wife Tanis, of 29 years of marriage; devoted daughters Kirstie and Katie; sisters Cheryl (Cliff) Hagen, Tammi (Donnie) Foster, Norine (Kyle) Vogt; brother Rob (Jody) Carter; mother-in-law Steinunn Einarson; sisters-in-law Shirlee (Kris) Anderson, Dolores (Danny) Zinter, Cindy Einarson; brothers-in-law David (Carol) Einarson, Danny (Tammy) Einarson; uncle Morris (Edith) Carter; aunt Allison (Lloyd) MacAulay, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Stewart and Elizabeth Carter; father-in-law Stefan Einarson; grandparents Jack and Lillian Carter, and Elwyn and Elizabeth Clark. On May 30, 1958 Kevin was born in Selkirk, MB. He spent his early years in Petersfield, MB, attending school in Teulon. When Kevin was 14, the family moved to Off Lake, ON, and attended Fort Frances High School. In 1982, Kevin made his way to Winnipeg where he enrolled in Red River College achieving his welding degree, before starting his lifelong career with Canadian National Railway, where he was an active union leader. Kevin married the love of his life, Tanis Einarson on September 8, 1984. They had two daughters Kirstie and Katie. He had many passions. Kevin had a vast knowledge of dogs but had a true love for boxers. He got his first boxer in 1985, which led to a long lived hobby of raising and showing dogs, while helping found The Manitoba Boxer Club and acting as treasurer for several years. Many of his other passions included: traveling, music, fishing, hunting, gardening, and spending time outdoors, but family was always the most important thing to Kevin. His dream was to retire with his family on Vancouver Island. Kevin was a very kind and generous person, always thinking of others before himself. He made many friends throughout his life, and they were all very special to him. Kevin was overwhelmed with all the love and support he received during his last few months. A Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. in The Royal Canadian Legion, Dieppe Room, 3600 De Vries Avenue.

So very sorry to learn of Kevin's passing. We met Kevin through mutual dog friends as we shared a passion for our boxers. It was so great to chat with Kevin at the MCA dog show. May he rest in peace ... Am sure he is playing with his boxers at the Rainbow Bridge. - Posted by: Dave and Patti Gilmour (Fellow boxer breeders) on: Mar 02, 2014

Tanis and I met kevin in the early 80s. It wasn't long before he married my sister. He was always such a good guy to everyone he knew. His love and vast knowledge of music was always an interesting discussion. He introduced me to music I never thought I would listen to. Every time He would get a new cd He would burn me a copy. Later on in life when the girls came he was always so proud of them. I always got a laugh when he teased them. He loved his wife, children, and his boxers. As we were no angels, I am sure he is with them now. (old blues angels). Miss you brother. - Posted by: Danny (Brother in law) on: Jan 26, 2014
