Kevin Donald "Key" West

The death of Kevin Donald “Key” West occurred Thursday, November 5th, 2020 at his home in Minto. Born in Minto, he was the son of the late Donald and Emma (McNeill) West. Kevin’s love for music began at an early age when he started playing the drums. His most recent drum set is among the many toys that remind us of how he enjoyed spending his time. His time was also spent enjoying the great outdoors. In recent months, Kevin could be found boating on Grand Lake with family. Kevin enjoyed biking, fishing, deer hunting and moose hunting. Having recently gotten a nice moose, Kevin was planning on more time in the woods with friends in the coming weeks in a crow’s nest or in the truck looking for a buck. During the winter, Kevin created some great memories with friends while out on his skidoo. He will be remembered by most for the passion he had with fast cars, nice fast cars, and the countless hours spent in the garage tinkering on a toy or under the hoist of a vehicle he was bound to make better in some way.
