a proud member of the Canadian Armed Forces for six years. He then
started his career in truck driving and most recently had been working
with Scotsburn Dairy. Kevin was an avid fan of all sports,

his family's sporting activities. He is survived by his daughter,
Megan and his son, Devin, both of Lower Sackville; a sister, Kim
(Charles) Purcell, Bedford; a brother, Matthew (Stephanie), Hampton.

OUR SYMPATHY TO THE O'NEIL FAMILY. VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

Please accept my condolences on your loss.
I found comfort in the hope the Bible offers for our loved ones at Psalms 37:29 which says, "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."
We are assuresd by God in His Word the Bible, that after the earth is cleansed of current troubled conditions, it will be restored to a paradise like the Garden of Eden as He originally purposed. Then our loved ones can return to life (by resurrection) on earth in good health.(Isaiah 33:24)
Then there will be no more sorrow or pain as we are promised at Revelation 21:4. It reads, "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
I hope these words will bring you a measure of solace in your time of loss.
