Kevin Patrick Maloney of Niagara Falls, Ontario, has passed away peacefully at Welland Hospital on October 4, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Known affectionately as “Big Kevin” through his connection with Niagara Battery & Tire, he was remembered by those closest to him not only for his work, but for the warmth, humor, generosity and love he brought into the lives of the people around him.
For Kevin’s family, his passing represents the loss of a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was a loving husband to Bonnie, his wife and best friend, and a proud father to Keith, Patrick, Amanda, Mike and Tammy. His eight grandchildren—Melody, Anna, Dahlia, Peyton, Bryce, Niya, Henley and Shea—were also an important part of his life, and the memories they shared with him will remain a lasting part of his legacy.
Kevin was known for having a big heart and a personality that made him difficult to forget. He enjoyed spending time with his family, being outdoors with his dogs, fishing, watching sports and playing cards. Those simple moments of togetherness were among the things that brought him happiness, and they are now the memories his loved ones will hold close as they navigate life without him.
People who knew Kevin will remember the laughter and stories he shared, as well as the way he made others feel welcome. His presence was meaningful to his family, friends and the wider Niagara Falls community, and his absence will be deeply felt by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Although the pain of losing Kevin is profound, his family can take comfort in the many years of memories he leaves behind. Every story, family gathering, shared laugh and lesson becomes part of the legacy of a man who gave so much of himself to the people he loved.
Kevin Maloney will be deeply missed, forever loved and never forgotten. His life touched many people, and his memory will continue through his wife, children, grandchildren, relatives and friends. As those closest to him mourn, they will also carry forward the love, laughter and memories that made Kevin such a cherished part of their lives.
