Kalvin Knibbs, beloved husband of Yvonne, of Calgary, AB, passed away on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 at the age of 51 years.
Kalvin loved sports, sports and more sports. He loved playing hockey from a very young age all the way through to the WHL. He enjoyed watching a variety of sports, mainly hockey – especially his favorite team the New York Rangers. He was a volunteer with the Calgary Minor Hockey Association for a number of years where he developed many new friendships. He was always so proud and loved watching Colby and Bret play all of the sports they took part in. Kalvin will be most remembered for his willingness to always help family and friends and for taking the time to teach others various skills such as using tools, fixing cars and anything sports related.
Kalvin leaves his loving wife Yvonne, daughter Colby and son Bret; brothers, Robin (Connie) and Carey (Helga); as well as a long list of in-laws, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.
