The Honourable Steve Crocker, Minister of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation, is sharing his condolences following the passing of Kevin Lewis.

“I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Kevin Lewis.

An inspiration to young artists, Kevin was an educator and mentor to students in his Theatre Arts classes, helping them achieve their goals.

He was also a well-known performer and director who graced our province’s stages from St. John’s to Ferryland to the West Coast and into Labrador, portraying unforgettable characters on stage and screen in such productions as The Boys of St. Vincent, Random Passage and The Grand Seduction.

Honoured just last year as the recipient of the 2023 ACTRA NL Award of Excellence, Kevin will be remembered by artists and former students, and the wider arts community, as a person who faced life’s challenges with humour and grace.

On behalf of our province, I extend my deepest condolences to his family, his friends and his colleagues in the arts community. His legacy will live on through all those whose dreams he help to shape.”
