It's been awhile since I've posted due to the nature of my new job. But, I felt the need to pass along some thoughts of an amazing guy we all know, or had a cursory knowledge of, Kenny "aka Pronstar" Quinn.
I met Kenny back in 2001 at various events and house parties. The guy was always smiling, full of humour, knowledge of gadgets and technology. Including some of the craziest hair I've come across.
Above all else, he was positive, and loved to take a piss out of me with his sarcastic humour, which I enjoyed. That I also paid back with the odd workout. Note, he always did try and keep up.
I've run into him now and then in the downtown core. Less now that I'm married and have a son. Leaves little time for other activities. But, when I saw him the core, we always tried to connect, and make plans. I wish we actually did follow through. Sadly more often then not we didn't. Life happens, we all get busy.
I visited him yesterday at TGH, and spoke to his parents. Im sure there will be more updates via FB on his health going forward. But from his parents, he doesnt have much time. I did get to speak with him a little as he faded in and out. He did smile and say "mongo". The guy has spunk!
Life is precious my friends. Kenny was one of the greats, I can say while typing this he will be missed, and he certainly enriched my life for the time I got to know him, and chat.
