Barry Kevan

Wylie

'James Young Wylie and Catherine Maude Cook came to Hamilton at a young age from Scotland and after finding love together gave us Barry Kevan Wylie, born September 3rd 1949 (named after Irish rebel Kevan Barry); sadly November 2nd 2026 his adventures came to an end.

Barry lost his mother Catherine at the age of 14, leaving him broken hearted. In the summer of 1969 Barry met Ruth, it was a story of upstairs downstairs, they both lived in the same rooming house, Barry and his father living upstairs, Ruth and her mother lived on the lower level.

In 1977 they married and the following year they had their son James, quickly following was Jennifer in 1981 then Correna in 1982. Barry loved his family deeply and was a great provider, always working his hardest for them.

Jennifer married Anson Martin, and Correna married Andrew Caton, and Barry loved both of the spouses his children took. He was blessed with three amazing grandchildren, Hope and Isaac Caton, and Callum Martin.

Barry was a quiet man, peaceful, caring, helpful and stubborn right until the end!

We are grateful to all the nurses and doctors who helped care for Barry at Juravinski.'
