Vale Kevin Wilson

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of long-serving delegate and much-respected comrade, Kevin Wilson.

Kevin’s sudden and unexpected passing has left many in shock. Over his 38-year career in the railways, Kevin was a constant presence in the fight for fairness and respect in the workplace. Beginning his journey at Enfield before moving to Central, Kevin quickly became an active union voice before finding his long-term union home at Blacktown.

At Blacktown, Kevin continued to serve the membership with unwavering commitment, holding the positions of President, Secretary/Depot Organiser, and Delegate to ETDC. He was instrumental in countless discussions on diagrams, rosters, and local consultation matters, always working to secure the best outcomes for his fellow members.

Kevin was known for his blunt honesty, sharp wit, and a unique personality that earned him both respect and affection. Beneath an often-grumpy exterior was a deeply caring man, who never sought the spotlight but always stood up when it mattered most.

Kevin leaves behind a legacy of dedication, integrity, and decades of service to Loco Division members. He will be missed by many – his mates, colleagues, and comrades alike. Our movement is poorer for his loss, but richer for having had him among us.
