I was informed last night by my parents that a relative in Toronto had died in a motorcycle accident on Wednesday. Kevin Mitchell was married to the daughter of my aunt.
I had only meet Kevin once or twice and strangely enough we were hoping to visit with him and his family when we go out to Toronto this August.
There is little to no detials on what exactly happened. Apparantly he was only about 5 minutes away from home too.
Brampton man dies following motorcycle crash

A Brampton resident has died following a motorcycle accident, and Peel regional police are asking for witnesses.
On Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., Kevin Mitchell had been driving an orange Honda 2008 motorcycle, travelling eastbound on Sandalwood Parkway west of Kennedy Road.
"As a result of circumstances that are still under investigation, Mr. Mitchell's motorcycle left the roadway and mounted the curb briefly, before returning to the roadway. The motorcycle then collided with an eastbound white 2002 Cadillac Escalade SUV," Peel police said Thursday in a news release.
The 46-year-old was taken to hospital, but died of his injuries.
Police want to speak with anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have seen Mitchell in the minutes before the collision.
People can contact officers of the Major Collision Bureau at (905) 453-2121, ext 3710. Information can also be left anonymously by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or by visiting their website at Peel Crime Stoppers.
He leaves behind a wife and two girls. Now our visit will take on a much different tone. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family.
"Let's all kiss our loved ones when we get home, and tell them we love them before we leave. Ride safe as you can."
