We all honoured him. We knew that he did a lot of good. Our Rotary Club is certainly not the club we used to be with him gone,\u201d lamented Redwood, who told Huntsville councillors that he considered Kirwin a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirwin was a passionate individual who quietly worked hard behind the scenes to make Huntsville a better place while encouraging others to get involved. You could count on him, and there were very few community projects that he did not have a hand in. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redwood told council that from the moment Kirwin and his wife Debbie moved to the community in 2003, he almost instantly began volunteering. \u201cHe\u2019s just that kind of person.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirwin was a board member with the Huntsville Festival of the Arts (HfA) for several years when he first moved to the community. He served on Huntsville\u2019s economic development committee, and eventually joined the Rotary Club of Huntsville. \u201cFrom the day he joined to the day he died, he was totally involved,\u201d noted Redwood. \u201cThere isn\u2019t a project that you can name where it doesn\u2019t have Ross\u2019s influence on it. He\u2019s the kind of guy that could get things done and get people to cooperate and get people to help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/With-Ross.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-113507\" width=\"562\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/With-Ross-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/With-Ross-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/With-Ross-750x493.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/With-Ross-630x414.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/05\/With-Ross.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><figcaption>Ross Kirwin with Huntsville Doppler contributing news editor Tamara de la Vega at the Pat Benatar concert held as part of the <em>Huntsville<\/em>&nbsp;Girlfriends&#8217; Getaway Weekend in 2013, where Kirwin was volunteering.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Projects he was involved in included Rotary\u2019s DockFest, the club\u2019s annual auction, the HfA&#8217;s May Marche, and Huntsville\u2019s Santa Claus Parade, to name a few. He also volunteered for several sports events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirwin was also fond of the arts and bringing the community together. Creating a bandshell at River Mill Park was one of his dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very few people knew what a labour of love it became and the hours that went into getting that bandshell up. To raise money for the project, Kirwin used his ingenuity and sold donor bricks to raise the funds required to finish the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redwood said the idea is to either put a plaque on the back wall of the bandshell or build an arch above it with Kirwin&#8217;s name on it that could not be easily vandalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said it would be done at no cost to the Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Council unanimously supported the project and many councillors took the time to remember all the volunteering Kirwin had done to make things happen in the community with quiet kindness, stubborn determination, and humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kirwin&#8217;s life will be celebrated at the Active Living Centre on June 11 from 2 to 5 p.m. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be a good day. There&#8217;s going to be a free bar, so if you wanna have a drink on Ross, it&#8217;s an opportunity,&#8221; said Redwood, prompting smiles from council.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He&#8217;ll be missed by many.

That's because I love this community. I love the wide open spaces, ancient rocks, lakes and forests. I also love the buzz of Huntsville's core and, well, the wi-fi. I'm a news and chocolate junkie. Respect integrity, talent, kindness, a good story and the taste of an organic tomatoe. I hope you like this site and don't be shy about pitching me a story.","url":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/author\/tamaradelavega\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
