MOAB 2009 Yesterday morning many of us in the Australian Wargaming community lost a great friend. Kevin Jowett (of Battleline Scenics) passed away at the still young age of 44 from a heart attack. I had only known Kev for about four years but I would like to say that I got to know him very well and considered him a great friend. He was also well respected by gamers across Australia as a very honest, sincere and all round nice guy. He leaves behind his lovely wife Kris and his two boys, Oliver and James. Mine and many others hearts go out to them.

I know many people feel the same Nathan, Kevin was indeed a good man and a friend and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family.
A beautiful tribute, and great photos.
Thanks Nathan for posting a lovely tribute.
Didn't know Kevin at all, but zi'm sure our wargame community will find it very difficult to fill the void left by Kevin. May Kevin rest in eternal peace.

Still in shock from the terrible news, thanks for a great tribute mate, couldn't of said better.
Kevin will be sorely missed by a lot of people in the wargaming community, his local Volunteer Fire Brigade and most of all by Kris, the kids and his Friends.

Sorry to hear of his passing. Sad to lose someone like him. Respects, Dean
Vale to a nice guy. I met him at MOAB over the last few years and he was always a pleasure to deal with when purchasing from his company. Honest and helpful. My condolences to his family.
Great Tribute Nathan. My sentiments exactly. A top bloke taken from us way to early. He will be sorely missed.
We wish to thank Kevin's many friends. As his mother, in Kevin's early years, I defeated Napoleon many times but I did use a vacuum cleaner. Kevin gave us a trouble free life never causing us any worry. I was always on the lookout for anything Napoleon. I recently found a medalion with Napoleon's head on it. I never got round to giving it to Kevin. We are comforted by the fact, he has gone to join his sister. He leaves behind a sister and brother, plus another void in all our lives that will never be filled.In the photo with his brother is Kevin's son James, not Oliver. Thank you for your kind thoughts and love to all. His Mum and Dad
Rosyj,
Thank you for adding those kind words. Kevin was truely a great guy with a big heart and a want to help others. I caught up with James and Oliver yesterday at Kevins funeral and Oliver and I had a little laugh about how I had mixed up their names. It has been changed now. I intend to call in on Kris and the boys next month on my way down to NSW. Thank you again for the kind words.
Regards
Nathan
