William Kenneth Jenkins
February 19, 1957 to September 20, 2025

Bill is predeceased by parents Kenneth and Doris Jenkins of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. His brother Peter and family are in Ontario. Bill and Liz’s sons live in Northern Ontario; William (Nangoons) and son Liam, and Matthew (Rebecca). Bill’s daughters Lindsay and Stefanie are long time residents of Alberta.

Bill lived a full life, much of it in St. John’s, where he was a longtime and well-respected group insurance consultant. His love of PEI kept calling him back though where he golfed with many close friends. Golf was one of his favorite pastimes and he was a longtime member of Bally Haly in St. John’s. He also enjoyed casting a line on the Gander River and in Labrador. But curling was his true passion. Bill was a World Junior Curling champion out of PEI and represented Newfoundland and Labrador at the Brier and the national Senior Men’s Curling championships. He shared his knowledge and experience as a skip and a coach to younger curlers. Bill was a proud member of the PEI Sports Hall of Fame and the Governor General’s Curling Club.

Those who knew Bill will remember his zest for life. He had a love and flair for cooking and being invited for dinner was always a treat. He also loved to travel, and he and Liz enjoyed many adventures.

The family extends sincere thanks for the exceptional medical care Bill received, in particular, a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Alysha Mehta and Dr. Angela Hyde. As per Bill’s wishes there will not be a wake or funeral, but a “Celebration of Life” will be held at a later date. Flowers are kindly declined but donations in Bill’s memory may be made to The School Lunch Program.
