It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Makenzie “Kenzie” Kilgour, who passed away tragically on Friday, October 2, 2026, at the age of 21.

Kenzie was an only child and the beloved daughter of Alicia “Eva” Subnaik Kilgour and David “Tom” Kilgour. Her beloved spouse Thomas Selwyn who she loved with all her heart and was the love of her life. In her last Valentine’s Day letter she handwrote him, she wrote “There truly isn’t another person in this galaxy… no… the Universe that I could ever love more than I Love you, Thomas.” He will be eternally grateful to have even met her, getting luckier than winning the lottery with her. He loved her with his whole heart, body and soul. They shared a huge love of motorcycles.

Cherished granddaughter of Rambaran Subnaik and a treasured niece of Ria and Kyle MacDonald. She was loved by all her other Aunts, Uncles, cousins and extended family.

Kenzie was a student at Carleton University studying Biology and she wanted to join the military as a medical officer. She envisioned becoming a military couple with her Thomas one day. She leaves behind a circle of family and friends who will forever carry her memory in their hearts, including her friends from youth and her tightknit family of friends she made in Ottawa, who were the most  loving and supportive.

Kenzie was also a dedicated lifeguard and swim instructor who took great pride in helping others stay safe around the water. She loved teaching water safety, sharing her knowledge and skills with others and helping families, and children (especially with special needs), develop confidence and respect for the water. Her caring nature, sense of responsibility, and willingness to help others were qualities that made her so special to many.

Though her life was far too short, she brought love, kindness, laughter, and warmth to all those around her. The memories of her beautiful spirit and the difference she made in the lives of others will remain with her family and friends forever.

  1. I didn’t know Kenzie very well, but the few times we did see each other, she was always kind and fun to be around. Rest in peace 🕊️

  2. My heartfelt condolences to Alicia, David, Thomas, and the rest of Kenzie’s family and friends. Kenzie was a beloved friend of my daughter, Mary. I had the pleasure of meeting Kenzie several times while visiting Mary at residence at Carleton University and later at the house they shared on Willard Street. Kenzie always had a kind, gentle manner and a beautiful smile. It brought me great comfort to know that Mary had such a wonderful friend, and I will always remember Kenzie fondly.

  3. We will miss you, Kenzie! Thank you for being a wonderful friend to my son, Jaedon, and huge part of his life, and ours.

  4. Sylveria and Boyee were so happy having you in their life sweet Kenzie.
    God keeps his chosen ones together, she told me. ‘He is merciful and his love is steadfast’ so pray together 🙏 always.
    Sorry you have lost your baby girl Eva & Tom. We are with your spirit 😔,
    Love Sandy & family

  5. Thinking of you Kenzie, a golden light wherever she went.

  6. Kenzie was the kindest person I knew. She had the ability to lift anyone up and was always a warm welcoming person to anyone around her. Even on bad days, she always had more to give to support her friends. I am so grateful to have gotten to know her. We lost her way too soon, but her kindness will never leave me. We miss you Kenzie. My sincere condolences to her family, closest friends, and Thomas who she lived with. Life will be harder without the beautiful soul that was Kenzie, without her comforting hugs, but she will always stay important in our lives. We will see her in every beautiful thing, hear her in every laughter and never forget the light she brought into our lives.

  7. Makenzie was born when Tom & Alicia lived in Wasaga Beach. She was a beautiful baby & child who grew up to be a beautiful woman. Her passing has been a great shock to us and left a lot of sadness. Words at this time are difficult to find that express all the sadness that Makenzie’s passing has created. We wish Tom, Alicia and families sincere condolences, strength and fortitude now and in the future.

  8. Kenzie was my canmate (one of the people I shared a bathroom with) in first year at Carleton. She was always the most friendly, caring, and kind person in the room. I am so sad to hear about her unfair passing. My deepest condolences to her friends and family. She is so missed and will never be forgotten❤️‍🩹

  9. I have known Kenzie for a couple of years now from her time as a lifeguard. We spoke multiple times a day when she worked as my dog loved her and she loved my dog! I was gutted to hear of her passing. I am so very sorry to her family and friends. I hope you find comfort knowing she touched so many peoples lives in the smallest ways. We will always remember her beaming smile and just how caring she was.
    Walking by the pool has so many different feelings now. We will miss her very much.

  10. To Kenzie’s family, friends, and Thomas: my thoughts and heart are with you all as you grieve and move through the coming days, weeks, and beyond. I am profoundly sorry for your loss.

    Truly sorry for your loss and the incredibly tragic passing of Mackenzie. I sincerely hope you will find healing in time.

  12. Absolutely devastated by this loss and I am so sorry to all her family and friends, she was one of my only friends when I had moved across the country to live in Ottawa and had no one. She was one of the coolest people I have ever met and had a uniquely adventurous spirit and positivity about her that I will remember forever.

  13. Kenzie was part of the Ravens women’s water polo team. In my opinion as her coach she exemplified everything needed to be an amazing teammate. She was so kind, driven and alway had a positive attitude along with a contagious smile. We as a team will miss her immensely. Sending our thoughts and prayers to her family and partner during this difficult time.

  14. Tom & Eva…still remembering your adorable little girl learning how to swim & ganging up with the other little girls to bug Koen in Hatteras so many years ago. Wonderful memories and so many more that you will cherish. The 3 of us send Love Condolences and Strength xx

  15. I had the pleasure of coaching Kenzie in her first year playing water polo at Carleton. She was a light and always so positive. My heart goes out to her family, friends, and partner.

  25. I really never knew Kenzie but her father spoke of the punk ( nickname)
    almost daily. I felt like I knew her. Tom shared about the great times they had when they lived up north, and their sailing stories. He was always remarked how he felt she lived on ramen and popcorn while reading her books.
    My heart breaks for you Tom, Alicia and Thomas.
    God bless you. My prayers are with you.

  26. Why viewers still make use of to read news papers when in this
