It is with profound sadness the family announces the unexpected passing of Dr. Jeff Kubinec at the age of 63.
Jeff was born in Fort William, Ontario on November 21, 1957. Growing up, he took part in many local sports including hockey, and baseball. He had the pleasure of coaching, as well as being a player. He also spent many hours refereeing hockey with his dad, John.
Jeff attended local schools, graduating top of his class from Churchill Highschool. He then went on to attend the University of Guelph, graduating in 1983 with a degree in Veterinary Medicine. He returned to Thunder Bay and began practising at local veterinary hospitals. He later went on to establish his own practise, culminating in his life long dream of building his own facility, the Thunder Bay Veterinary Hospital. He was also supportive of many local pet charities, establishing Darcy’s Pet Charity Leash-a-thon which raised thousands of dollars.
