Honouring Bob McKillop: A Pillar of the Kitchener Minor Baseball Community

The Kitchener Minor Baseball Association extends its condolences to the family of Bob McKillop who passed away on Saturday, August 16, 2025 at the age of 83.
Bob served over 30 years with KMBA as President, coach, administrator and mentor. His many contributions and outstanding leadership skills helped built KMBA into a great organization. Even after retiring, he still served on with various project committees, such as the Breithaupt Batting Cage project.
Bob was an excellent speaker who always had a story to tell. He could always be counted on to speak at any of our events and always had a captive audience. His many words of wisdom and commitment to volunteering were an inspiration to all who knew him.
In addition to his work with KMBA, Bob also served as a Baseball Administrator with the InterCounty Baseball Association and the Premiere Baseball League of Ontario, Administrator and Executive Director of the Ontario Baseball Association.
Bob received numerous awards, including being inducted into the University of Waterloo Sports Hall of Fame, the Waterloo Region Sports Hall of Fame and Ontario Baseball Association Hall of Fame. He was honoured with the Kitchener Sports Association Award of Excellence.
Bob passed away five months after his wife, Marg, who he had been married to for 60 years.
He is survived by his son Bobby and daughter Barbara, three grandchildren Taylor, Jayne and Kaylee and one great-granddaughter, Amelia.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the McKillop family.
