In addition, Kevin co-founded the Ottawa Valley Music Festival which was a summer-long celebration of classical music from across the Ottawa Valley and which ran for over twenty-five (25) years.

Kevin is survived by his loving wife, Yvette (née Ward) MacDonald, and their three sons: Charles of Washington DC, his wife, Lisa (née Soccol) MacDonald, and their son, Jesse; Ward of Port Williams, Nova Scotia, his wife, Christine (née Frail) MacDonald, and their two daughters, Aria and Aries; and Andrew of Ottawa, his wife, Fariba (née Zamani) MacDonald, his son, Steven, and their daughter, Sara Soulati.
