B.C. Lions equipment manager Ken Kasuya remembered as ‘treasured friend’
VANCOUVER — Longtime B.C. Lions equipment manager Ken (Kato) Kasuya is being remembered as a tireless worker and valued friend.
The CFL team released a statement on Wednesday saying it was “deeply saddened” to report that Kasuya had died. The cause of the 53-year-old’s death has not been disclosed.
Kasuya spent more than four decades with the Lions, starting out as a volunteer water boy in his teens.
He was hired as an assistant equipment manager in 1984 and moved up to the equipment manager role a decade later.
