us on , February 14, 2002, in Stewiake, as a result of a flying accident.
Born in Port aux Basques, Nfld., and a former resident of St. Andrew's, Nfld., he was the son of Melvin and Debbie (Francis) Hibbs. He was the owner of Olympian Taekwondo Academy in Antigonish. He graduated from Belanger Memorial High School in 1993. He attended the Royal Military College in Quebec for one year and completed his Physics Degree from St. Francis Xavier University in 1996. Melvin's love and devotion was to his wife and family. Flying was his passion until the end. His dedication and commitment to excellence was evident in his students who excelled at Taekwondo. He was a role model for countless young people in the community.
