Remembering Kristin, a beautiful person inside and out. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. With love from The Ulrich family
Kristin and I worked at TUV America for many years together. We would meet @ The Bru House Friday mornings for our White Raspberry White Mocha’s Iced to chat about anything and everything. We were even lucky enough to travel together for work and a pleasure trip to the Bahama’s with a few other girlfriends. My heart goes out to the Fountain family, she will truly be missed.

I worked with Kristin at Medtronic. I can truly say she was one of the people who was a very positive part of my experience. She will be very missed. Our thoughts are with you all. Blessings from The Phillips Family
Even though I only join MDT for over 1 year, But it`s really a great honour to working with Kristin. I worked with Kristin for 3830MRI project for China. Even though is a very short time, I can truly say she was one of the people who was a very positive, kindly part of my experience. Kristin not only was a great partner but also a great leader! I can`t image how we work without her. My thoughts are with you all. R.I.P. for Kristin.
We came to know the Fountains through the friendship of our sons and their love of alpine skiing. Kristin certainly lived life to the fullest and was so fun to be around. Her priorities in life were focused on the right things and her energy and positivity were infectious. Our sincerest condolences to Jason. Riley, Bree and your extended families. The Full’s
Kristin was in my lean in circle at Medtronic. She always had such a happy smile and warm hello whenever I saw her in the hallway. So sorry for your families loss. Ann Marsh
Kristin and I worked together at TUV America for several years. We were pregnant with our first babies at the same time. We spent a lot of time discussing and laughing until we were crying about pregnancy “issues” and a TV show we both watched about births. She had such a positive presence. Kristin and Jason were such a great couple and we enjoyed hanging out together at the Christmas parties. I am in shock and deeply saddened by Kristin’s passing. My heart goes out to Jason and their children over this tremendous loss to their family. Praying for all of you. –Sandy Downs
I have known Kristin for close to 20 years. She and I have traveled the world together from places in the US, Canada and Europe. She has been an amazing colleague and friend. We have shared many stories and often looked to each other for advice both professionally and as mothers raising children of similar age. We always had a good laugh in almost all of our interactions, she always made it easy to smile. She loved shopping as much as myself and we shared a mutual interest in finding the latest fashion, especially accessories and purses. She is the one I was with the first time I tried Poutine and have loved it ever since! I will miss her dearly. There are no words that can express the sympathy I have for the entire family, all of the co-workers and friends that are left behind. She was truly one of the greatest women I have ever had the pleasure to surround myself with. #neverforget Shelley Lillie
