April 14, 1954 – October 10, 2024
“It’s perfect, but it’ll have to do!"
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Gary – Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to so many.
Gary leaves behind a devoted wife of 50 years (Denise); 2 beautiful daughters (Sunshine and Amber); 6 wonderful grandchildren Dustin & Hunter (Jason),
Baylee & Rylan (Sunshine), Destiny & Sentaya (Amber), and 2 great-grandchildren (Carter and Jaxton).
Gary lived an exciting life filled with many travels and adventures. He was a carpenter, a faller, a guide outfitter, a volunteer for SCWA, a CORE instructor for
BCWF, a Danger Tree assessor/instructor with UNBC; at times a chef and always a tease.
We will miss his dry sense of humor, his commitment to right and wrong and his advice ie; “Stand in the middle of the room with your eyes closed” when you couldn’t find something.
Or “Get up, you’re all right” when you hurt yourself. He is predeceased by his son Jason (2014) and his mother and father, Bernice (2005) and Earl (2015).
Celebration of life to be held in spring/summer of 2025 in Vancouver.
