July 5, 1955 - June 4, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Herb Donald Lovell on June 4, 2025, at the age of 69. Born on July 5, 1955, in Vancouver to Jim and Wilma Lovell, Herb lived a life full of laughter, love, and loyalty to the people and passions he held dear. A proud father, cherished grandfather, beloved brother, favourite uncle and friend. Herb’s presence filled every room with warmth and wit. He leaves behind his wife Lorna, children Jody (Jamie), Dan, and Greg, and grandchildren Layla, Reagan, Mason, Paityn, and Nova, as well as great grandchildren Avanna and Roland. He also leaves behind Carling, the mother of his grandsons.

Herb is survived by his siblings Linda, Dave (Sharon), Irene, Larry, and George (Giselle), and is predeceased by his brother-in-law Bill. His memory will also live on in the many nieces, nephews, and extended family members who knew him as a gentle and generous man.

Herb had a deep love for the outdoors — especially fishing and camping — and was a loyal fan of the B.C. Lions. Whether telling stories around a campfire or cheering from the stands, he lived with authenticity, humour, and heart. A private celebration of life will be held by the family. I

n lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honour Herb by casting a line, taking a drive into nature, or watching a Lions game — just as he would have loved.

Forever loved and always remembered.
