| 2024-06-27 | VACHON, Germain Joseph |  | Germain Joseph Vachon, age 72, of Chilliwack, British Columbia passed away on Thursday, June 27, 2024.
Born December 8, 1951 in Ottawa, ON and passed away peacefully on June 27, 2024 in Chilliwack, BC. Predeceased by his parents, Denise and Marcel Vachon
and brother Don Vachon and beloved dog, Boo. Dearly missed by his wife of 42 years, Darlene and his two daughters, Jennifer (Gregory) and Bre as well by his
three grandchildren, Lucy, Sierra and Brody, numerous nieces and nephews as well as other family and dear friends too numerous to mention.
Gerry was always the most positive person and his family meant everything to him. He had a larger than life personality and showed it every day. He always
had time for everyone, especially his grandchildren, and was constantly making everyone laugh whether it was by being a practical joker or getting up on stage
to show off his dance moves.
Gerry was also a sports fanatic his whole life. Whether it be as a player or coaching his daughters, Gerry was always involved. One of his proudest moments was
being part of a team that played in Little League World Series. Gerry was often the star hitter hitting grand slams in multiple games helping his team qualify.
He believed sports should be fun first but also competitive and he was often everyone’s favourite coach. In his later years, he spent a lot of his free time
on the golf course and devoted his time to his grandchildren’s endeavors. He was even lucky enough to get a hole in one. Darlene and Gerry were also avid
lawn bowlers, competing and winning a Pairs Provincial title together.
A Funeral Mass will take place on Thursday, August 15, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 8909 Mary St., Chilliwack, BC.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Terry Fox Foundation in Gerry’s name would be greatly appreciated. |
| 2024-04-20 | FRASER, Douglas S. |  | Douglas "Doug" Fraser passed away with love in his heart on April 20th, 2024 at the age
of 85. He spent his last days surrounded by his adoring family.
Doug was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan to Marjorie & Robert Fraser on June 10th,
1938. He spent his life as a man of integrity who touched the lives of those with the
privilege of meeting him. He will be remembered for his expressive storytelling, quick wit,
and hearty laugh.
Doug worked at the Burrard Drydock shipyards (among other locations across North
America) in 1954-1996 as a loftsman, dutifully fabricating ships. Following that he
worked as custodial staff for NVSD until his retirement in 1998. Beyond his work, Doug
lovingly designed and visited "Paradise" regularly and Scottsdale, Arizona. He also
enjoyed cruises of a lifetime and square dancing with his wife. He was an avid bowler
(regular & lawn) and found joy in the companions he made through it.
Doug's eternal light will be carried on by his beloved wife Diane whom he spent his
days making smile. She will be reminded of her love's warmth and heart everyday. He is
also lived on by his children with his former spouse (Joanne); Randy, Rodger, Douglas, &
Caroline. As well as his step-children Gregg and Gayle. Each saw him as a guiding light
that imparted wisdom in their lives. Doug sowed the seeds of his legacy within his
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They always listened intently to his tales and
treasured their time with him. Finally, Doug is survived by his siblings Don and Margaret
who's memories of him will never fade. As he brought such a brilliant light and joy to
their childhood and beyond.
Doug will be deeply missed but memorialized forever in our hearts. May he rest in peace
with his loyal companion Dusty by his side. |
