Charly Turcotte 1952 — 2018

Charly Turcotte

Charly Turcotte passed away on July 24th at 65 years of age with his wife and daughters by his side.

He was born in Beardmore Ontario where he was raised with his 9 brothers and 3 sisters. He went to College in Thunder Bay where he met the love of his life Lorraine whose family became his own. They were married for 45 years this summer and are truly best friends and soul mates. He has three children Aley, Kyle, and Yvonne, two son in-laws Scott, and Brian, and 5 grandchildren Presley, Pearson, Peyton, Halle and Emerson who all loved to play with their grandpa.

Charly’s joyous spirit is eternal, he stopped on his journey to meet us, love us, and share his vibrant and positive presence. He enriched everyone’s lives with kindness, laughter and humorous story-telling. He will continue to be with us everyday.

Charly had a sparkle in his eye and loved life, he was always happy and smiling. His positive and giving personality was infectious. He loved to spend time with his family and be outdoors. Hunting with his brothers, son and nephews was very special to him.

We find comfort knowing that he was met in heaven by his son Kyle.

Funeral Mass will be recited on Monday, July 30, 2018 at 11am at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 2573 Tod Mountain Rd, Heffley Creek, BC. Monsignor Jerry Desmond, Celebrant.

    Dear Lorraine and family. I am so sorry for your loss. Charlie was a super person. I have such great memories working with him at the bank, gambling with him, sharing a grand mariner, just so many. May all the wonderful memories you have help you through this difficult time. Love to you all and hopefully time will be the gentle healer.
