In Loving Memory of Gordon Edgeworth, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 4, 2024, surrounded by his loving family after a nearly 2-year battle with Cancer at the age of 64. Gordon leaves behind a legacy of compassion, kindness, and service that will be cherished by all who knew him.

Gordon was born and lived in Kamloops, B.C., his whole life. He dedicated over two decades of his life as a social worker, tirelessly working with, listening to, and advocating for marginalized communities. His commitment to helping others and his unwavering empathy touched countless lives. Family often referred to him as “Papa G”, and his coworkers affectionately nicknamed him “Human Ativan”, reflecting his calming presence and compassionate nature.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Gordon lived life to the fullest, embracing his passions with enthusiasm and joy. Whether he was exploring the open road on his motorbike, navigating the tranquil waters while sailing, perfecting the art of sourdough bread making, or finding solace in the beauty of Adams Lake, Gordon’s zest for life was infectious.

Gordon’s greatest joy came from his family. He was a devoted husband to Debra, a cherished father to Kristin (Troy) Strand and David (Kamila) Edgeworth, and a doting grandfather to Taylor and Kolton Strand. He found immense happiness in spending time with them, nurturing their spirits with his boundless love and wisdom.

Gordon was a beloved brother to Ron (Brenda) Edgeworth, Darrell (Cheryl) Edgeworth, Mike (Roberta) Edgeworth, and Brian Edgeworth. Their bond was unbreakable, and Gordon’s presence will be deeply missed by each of them. Gordon also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, his lifelong best friend Terry, numerous friends, and colleagues.

Gordon is reunited in eternal peace with his beloved parents, Bert and Irene Edgeworth, whom he held dear in his heart. Also reunited with Gordon are his loyal companions, Norton, Joey, and Barney, his favorite dogs who provided him with unwavering companionship and comfort over the years.

Special thanks are extended to Dr. Farrin, Kamloops Hospice staff, and D’Angelo and the rest of the home care nurse team, for their exceptional care and support during Gordon’s final days.

Gordon’s spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of love, kindness, and compassion will forever inspire us to make the world a better place, just as he did every day of his remarkable life.

Sarwan Dhillon, a beloved father, grandfather, and respected member of the Sikh community in Kamloops BC, peacefully departed this world on March 19, 2024, at the age of 88. His passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him.

Born on September 24, 1935, in Pandori Ladha Singh, India, Sarwan was the son of hardworking parents who instilled in him the values of resilience and determination. In pursuit of better opportunities, he immigrated to Canada in his early twenties in 1957, carrying with him dreams of a brighter future.

Upon arriving in Canada, Sarwan found employment at a local sawmill, where he dedicated himself to his work in the hopes of a better future for his family. He was a devoted husband to his late wife, Harbans, and a loving father to his children, Jesse & Balbir.

In addition to his dedication to his family, Sarwan was deeply involved in the Sikh Temple in Kamloops BC. He volunteered considerably, dedicating countless hours to cleaning and maintaining the temple grounds. He found joy in walking to the temple and exercising regularly, embracing the tranquility of these activities. His boundless generosity and unwavering willingness to assist those in need left an undeniable mark on all who knew him.

Sarwan’s life was a testament to the power of hard work, resilience, and compassion. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him, and his spirit will continue to inspire future generations.

Sarwan is survived by his children, Jesse (Narinder) & Balbir (Jasminder); his grandchildren (Robby, Jenna, Sukhi, Jason, Aj); and a host of extended family and friends who will miss him dearly.

A funeral service in memory of Sarwan Dhillon will be held at Kamloops Funeral Home on Sunday, March 24th at 1:30pm. Rest in peace.

Your light will shine on forever in our hearts.
