The family of Douglas Howard Wilson is heartbroken to announce his passing at Kamloops Hospice on August 8, 2017.  While we mourn his loss, we are so thankful that Doug is no longer suffering.  Since 1998 he has battled his way through six different cancers with unbelievable tenacity and put up the bravest of fights, always remaining cheerful and positive.  He was our true hero.

Doug leaves behind his loving and devoted wife Bev, son Keith (Samantha), daughter Terri Anne (Nicholas) and son Ryan (Joanna).  Left with wonderful memories of Grandpa are the grandchildren he loved so much, Reece and Ryland (Keith and Sam) and Ella Mae (Ryan and Jo).  Also missing him will be his brother Ken (Donna) and Bev’s sister Yvonne (Bill) and a host of nieces and nephews and dear friends.

Doug worked at CP Rail for 39 years and finished off his time there as Chief Clerk.  He had many passions in life – one of them being film.  This love began at an early age in North Bend where he grew up and was involved in organizing the showing of films at the North Bend hall.  He served on the Board of the Kamloops Film Society for many years and immensely enjoyed being involved in the selection of the films to be shown.  He rarely missed attending the Film Society movies.

He was passionate about photography and would spend many hours searching for the perfect shot.  He took some amazing photos in his lifetime – many of them now gracing the walls of family and friends’ homes.

Doug was a proud member of the Knights of Pythias for many years holding several offices, one of them being Grand Chancellor for the domain of British Columbia.  Through the Knights, he made many lifelong friendships and travelled throughout Canada and the US attending Supreme Lodge conventions.Read More & Leave Condolences »
