Jost Tielker Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province on May 7, 2016.
Jost Tielker March 27, 1941 - May 3, 2016 We are sad to announce the passing of Jost Tielker. Survived by his loving wife Jane (nee Ross), sons Jason (Jodie), Martin (Carly), Alex (Caitlynn) and granddaughters Sophie, Laura and Lucy, as well as his brothers Helge and Gert and sister Birgit. Born in Trier, Germany, Jost immigrated to Canada in 1969. Throughout his career as an Architect he put his artistic touch on many Vancouver buildings and landmarks. A wonderful artist of both pencil and watercolours he also loved the outdoors, skiing, travelling, photography, magic, tennis, golf, ice cream and most of all, spending time with his family and dear friends. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Parkinson's Society or the North Shore Hospice. A Celebration of Life will be held to remember Jost. Please contact a family member for details. Red shoelaces are encouraged.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I will forever miss your infectious smile and cashmere hugs...

I will miss Uncle Jost deeply. He was the comedian of any gathering. And his "cashmere hugs' were one of my most favourite things. I have fond memories of the magic tricks that mystified me as a child. His absence in our family is felt but knowing he is now at peace and being his mischievous self brings comfort. May he rest in peace (and mischievousness!).

Jost, we will forever fondly remember your warm, if often mischievous, smile. You welcomed me into your wonderful family and I feel so grateful to have had you as my father-in-law, my partner in crime when it came to eating sweets or Cheezies, my favorite artist, and the best Grandad a mother could wish for her children. You are already so missed but we are content knowing that you are finally at peace after your long battle. Prost, my friend, prost. Xoxo

I am so sorry to hear about Jost's passing. Realize that he is now in a place where he is pain free and the happy and loving person he once was. My thoughts a prayers are with you.
