Wes C. Ferguson

August 26, 1948 - July 22, 2018

It is with sad hearts that we share the news that our dear brother passed away suddenly in Chilliwack, BC, at the age of 69. Wes was born in Berwyn, Alberta to Thelma & Arnold Ferguson (both now deceased). Most of his childhood was spent on a farm near Bonanza, Alberta, and in or near Dawson Creek, BC. At a young age Wes had his own farm near Bonanza, but his sense of adventure led him on to other challenges, from Alaska to Australia. Wes met his wife, Betty Schilds, in Dawson Creek, eventually moving to Merritt in 1985. He spent a couple of recent years in Vancouver then moved Chilliwack. He will be missed by his five siblings, Lynn, Lyle, Lee, Marlene & Keith, their spouses, Aunt Norma, many cousins, nieces, nephews, and numerous friends. Wes always had a laugh or a witty joke, the knack to fix anything mechanical, operate heavy construction equipment, work long and hard, dance, tell stories, laugh lots, cry often, and was generous and kind to all. He dearly loved his family, his buddies, the Peace River area, old country songs and his pickup truck. A celebration of life will be held August 22, 2018, 2:00 p.m., Fountain of Life Church, 51461 Yale Road, Rosedale, BC.
