Edward Hazelwood Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edward Hazelwood, on December 20, 2022. Eddie is survived by his loving wife Marie of 66 years, brother Harry, sister Adah Johnston, his sons Ivan (Connie), Alan (Janie), Barry (Lucille) and his daughter Becky Arnouse, grandchildren Curtis, Trent, Justin (Arina) Hazelwood, Shyla (Cody) Courteen-Nurse, Branden Arnouse, Kelsey (Derek) Brown, Jordann (Drew) De Frias, Kyle, Matthew (Kylie), great-grandchildren Liam and Keira Hazelwood, Ella Marie and Lark Brown, Harper Courteen-Nurse, and Olivia Hazelwood. Also predeceased by his parents, Ella and Joseph Hazelwood and son Wayne Hazelwood
Eddie was born in Mankota, Saskatchewan. Dad and Grandpa Hazelwood moved to B.C. when he was 8 years old to find a homestead. They settled in the Pritchard / Pemberton area where they started ranching. Dad attended Pemberton Range school to grade 8 until he decided that going to work was more to his liking. After a small disagreement with the schoolteacher, he was off to go and work in the logging industry running equipment, hauling lumber and driving logging truck. As the ranch grew it required him to be there full-time where he spent the next 50 years. Dad loved to sit and talk equipment operations with his kids and grandchildren and hear where they were in their careers. Always inviting people in for tea and something to eat even if that mom had to be the one to make it. Dad was always helping neighbours knowing he was not getting his own work done.
Our family wants to thank the staff at RIH Cancer Clinic, Renal Unit and 5 South for all the care they provided for dad.
There will be a celebration of life to be held at a later date.
