Gerald Boychuk Obituary
September 15, 1949 - December 25, 2017
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gerald William Boychuk on Christmas day. Ger fought a hard battle with strength, courage and dignity.
He never took no for an answer and always found a way to solve a problem whether working on his vehicles, boats, woodworking or building his dream home with his wife, Sandy.
Ger was an avid outdoorsman. He lived for fi shing and hunting. Many times coming in off the water in the dark. He enjoyed walking the trails of the wilderness and felt totally at home in the bush. He made his own fi shing fl ies and arrows for bow hunting.
Always a protector, Ger had a career working in the security fi eld and was employed at the Th ompson Park Mall, Royal Inland Hospital, and fi nally, BCLC, which he enjoyed immensely, saying he had "won the lottery" when he was hired there.
He grew up in New Westminister and moved to Kamloops in his early twenties, where he lived until he retired. He then moved to Canim Lake where he built his home that he had been dreaming about since he was a child.
Ger was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Donna Boychuk, and granddaughter, Katie. He leaves behind his wife, Sandy; daughters, Lori (Chris) Griffi ths, Lisa Boychuk (John); stepsons, Darcy (Ashley), Neale (Lacey); brothers, Rodger and Fred; sister, Joan (Larry); father-in-law, Bruce McDonald; and six grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held at our home at Canim Lake in the spring.
Condolences may be off ered to the family at www.yatesmemorial.ca .
