MARCEL JOHN QUINVILLE
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Marcel
- 2 days till Christmas
Born John Ronald Pappenberger on November 12, 1953. Adopted name Marcel John Quinville. Passed August 22, 2014 at the age of 60.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our brother.
He was a very loving person, a kind soul who touched many lives while he was here. He was raised with his adopted family, the Quinvilles, in Merritt, BC and Kamloops area. He worked at Husky Truck Stop in Blue River and Valemount area for many years. He was very involved in community crime watch, he was very proud of this work. After many years he moved to Kamloops and met his new family of AA. This was a very important part of his life, and he had a great family in this group.
He met his birth family at 30 years of age, who had searched for him for many years. The Pappenberger family embraced him and were so happy to have him back in our lives as he was very loved by us.
In Kamloops he worked as a security guard at the Lansdowne Mall, then TRU where he was very loved by all. He popped into many offices and his thing was telling them how many days there were till Christmas. Many remember him because of his wonderful sense of humour and the joy he spread along the way.
He will be fondly remembered by his families the Pappenbergers, the Quinvilles, his AA family and all his many friends he made along the way.
His families would like to thank all who helped him along the way, the nurses and doctors who supported him and us through this tragic loss and the Lighthouse Church for generously donating space for a service.
He will live in our hearts forever.
