Quintin Wagler Obituary
It is with great sadness and heartbreak that we announce the tragic passing of Quintin Alex Wagler on October 29, 2017 at the age of 27.
Quintin suffered from a ruptured brain aneurysm while at work on Friday, October 27. His condition quickly deteriorated. Doctors at Royal Inland Hospital did all they could to provide him a chance to fight, however the damage was irreversible. Quintin passed away surrounded by friends and family.
Quintin was born on March 22, 1990 in Kamloops, British Columbia. Quintin leaves behind the love of his life and soulmate Janelle Zimmer. He is also survived by his parents Brian and Diane, sister Rhea (Dave) and Ceirrin, brothers Brady (Laura) and Styles (Amanda), his grandmother's Theresa LeBlanc (predeceased by Papa Al) from Kamloops and Mary Wagler (predeceased by Dan Wagler) from Stratford, Ontario.
He will be greatly missed by his aunts and uncles and cousins. Rita Leblanc (Kevin Wilson) Issac Wilson, Janelle Munday, Irene Sandback (Keith) Eric, Cherilyn, Patience, Jaylia and Raelysa, Marie Struthers (Neil), Ashley (Monica) Zander and Ariel, (predeceased by Leyla) and Blaze; Jim Wagler (Kay) Alan, Mark and Scott, Bonita Mason, Alannah,
Kaleigh and Brett, Darlene Birkenhead (Sam) Callahan, Allan Wagler (Laurie), Brian (April), Shawn, Ron Wagler (Michelle) Caden and Taryn and countless cherished friends.
Quintin attended elementary at St. Ann's, where he met his love Janelle. He graduated with honours from Sa-Hali Secondary School. Excelling in both academics and sports, especially mathematics and soccer, he captured everyone's hearts. We all wished we had his natural talent.
After high school he enrolled in an apprenticeship for carpentry and worked alongside his father Brian Wagler for A&B Boys Contracting Ltd. for over a decade. Quintin eventually obtained his Red Seal ticket at Thomson Rivers University. He was always hardworking, resourceful and took on more and more responsibility in the company with his organizational skills and brilliant mind for reading blueprints and business.
Quintin always had a love for the outdoors and could often be found snowboarding on the slopes of Sun Peaks. Recently he summited to the base of Mount Robson, which served as a perfect example of how he was always up for an adventure. You could always find Quintin playing Sudoku, talking about the deeper life events and making everyone laugh with his quick sense of humor.
Family and friends are invited to Celebrate Quintin's Life on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at 3:00pm, at the Coast Hotel, Rogers Way, Main Ballroom, Kamloops.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Kamloops Brain Injury Association.
