Ed Shearer Obituary
our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and
friend, Ed Shearer, aged 71, on April 29th, 2024.
He leaves behind his loving wife of 48 years,
Kristine, daughters Hayley (Joe), Marit (Chris) and his
grandchildren, the absolute Loves of his Life,
Aubrey & Wyatt.
He was predeceased by his parents Ralph and Selma,
and his older brother Alvie.
He is survived by his younger brother Blaine (Elaine)
of Kamloops, sister Trudy (Blackfalds), nieces, a
nephew, and many friends. Ed would have never met
his 'littles' without his double lung transplant
he received in April 2013.
We are forever grateful to his Donor.
Ed was raised on the family farm in Doe River, BC, a
small farming community outside of Dawson Creek.
He attended school there and later graduated from
South Peace Secondary School. In 1984, he moved
his family of four to Prince George to take a position
at AquaTerre and eventually worked for the City of
Prince George, as Manager of Technical Services and
then Manager of Streets Division, where he worked
until he retired in 2009. Ed sincerely enjoyed his life's
work and the people who he worked with. Long after
he retired from the City, he gladly continued to take
contract work with Radloff Engineering, work he was
proud of and enjoyed.
Throughout his life, Ed had a deep appreciation for
sport and community. Rain or shine, he watched
nearly every game and attended every tournament his
daughters or grandkids ever played in. Ed excelled at
many sports growing up, including fastball, broomball,
and later golf. He was involved in Minor Girls Fastball,
coaching the PG Thunderbirds for many seasons. For
many years, Ed was the Director and Chairperson
of the College Heights Community Association, and later acted as a Senior Advisor. He tended the CHCA ballfields and concession at the high school, dragging diamonds, and chalking the lines for countless games and tournaments.
A Celebration of his Life will be held September 21st, 2024 at 1pm at the Bon Voyage Banquet Hall in Prince George.
A cash bar will be available.
In lieu of flowers, if not already, please consider
becoming an organ donor.

What a funny guy, always made me laugh. Years ago Kristine looked after our kids. If Ed was home when I dropped them off. Ed would put on 100 Huntley St.The kids would just look at Ed. Ed would leave the room laughing but would not change the channel. He will be missed.

Ed and the Shearer family were a huge part of my life growing up. Ed was always a friendly face across the street who would always greet you with a hello or a funny joke. I have fond memories of spending my summer weekends at the ball diamond working at the concession with him. Hugs to Kristine, Haley and Marit. So sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences Kristine & family on the loss of your beloved Ed.
I had the great privilege to work with Ed for many years, he was always the life of the room with jokes and much, much laughter along the way but under all that humour was a very supportive, caring & compassionate man who provided a listening ear when needed for which I´ll be forever greatful & thankful. Ed was a great boss to me and taught me so much during those years, skills that were helpful after Ed retired, it was a joy to work alongside Ed.
At the ball fields, during tournaments, I appreciated all those hot chocolates on a cold rainy days and especially the early morning hangover burgers he´d happily cook up for all of us with a smile and chuckle. The ball fields were always meticulously maintained by Ed for all of us to enjoy.
Too many wonderful memories to share, thank you Ed!! Rest In Peace.
Native American Prayer
I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still in each new dawn.
