Alex Gardiner Obituary

GARDINER, Alex It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the family announces the peaceful passing of Alex Gardiner. Alex was born in Victoria, BC, on October 23, 1944 to Evelyn and Alex Sr. Alex is survived by his loving and devoted wife Diane, daughters, Kara (Gord), grandson, Hayden; Lindsay (Brad), grandsons Colton and Thomas; sisters Barbara and Kathie; also, Sharon, Larry, Debbie, Grant and their families. Alex will be greatly missed by his family, friends and the many people whose lives he touched. Alex took pride in having a strong work ethic. He was an accomplished woodworker, businessman and he loved gardening. He was a coach for the Gordon Head Girl's Softball team, having played softball himself in View Royal. He loved entertaining at family gatherings, and all were welcome. Special thanks to the nursing staff at Broadmead Care Centre who were there for Alex and his family. A Service will be held on Wednesday, October 6, 2021 at 2:00 pm in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Dr. with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Parkinson's Research, or a charity of your choice.

Dear Diane and Kathie, I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Alex in the early seventies at the "Scorpion". What fun times we had. Alex was a role model of how to treat people with superior work ethic, respect and caring. He was so much fun and it was evident he adored his family. I have many wonderful memories of this great guy. And oh my, thinking of his laugh makes me smile.

Alex was a kind, capable and truly decent person; he made the world a better place. Above all, Alex loved his family and was a devoted husband, proud father, doting grandfather, good brother, and a friend to many.

Dear Barb and Kathie: Great memories of Alex in various activities in View Royal, like cubs, etc. Also at Colquitz JHS: He got an early start in baseball, as his entry in our 1959 annual "The Spirit" states "...loves doing homework and playing baseball." He was so much like your Dad, who was respected in View Royal by our parents' generation as a fine man. Wife Beverley joins me in sending our sincere condolence.
