Eric Bigelow Obituary

Published by Comox Valley Echo from Jun. 17 to Jun. 19, 2014.
BIGELOW, Eric John . Eric John Bigelow, 26, of Vancouver, died June 6th, 2014 from cardiac arrest. He was born in Victoria, the son of Fred Bigelow and Sarah Savage. He graduated from Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School in 2006. Eric received his Bachelor of Commerce from the Sauder School of Business, UBC in 2011 and subsequently worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He received his Chartered Accountant designation in May. Aside from his many academic and professional accomplishments, he was driven to enjoy life, from the most remote wilderness locations to the heart of Vancouver and Manhattan, and all points in between. Above all, he had an uncommon ability to foster and maintain strong, loving friendships with an incredible number of people throughout his short but rich life. Eric is survived by his partner, Kyla Brophy of North Vancouver, his parents, his sister Stephanie and brother Alan, his maternal grandfather, Robert Savage, and his close friend Graeme Yamagishi, to say nothing of his large extended family and truly amazing number of friends. A Celebration of Eric's Awesomeness will be held on Saturday, June 21st at 1pm at the Canadian Forces Base Comox Officers' Mess. The family asks that you consider donations to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Dear Sarah, Fred, Stephanie and Alan I am shocked and saddened to learn of Eric's death. I am thinking of you all at this difficult time. Don't know if Eric liked Winnie the Pooh but here's a quote of his that I'm fond of “If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.”

Dear Sarah, Fred, Stephanie and Alan,
We are thinking of you all and of Eric--I remember we were all so impressed with what a wonderful young man he was when he hung out with us at the OAC during his visits from Victoria. Thinking of you all with sadness and love. Sincere sympathy from Theresa and the Wallace Dance family in Ottawa.
