Laurie Wicks Obituary

WICKS, Laurie Wallace November 29, 1945 - June 10, 2019 Laurie Wallace Wicks passed away peacefully on June 10, 2019 at the age of 73 in Cowichan District Hospital surrounded by his family. Laurie was a draftsman and long time employee at BC Tel and Telus. His career there began with free-hand drawing of telephone lines and later transitioned to computer based drafting. He retired at the age of 55. Laurie's two boys Ryan and Darren were the light of his life. In 2004 he fell in love with Janet Rimmer and they later settled on a piece of property in Maple Bay where he could enjoy his cars, toys and tools. Laurie's most defining characteristics were that he was a man of integrity, who treated everyone with kindness and was deeply committed to his family. Laurie's legacy carries on with his beloved partner Janet, his two boys: Darren and Ryan (Christine), his four grandchildren: Tanner, Cohen, Kennedy and Charlotte. Laurie is also survived by brother Terry, wife Cathy and their three boys, Cody, Adam and Tyler Wicks. He is predeceased by his mother and father, Elizabeth and Wallace Wicks.

Sharon and I were saddened to hear about the passing of Laurie. He was a good man and will be missed by all. I had the good fortune of running into Laurie at the Glen Meadows Curling rink a few years ago and a 15 min coffee turned into an hour coffee catching up on all our families. It was great.

We have been friends with Laurie for over 50 years! We shared many good times over those years. Out for dinners, home parties, working on cars, drag racing, boating and water skiing, trips to Seattle and listening to music were a few of the activities we shared over the years. 50 years of Ford vs Chevie was always on the agenda! We will miss Laurie greatly. Our sincere condolences to Janet, Darren , Ryan and all Laurie's family. Love ya Laur!

Sorry to read of Laurie's passing. It was a school field-day in 1953 as we were finishing Grade Two that we came in second in an egg-and-spoon race. It was about the only athletic award I ever won and was proud of Laurie and myself.
