PELLETIER, Bradley John December 17, 1957 - January 5, 2014 It is with deep sorrow that our family announces the passing of Bradley John Pelletier. After several months at Victoria General Hospital, fighting many complications following surgery, he succumbed at the young age of 56 surrounded by family and friends. Brad was born and grew up in Campbell River and lived there for the better part of his life. He had a big heart and could often be found lending a hand to a friend. Brad was an avid outdoorsman and a great fisherman. He also had a passion for cooking, creating recipes, and concocting his own smoked spices.

His work life encompassed many spheres and took him to Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatchewan, and the North. His most loved work was mixing metal alloys for Alcan, log salvaging on the Fraser River, as well as working on the tugs.
