It is with great sadness that the family of Gary Timms announces his passing on May 22, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Gary was born on July 23, 1952 to Joan & Ev Timms in Edmonton, AB. He moved with his family at a young age to Clinton, BC where he grew up with a fondness for the outdoors & horses. Later, to be closer to his children, he spent many years in Clearwater, BC before finally settling in Salmon Arm, BC. Gary was quiet by nature, and on the extraordinary times he’d give a smile it could light up a room.
Gary is preceded in death by his father Ev, and he is lovingly remembered by his mother Joan and his children Joe & Lisa. He will also be warmly remembered by his grandchildren Jonah (Christina), Journey (Ashley) & Mark and his siblings Ken, David, Bonnie & Ed (Linda).
A celebration of life will be held in Clinton, BC later this summer.
