We Remember

BEAUREGARD, Jean

December 24, 1958 — July 19, 2018

Born in Prince George, BC on Dec. 24, 1958, Jean left us suddenly but peacefully in Kelowna on July 19, 2018 at the ripe young age of 59. Pre-deceased by his parents Alfred & Rollande, as well as his brother Edmond, Jean leaves behind his sister Doris, his brothers Pierre & Leo (Linda), his nieces Michelle & Alexandria, his wife Lori and his beloved pets Octavia, Obie & Nylee.

Jean graduated from Immaculata High School in 1976. He went on to become a Journeyman Electrician which took him to places like The Darlington Nuclear Plant in Bowmanville, ON as well as Ruby Lake, Port Melon, Squamish & Burnaby, BC. He also took many courses over the years at BCIT & other institutions to upgrade his credentials.

His home base, however, was always Kelowna. He worked for Okanagan Heating & Air Conditioning for many years while adding Gas Fitter Certifications to his resume. In 2012, he started his own business called BIT Electrical and Gasfitting LTD. His goal was to provide green energy solutions with safe equipment upgrades to heating & electrical control systems. He was slowly moving off the grid with his solar panels & wind turbine on his own home.

But Jean lived for the weekends so he could drag race at Thunder Mountain. He started by racing his 1977 – 650 Kawasaki Chopper and then, graduated to his dragster “The Bare Necessities.” His penchant for experimentation led him to modify his dragster by adding a Harley Davidson engine to the Chevy engine resulting in the “Chev-Harley” that never failed to put on a show!

The past few years were spent posting U-Tube Videos that featured Thunder Mountain events & experiments with 3D Technology. He also enjoyed researching the Beauregard family history in his spare time. His latest hobby was building cool, electric bicycles that took him wherever he wanted to go.

A Celebration of Life is scheduled Friday, August 17/18 for 1pm at Springfield Funeral Home. Write down any stories to share – someone will read for you if you can’t.

Please donate to the SPCA in lieu of flowers. Jean, go with throttle up!”

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
