We Remember
Silcock, Paul Adam
May 10, 1972 — March 29, 2026
It is with immense love and sadness that we announce the loss of Paul Silcock, who passed away unexpectedly while travelling with his wife and youngest son in Thailand on March 29, 2026, at the age of 53.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 24 years, Rita; sons, Ivan and Liam; parents, Ann and Geoff; sister, Katherine (Allan); niece, Hazel; as well as extended family members and many friends.
Paul grew up alongside his parents and sister on various acreages, where life was filled with fresh air, hard work, and a deep connection to the land and animals. He spent his younger years raising sheep and goats, proudly showing them at local fairs, memories that stayed with him throughout his life.
He carried that same appreciation for the outdoors and the simple things into adulthood. Paul valued time spent with the people he loved, always making space for connection, laughter, and helping others wherever he could. He was steady, kind, and someone others could rely on.
At 29, Paul married the love of his life, Rita, and together they built a life rooted in love and family. A few years later, their family grew with the arrival of their sons, Ivan and Liam, who were the centre of his world.
Paul was more than a son, husband and father — he was a pillar in the community. He spent countless hours coaching hockey, mentoring not only his own sons but many other young athletes. He gave his time generously through ski patrol, always ready to help others in times of need. His kindness, warmth, and willingness to show up for people made a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Paul dedicated 24 years of his career to Valley Mitsubishi, where he worked as a fixed operations manager. He took pride in his work and was respected for his commitment, reliability, and the relationships he built over the years.
Above all else, Paul loved his family. He will be missed beyond words.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Paul’s honour at a later date. Details to be announced.

I have many good memories of Paul at the rink coaching our boys in hockey. We coached against each other and were always courteous and respectful and passionate about making it for the kids. Our condolences to the family for your loss.

Rita, Liam and Ivan, we are so sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. He coached Max in hockey and they made it to provincials that year. He was so patient and calm with the boys and took the time to reach them. This was one of our favorite years of hockey and we were so lucky to meet and got to know him and Rita. He was such a kind person and will be missed by the community
I went to high-school with Paul way back in the 80’s. I don’t know if his passion for heavy metal music carried on over the 40 years we graduated, but that fella loved it. His passion for sports and comradery within was evident way back when I knew him so well.
My condolences to his family. I’ll miss him
I met Paul a few years ago through work, and he made a lasting impression on me. It was clear he was an exceptional person and leader: smart, curious, honest, hardworking and generous with his time. He was deeply committed to giving his best in his work and to the people around him, someone you would always want on your team. We also shared a love of coaching team sports and hearing him speak about hockey and his sons and his players deepened my appreciation for Paul. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
