BUCKBOROUGH, Gary Crawford
May 27, 1932 — March 6, 2022
At the age of 89, on March 6, 2022, Gary Buckborough passed away peacefully while surrounded by family. He will be deeply missed by his family: Agda Buckborough, his wife of 62 years; his children Bruce (Lucy) and Ruth (Chris); grandchildren Brian (Jeannine), Jennifer (Andrew), and Lisa; and his great-grandchildren Emily, Olivia, Connor, Aubree, Hudson, and Kayne.
Known for his sharp wit and sense of humour, Gary led a rich and full life. He was born and raised in Winnipeg, MB and moved to BC in 1959. Gary and Agda married and raised their family in BC, and they settled in Kelowna, BC in 2013. He and Agda travelled the world together. Gary had a long career in Insurance & Risk Management until he retired. He spent most of his retirement years volunteering with the RCMP Community Policing in both White Rock and Kelowna.
The family would like to express a special thank-you to the nurses, doctors, and staff at Kelowna General Hospital, as well as his family doctor, Dr Schriemer.
Family and friends will honour Gary, each in their own way, no formal service will be held.

Dear Agda & family, So very sorry to read that you have lost Gary. We worked together for the same company in the same department for many many years. He was a true family man and always was so proud of you, Ruth and Bruce. At work he was a real pleasure to be around with that sense of humour always making us laugh. My deepest condolences on your loss. RIP Gary, you were one in a million!
So terribly sorry to learn of Gary’s passing. We will miss his witty sense of humor and wonderful smile. We know he will be greatly missed. He always spoke so fondly of all of his family. We will miss his amusing stories and occasional witty remark.
Our deepest of sympathies

Agda & family – I’m so sorry to learn of Gary’s passing. Gary & my dad (Kel Buckboro) were cousins who grew up together in Winnipeg. Gary was a big help to me filling in some pieces on the family tree & provided amusing stories! I am so sorry for your loss.
