We Remember

CONLEY, Sheldon Russell
April 10, 1991 — March 20, 2025
With broken hearts, we share the passing of Sheldon Russell Conley on March 20, 2025, in Kelowna, BC.
Sheldon was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on April 10, 1991, but spent his childhood and teen years in Calgary. In 2015 as a young adult he decided to move to Kelowna. He found true happiness in Kelowna, where he built a life and a community that meant the world to him. He never missed a chance to remind those of us in Calgary how much better the weather was on his side of the mountains.
Sheldon is survived by his mother, Sharee – his rock, his best friend, biggest supporter and chosen father, Russell Gareau; his sister Shae-Lynn Conley and brother Shayne Conley as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and an incredible number of friends who became family. In his adult years, Sheldon also connected with his birth father’s family, who are mourning his loss as well.
Sheldon is predeceased by his grandparents William and Laura Conley, Doug and Pat Snow and Bert Gareau, his uncles Brent, Lance, and Rock Conley and Jimmy Roberts, and his cousin Sean Gareau.
Sheldon lived life on his own terms, outspoken, wild, and unapologetically himself. His energy, his humour, and his unforgettable presence left a mark on everyone who knew him.
To honour both Sheldon’s family in Calgary and his friends in Kelowna, there will be a funeral service in both Kelowna & Calgary.
A Funeral Service, will be held on THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM (PDT), at SPRINGFIELD FUNERAL HOME (2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC). You’re invited to a viewing before the service between 9:30 – 10:00 AM — a chance to say goodbye to Sheldon and find comfort in his peaceful presence.
A Memorial Service will be held on MONDAY, APRIL 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM (MDT), at Evan J Strong funeral services (3625 12 Street NE, Calgary, AB) . A reception will follow.
