We Remember

HEWITT, Cash Ryan Jr.

January 9, 2006 — August 6, 2023

Cash Hewitt Jr. passed away suddenly on August 6, 2023.

Left to mourn his loss are his parents: Stacie Gilbeau, Cash Sr. (Connie) Hewitt and Graham O’Leary; sisters Jessa Hewitt, Sarah Hewitt, and Kayla Munro; grandparents Shelley Lyon, Harold “Tex” Hewitt, and Kim Hamilton; uncles and aunts Thomas (Rebecca) Gilbeau, Tyler (Juli) Gilbeau, and Sherry Hewitt; great aunts and uncles, numerous cousins and friends; and best friend since birth Paige Melnick.

Cash was born in Kelowna on January 9th, 2006. At the age of 5, he moved to Glenrosa and became the quirky guy that everyone knew and loved. Glenrosa Elementary and Middle School are the places he made friends and became part of the community family.

Cash was starting to find his way in life. In previous years he had raised money for the Gospel Mission and most recently was to start a new job for the Boys & Girls Club. Cash would have been going into his grade 12 year, and had ambitions to try the automotive program, and the gateway program to see where his life would take him. However, neither of those things would have been possible if it wasn’t for the staff at Westside Learning Centre, and specifically “Ms. T”.

Cash was fiercely loyal, and an empath at best. Cash’s quick wit came from his Dad, and his strive to tease from his Stepdad. He definitely had people in stitches wherever he went. However, his friends and family were the most important thing to him. He never missed a beat and would tell his Mom and Sister he loved them at the end of every phone call or closing of a door, and didn’t care who heard him.

A Celebration of Life with take place on Saturday, August 19, 2023, at 1:00 PM, at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. If you are unable to attend in person, please join the family online by Livestream at the time of the service (see below), a recording will be made available to view shortly thereafter.

As Cash Jr was to start working at the Boys and Girls Club starting on August 8, in lieu of flowers please consider a donation to The Boys and Girls Club of the Okanagan.

    Dear Stacie, Cash Sr., and Jessa
    I watched the beautiful celebration of life that you held for Cash Jr. and was truly touched by what a fine young man he had become. I remember “Cash Man” from preschool as a smiling and happy little boy with a very gentle and kind heart. My heart aches for your loss and I pray that you will find peace in the wonderful memories that you made together. Sending hugs….Teacher Bev ❤️

    Dear Stacie and family,
    My deepest condolences to you and your family. I am deeply sorry as I was not able to attend yesterday for reasons beyond my control but I was able to view the stream and it looked to be like a beautiful service. I cannot fathom what you are going through and Cash was one of the sweetest boys that I’m blessed to get a chance to have known. He will be so dearly missed and if there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to reach out. With all my love, Tam Wong.

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.
