We Remember

LODGE, Richard Gregg

Richard Lodge passed away, with family at his side, on April 10, 2025, in Kelowna, BC, at the age of 79.

Richard will be deeply missed by his wife of 57 years, Janice; son Sean (Bec) of Australia; daughter Lisa Lodge; granddaughters Indiana and Rylee Lodge, Eden, Jewel and Farrah Lamb; brother Beri; sisters Jean Thompson and Carol Couch; and many nieces and nephews. Family was the most important part of Richard’s life.

Richard dedicated 35 years of his work life to B.C. Tel/Telus, where he was known for his dedication and professionalism.

Richard had a deep passion for travel, with Australia holding a special place in his heart, as he frequently visited family there. Since 1968, he shared his love of skiing and snowboarding at Big White with his family – a cherished tradition that brought them together through the years. Richard also found great joy in boating through the Gulf Islands, cycling, hiking, and camping – pursuits that reflected his love for nature and the outdoors.

A quiet and gentle soul, Richard touched the lives of many with his kind presence. He will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses in the ICU at Kelowna General Hospital for their care.

A gathering for family and friends will be held at a later date.
