We Remember

LOREE, Rodney Wilfred “Rod”

June 20, 1949 — April 18, 2025

Rod Loree, our loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully at Kelowna General Hospital on April 18, 2025, at the age of 75. Born in Jasper, Alberta, on June 20, 1949, Rod lived a full and productive life – one built on hard work, good laughs, and deep love for his family.

He was the proud owner and operator of Associated Pavement Maintenance Ltd. for 45 years, and anyone who knew him knew just how much he loved what he did. Whether behind the scenes or behind the wheel, Rod took pride in every job and every mile.

Rod loved to play pool – he was one of the best around in his younger days. And, he had a serious affection for golf and for hitting the road. He loved to travel, right up until this past year, and no matter where he went, he brought joy and stories with him.

He leaves behind his partner of 42 years, Elaine Kupser; his sons Devin and Rodney; daughters Cheryl (Brad) and Jackie; grandchildren Chelsea (Jay), Amber (William), Amy (Conner), and Levi; and great-grandchildren Owen, Maya, Izzy, and Cali. He’s also survived by his sister Beverly and brother Richard.

We’ll miss the good times, the hard-earned wisdom, and his unmistakable way of showing he cared. Rest easy, Rod – you are in our hearts forever.
