We Remember
SMALLWOOD, Jerry Robert
May 8, 1979 — May 8, 2018
Our beloved son sadly passed away on May 8, 2018 at the age of 39. He is survived by his loving parents Jerry and Sharon; brother Jeff (Taunya) and their daughter Ava; his longtime friend Danielle and her daughters Bella and Julianna; many aunts, uncles and cousins as well as his loyal canine companions, Trigger and Casper, who were always by his side.
Jerry was a kind, loving, compassionate person. He was an amazing cook and had a long career as a Red Seal chef, working at many locations in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan – He was one hell of a cook.

I will remember all the months and years we spent working and adventuring together, the powerful laughter and our sense of humour that had us unable to see through all the tears of joy.

Hi Sharon, Jerry & Jeff, We were shocked to hear of Jerry’s death yesterday. TYLER brought us the obituary yesterday. He was very upset as are we.

Know that that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you . We can imagine your sorrow and the magnitude of your loss. We wish we could attend the memorial service but it’s not really possible at this time . We will be there in spirit. Take care Love from Chris, Linda TYLER, Trevor and Keith.
