We Remember

Williamson, Brent

—

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Brent Williamson at the age of 51, after a courageous fight with cancer.  Brent was born and raised in Nanaimo, BC with his 3 brothers and his sister.  Brent met and married the love of his life Gail (Dunlop) and had 3 children Lesley, Mark, and Tannis. He took great pride in his work as a highways electrician and the friendships of the Westcana crew.  Brent enjoyed hiking with Gail and friends, skiing, boating, golfing (especially the annual boy’s trip) and travelling with his family.  Brent could often be found tinkering around the house as he took great pride in keeping things in good working order. Brent was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle and friend who will be greatly missed by those who were blessed by his quiet companionship. We welcome family and friends to gather on Saturday, Feb 4, 2012 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm at the Kelowna Golf & Country Club, 1297 Glenmore Drive.  In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.

    Gail, Lesley, Mark and Tannis,
    We just wanted you to know how sorry we are for your loss. There is nothing we can say that will make it better, but maybe knowing that there are countless people (in addition to your closest friends and family) thinking about you at this difficult time will help to ease the pain just a little bit. All the best to all of you. Love the Kosses

    Dear Gail,

    It has been some time since we last spoke but we read with sadness this morning that Brent has died. Neither Sylvia nor I met Brent, but based on our interactions with you and Tannis, we know that he must have been a wonderful man, husband and father. Know that we are thinking of you at this difficult time. We are hopeful that your memories of Brent will sustain you and provide some comfort to you and your children.

    Dear Gail and Family,
    My sincere condolences for your loss. Brent was a good man, and a wonderful colleague. I always appreciated his quiet and confident manner. I first met Brent at the Cape Horn shop when he was a new journeyman, and I was a new apprentice – 25 years ago. He will be sorely missed. Brent was kind, thoughtful, and very intelligent. We’re all going to miss him dearly. Know that his friends and co-workers will always be there for you – after all, it’s just what Brent would have done.

    Scot.

    Dear Gail and Family,

    I only knew Brent from our annual Boys’ Golf Week, but I am just devastated by the news of his passing. Brent was one of my favourite people to connect with each year, and we spent many hours chatting and pondering. He was a wonderful person and he will be truly missed. Our sincere condolences.

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.
