KELLY, Terry

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Terry Kelly. Terry was a beautiful soul leaving an amazing legacy of love and compassion.

Terry was born in Vancouver, June 13, 1939 and passed away peacefully in hospice on May 7, 2022 from a debilitating muscular disease. He will always be remembered by his loving wife Olecia along with his sister Trudy Hubbard, his brother Dave Kelly, nieces and nephews Kelly, Lisa (Derek), Leigh, Dan (Bernice) and great nieces Melissa (Cam), Sarah, Samantha, great nephews Sam (Tomomi), Kai and Jason. His extended family, Wendy, Marla, Ken, Maddy and Spencer.

Terry will be greatly missed and forever remembered in the hearts of all that knew him. He had a wonderful vibrant life. Terry asked you to remember the happy times he shared with you on the Boats, Harleys and Fast cars. It was quite a run!

Olecia wishes to thank everyone for their support. Especially the kindness of Dr. Mike Purdon and Pharmacists Mark and Graham at Lakeside Medicine pharmacy.

Terry and I always had great conversations about the state of the world whenever I got together with him. He was always in good spirits and up to date with everything even though he was suffering from the terrible muscular disease. So Bon Voyage Terry, it was a pleasure to have known you and I will miss our chats.
