Tiber passed away under the care of his family and support staff at the UHNBC on November 11, 2022 at the age of 70. Tiber was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend to many. Tiber and his family came to Canada in 1961 and settled in Prince George shortly thereafter. Tiber's parents opened Steve and Sons Shoe Shop, a local business that is still in operation today. Tiber worked in the family business for many years, and founded Jerrico Leather with business partner Jerry Gauthreau (current owner of Steve and Sons). He would eventually go back to the forest industry where he spent most of his working career as a millwright and supervisor for several companies including Rustad Bros. Sawmill, Carrier Lumber and Brink Forest Products. Tiber had a knack for mechanics and woodworking. In his later years you could find him in his garage fixing family and friends inoperable belongings. From lawnmowers and snowblowers, to boat motors and mopeds--he was always happy to help. Tiber was happiest with a fishing rod in hand, puppy at his side and making elaborate recipes and meals with his family.
Tiber was predeceased by his mother (Katarine); father (Steve); brothers Stefan (Jacqueline) and Peter (Lillian). Tiber leaves behind his loving wife of 50 years, Lorraine; children Angela (Rick) and Kevin (Melanie); grandchildren Lauren, Tanner, Ella, and Riley and siblings Margaret (Pat), Ed, and Denis.
Funeral service will be held at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 10:00 am Monday, November 21, 2022, with a Celebration of Life reception to follow.
