Edward Paul Dyck

It is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to a loving and kind hearted Father, Brother, Opa, Uncle and Friend, Edward Paul Dyck on October 6,2023.

Ed was born April 22, 1954 in the small town of Winkler Manitoba to Aaron and Anne Dyck. He spent most of his young life in Manitoba. Playing with his brothers and his bikes on the family farm.

After graduation, he moved to Winnipeg where he met Pearl and they started a family in Benito. A few years later, they moved back to Winnipeg, as Ed became a partner at a Dairy Equipment company. Ed was a man of many talents and a hard worker. He had various jobs over the years including heavy equipment operator, plumber, taxi driver, real estate and diamond drilling.

After Pearl and Ed split up he met Debbie Enns. They started a life together before moving to BC in the early 90.Life was always fun and exciting in Kamloops raising four teenagers Nola, Justin, Shaun and Ellery. The house was always busy. They then moved to Black pines where he enjoy having get togethers with both his and his children’s friends. Unfortunately, after his loss of Justin in 2012, his heart was heavy but he found peace on his Harley. Open road and wind in his hair, his rides with his buddies are something he always cherished.

In 2002, he became a grandpa. He was the proudest and would take every second to talk about his boys and grandkids. He loved the Mondays he spent with Thomas and eventually Derian. babysitting and adventures. He enjoyed his visits with Shaun and watching all his four grandsons grow. Always telling them how great and special they were. Whether it was sitting and listening to them as they tried to teach Opa how to play a video game, or watching their sports. His favourite was watching them on the football field. He would always be their number one fan, reminding them how they were fast little tackling machines.

Unfortunately, in 2022 Ed was diagnosed with cancer. He always remained optimistic and looked at the positives, even though the road ahead would prove hard.

Thank you to Doctors and the nurses staff at both the RIH Cancer clinic as well as the KGH Cancer Clinic.
