George Harvey Simpson

July 13, 1945 – June 17, 2023

On June 17, 2023 George Harvey Simpson quietly concluded his journey in this life in Kamloops, B.C. with his sons, daughter, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and life partner by his bedside.

Harvey Simpson began his story in Burnaby on July 13, 1945 when his parents, Frank and Genieva Simpson welcomed him into this world. Predeceased by his parents, his brother, Walter, and his sister, Ruth, Harvey leaves behind his life partner Joan Benson, his children Lana Brooks (Rob), Brent Simpson (Kathy), Keith Simpson (Simone) as well as Aaron Benson (Sara) and his beloved grandchildren Karly (Mitchell), Sydney (Dylan), Tyson (Vanessa), Shyann (Nolan), Skyla, Brett, Lyla, Brianna, his great-granddaughters Ahviona and Farrah and his sister Barbara (Kim), his nephews Trevor (Leona), Joshua (Chelsea), extended family and countless friends

There will not be a shortage of hunting and fishing tales when one’s mind is turned to the life of our kind-hearted, loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, for he ensured to engage in all that this journey had to offer. In his absence many slices of cake will go uneaten, bottles of ketchup unused, while trips to Arizona, Europe and elsewhere abroad will be amiss without his thick, wavy hair, and snowy-beard framed smile, and casinos will finally rest easy knowing he can no longer pillage their slots.

Gone far too soon, he will be greatly missed and fondly remembered as the Rock for us all.

Funeral service will be held July 1, 2023 at 11:00 a.m., at Schoening Funeral Home in Kamloops, B.C.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Kamloops Hospice Association and our deepest gratitude in advance.
