With profound sorrow and heartbreak we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son and brother, Trevor, on Family Day, 2022. Suffering from severe symptoms, Trevor was diagnosed with Bipolar (Manic Depression) in May 2021. He fought very hard to regain his health, but the disease was relentless. He was in hospital again in January and in February, 2022.
Left to mourn are his parents, Brad and Jo-Ann, brother Jordan (partner Tamara Wolowicz), and sister Thea, grandmothers Kathleen Loffler (Regina) and Beth Meekel (Nanaimo), aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Predeceased by his grandfathers Frank Loffler and Adrian Meekel.
Born in Regina, Trevor enjoyed many happy times at family gatherings. His family moved to Nanaimo in 2002 and he attended Rock City Elementary. He graduated with honours and math awards from Wellington Secondary. He was in the Reserves Infantry. Graduating from VIU with a BSc in Nursing in 2017, Trevor worked at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. In 2020 he became a critical care nurse and worked in the ICU at St. Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver. He was a front line worker during Covid.
An avid reader, Trevor would learn how to make or do anything that interested him. He built an electric bike, enjoyed Toastmasters, tennis, keeping fit, baking bread, and learning Spanish. He loved dancing, swimming, and camping with his family. He liked to travel and went to China and Mexico. He was known for his kind and gentle nature, friendliness, intelligence, knowledge, and unique perspective. He liked to make you laugh, and had a gentle way of teasing, followed with a wink. He was a unique and wonderful person.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at 1:30 pm, Departure Bay Baptist Church, 3510 Departure Bay Road, Nanaimo. If you would like to honour Trevor’s memory, please learn about mental illness, and advocate for mental health education in schools, as well as for improved mental health care. Donations may be made in his memory to The Canadian Mental Health Association.
