Edward Shearer Obituary

With much heartache, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, Ed Shearer,
aged 71, on April 29th, 2024. He leaves behind his loving wife of 48 years, Kristine, daughters Hayley (Joe), Marit (Chris) and his
grandchildren, the absolute Loves of his Life, Aubrey & Wyatt. He was predeceased by his parents Ralph and Selma, and his older brother Alvie.
He is survived by his younger brother Blaine (Elaine) of Kamloops, sister Trudy (Blackfalds), nieces, a nephew, and many friends. Ed would have never met his 'littles' without his double lung transplant he received in April 2013. We are forever grateful to his Donor.
Ed was raised on the family farm in Doe River, BC, a small farming community outside of Dawson Creek. He attended school there and later graduated from South Peace Secondary School. In 1984, he moved his family of four to Prince George to take a position at AquaTerre and eventually worked for the City of Prince George, as Manager of Technical Services and then Manager of Streets Division, where he worked until he retired in 2009. Ed sincerely enjoyed his life's work and the people who he worked with. Long after he retired from the City, he gladly continued to take
contract work with Radloff Engineering, work he was proud of and enjoyed. Throughout his life, Ed had a deep appreciation for sport and community. Rain or shine, he watched nearly every game and attended every tournament his daughters or grandkids ever played in. Ed excelled at
many sports growing up, including fastball, broomball, and later golf. He was involved in Minor Girls Fastball, coaching the PG Thunderbirds for many seasons. For many years, Ed was the Director and Chairperson of the College Heights Community Association, and later acted as a Senior Advisor. He tended the CHCA ballfields and concession at the high school, dragging diamonds, and chalking the lines for countless games and tournaments.

A Celebration of his Life will be held September 21st, 2024 at 1pm at the Bon Voyage Banquet Hall in Prince George.

A cash bar will be available.
