February 13, 1934 – March 18, 2017

Glen Allen Cairns passed away peacefully in Kamloops on March 18th, 2017, at the age of 83. Lovingly remembered by his wife of 63 years Ruth Cairns, daughter Valerie Cairns, sons Randy and Gregg Cairns, grandchildren Sierra Rae, Janet Richards, Sarah and Matthew Cairns, brother Earl Cairns and sister Lorna Finney. Predeceased by his parents, Rolland and Lillian Cairns. 

Glen had a great sense of humour that often teetered on the balance of social acceptance, and loved to make people laugh. 

Throughout his life, Glen spent countless hours helping others. Some of his volunteer time was spent with Habitat for Humanity, Telephone Pioneers and the Man in Motion tour. His family remembers often stopping on the side of road to help strangers fix their car. 

Glen had an insatiable quest to know how things worked, and paid particular attention to detail. His family fondly remembers his creative abilities and craftsmanship. 

In lieu of flowers the family is asking that you make a donation to a charity of your choice. 

A celebration of life will be held on April 29th, 2017, at 1:30 pm at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops BC. Please Come and share a special memory.
