1944 – 2016

On Tuesday, February 16, 2016, Malcolm “Mick” Charles McPhee passed away peacefully after a brief battle with cancer.

Mick is survived by his children, Mike (Cathie) and Michelle (Randy), his grandchildren Alexandra (Mark), Samantha, Duncan and Aidan, and his siblings Don (Sandra), Judy and Rex, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews, and many good friends.   Mick is predeceased by Gloria, his beloved wife of 47 years.

Mick was born on August 18, 1944 in Chilliwack, BC.  He moved to Kamloops with his family when he was two years old.  After attending Norkam Secondary, he trained as a mechanic in Nanaimo, BC. He returned to Kamloops to begin his career, where he spent thirty-five years at Dearborn Ford.   Mick’s hobby as a gunsmith grew to become a second career and he distinguished himself as an internationally known barrel maker and a competitive target shooter.

Mick met his wife Gloria in 1962 and they were married in 1965.  Together, they raised their two children and immensely enjoyed being grandparents.  Mick especially enjoyed family barbeques, car shows and teaching his grandchildren to shoot.  Mick volunteered as a softball coach for several years and spent countless hours passing on his joy of fishing and the outdoors.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, April 2, 2016 at 2:00pm in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel.285 Fortune Drive.

Special thanks for the exceptional care and dedication of Dr. Cribb, Dr. Chevalier, Dr. Proctor and the staff of 6 North and Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.
