It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edwin Joseph Gouin on March 17, 2024. 

He is survived by his wife of 25 years Darlene Gouin, his daughters Cathie and Nancy, his stepchildren; Steven, Melissa, and Pamela, and his 13 beloved grandchildren. 

He was 1 of 8 children born to Albina and Alfonse Gouin outside of Calgary, Alberta on April 21, 1942. 

Ed proudly served in the Canadian Armed Forces. He had many trades throughout his life. He served his community with pride as the president of the Lions Club and Real Estate Association as well as many other impactful contributions to his community. 

The lakes, creeks, and hills of Kamloops and surrounding areas were his favorite places to hunt for his cottonwood bark for his carvings and creations. Ed will be missed by all who knew him.
