Gordon Howell, a longtime Kamloops businessman and local rancher, passed into the presence of the Lord at Kamloops, BC on January 27, 2016, age 69 years.

Born in Pentiction, BC on September 1, 1946 and raised in Bridesville. Gordon grew up with a passion for hockey and a love for flying, earning his pilots license at age 17. Gordon met Barbara, the love of his life in 1966, and they married in 1968 in Penticton. Shortly after they moved to Kamloops, which would become their hometown, a place to raise their family and the primary location of Gordon’s electrical business. Over the next many decades, Gordon proudly built this business, which he enjoyed running together with his brother-in-law, Jim Nikkel and son Brent. In 1996 he realized his life long passion of ranching, purchasing his own ranch and cattle herd at Monte Creek.

Gordon is lovingly remembered by wife Barbara, children Bradley (Lynette) of Sacramento, Brent (Jackie) of Monte Creek, Brianne (Graeme) of Kamloops, grandchildren Jordon, Kiana, Dacy, Emelia, Rylee and Ivy, parents Lawrence and Dorothy of Penticton brother Cecil (Kathy), sister Margaret (Chris), as well as many nieces and nephews and numerous friends and relatives.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held, Saturday, February 6, 2016 at Summit Drive Baptist Church, 1975 Summit Drive, Kamloops, BC at 1:00 pm. Pastor Harry Bicknell officiating.
