September 18, 2019

With his family by his side, it is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Trevor Jeanes. On September 18, 2019 at the age of 86.

Trevor was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 5, 1933. the family moved to Victoria BC where he grew up with a sister Valarie and his brother Dennis. In 1957 dad graduated from UBC with a Bachelor of Science in Forestry and became a Professional Forester. He worked all over the province from Prince George to Creston and most stops in between. No trip was ever boring because dad would tell a story of someone he had met or a place he had camped while working in the bush. It is while working for the BC Forest Service that he met the love of his life Anita whom he married in 1959. Shortly afterward they settled in Kamloops where they raised their three kids Michael, Marni, and Brenda. Trevor worked for Balco Forest Ind./Tolko Forest Products until 1988 when he retired. Throughout his working life dad loved the outdoors, developing a keen interest in hunting and fishing, and not a day went by without time for a couple games of cribbage. But his true passion was his garden. He was always proud of and happy to share his abundant harvest with Friends and Family.

He met many friends through the Kamloops Fly Fishers Club, working on many projects such as improving wharfs at Heffley lake and a Spawning channel at six mile lake. He also liked to tie flies and became known for Trevor’s Ugly Leech, giving some away to people he met while fishing at some of his favorite lakes. He spent his spare time building push toy ducks which he gave to the Ladies Auxillary. He loved to see kids playing with the waddling ducks he had made.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife, of 60 years, Anita, children Michael (Adina), Marni Follweiter (Glen), Brenda Harrison (Jim). Grandsons Brian Krogstad (Breanna), Jeff Krogstad (Stef), Spencer Harrison (Jen), Tyler Jeanes (Laura), and Kristoffer Jeanes (Jenine), as well as four Great-Grandchildren. He is survived by his sister Valarie and brother Dennis both of Victoria, BC.

In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the RIH foundation.

At Trevor’s request a private service with immediate family will be held at a later date.

A special thank you to the nurses of Five North who took such great care of dad.
