1932 – 2022

It is with profound sadness that the family of Ryoji (Yosh) Nabata announce his passing on Friday, March 11, 2022 at the age of 89.

Yosh will be remembered by his wife Sumiko; children, Miyoko (Paul), Lynn, Julie (Steve); grandchild Ethan; sibling, Frank; and numerous other family members and friends.

Yosh was born in Vancouver, B.C., lived in Magna Bay, and finally settled in Kamloops.  For a number of years, together with two brothers, owned and ran Nabata Bros. Motors in Valleyview.

At Yosh’s request, no service will be held.

Those whom so desire may make donations in memory of Ryoji Nabata to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home at 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, B.C. V2E 2S9.

The family wishes to send their deepest gratitude to Dr. Mavis Hollman, Dr. Meghan Macdonald, and the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home for their care and compassion.

Condolences may be sent to the family at Kamloops Funeral Home.
