June 21, 1941 – March 24, 2023

It is with great sadness that the family of Ted Chayeski announce his sudden passing on March 24, 2023 at the age of 81.

Ted was born in Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan and raised in Victoria, BC. It was through the love of working with service dogs that led him to a life of public service. Starting in the Kootneys, where he served on a K-9 unit for the city of Nelson police force, to completing his career with over 20 years working at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, Ted was a dedicated and respected officer.

Ted will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of over 30 years, Karen; step-daughters Kimberly (Patrick), Leah (Sean); grandchildren Chloe, Gavin, and Katherine; and numerous other family members and friends.

Ted was pre-deceased by his parents, Joseph and Cecile; and brother Harvey.

At Ted’s request, no service will be held. Memorial donations may be made in Ted’s name to the BC SPCA, 2816 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC, V2B 0H9.

You may pass along a message of condolence to the family at First Memorial Funeral Services.
