December 1, 1961 — September 3, 2023

Our brother, known lovingly as Brother Bear, Uncle Mark and Great Uncle Mark, passed away in Kamloops, B.C. on Sept. 3, 2023.

The first of three sons born to Ed and Dianne Linfitt in Dawson Creek, B.C. on Dec. 1, 1961, Wendel is survived by his brothers Michael and Murray, his sister in laws Vicki and Bernie, his nephews and niece Christopher, Steven and Kimberly, and his great nephews and nieces Aiden, Natalya, Isabelle, Logan, Louise, Lily and Thorin.

Our dad said everyone needs to be good at something or have something to be proud of. He was right about that. Wendel worked hard to achieve his goals and put his all into whatever he did. He was a talented Red Seal journeyman carpenter that could build anything he put his mind to.

Wendel loved spending time visiting with our aunts, uncles and cousins and sharing in their lives. He was generous with his smiles and his quirky sense of humour and was always willing to use his talents and abilities to lend a helping hand.

He was an explorer at heart. His hobbies were exploring nature and treasure hunting with his metal detectors. His passions were movies and video games and exploring the worlds they provided. He had a beautiful and kind spirit as anyone who knew him will attest to…

Rest in peace Brother Bear, you are missed.

There won’t be a formal service but if you wish to, please make a donation in Wendel’s name to the heart disease charity of your choice.

You may offer a message of condolence at Kamloops Funeral Home for the Linfitt family.
