August 3, 1945 - July 18, 2024
In loving memory ~
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, husband and grandpa, Frederick James Pearson Wright. He passed away on July 18th, 2024, lovingly surrounded by his family. Dad was born on August 3rd, 1945, in South Shields, England. He came to Canada as a wee lad with his mom on the Queen Mary to meet his dad who had made their home in Vancouver, BC. Dad possessed a kind, gentle, compassionate and loving heart and was always willing to lend an ear or give someone a hand. He was a man of immense wisdom and humor and had a great love of family, friends, music, football and life.
Dad achieved his skill as a Heavy Duty Mechanic while in the Military. His career ranged from being a Heavy Duty Mechanic, Realtor, Industrial sprayer and in his latter years working in the Walmart Garden Center. He made many friends across the years in his workplaces and enjoyed sharing stories of all the people he met and friendships he made. His memory and ability to recall people, places and history was exceptional.
Dad loved most spending time with his wife (his "Sweetie") Evelyn Gurr, his daughter Tanya Wright Trodd & spouse James Baker and his son Fred Wright & wife Sherri Rewerts Wright. He was very proud of his three grandsons Jordon Trodd, Cameron Trodd and Rylan Trodd and loved them deeply. He was always so thrilled to visit & hear about their lives and he was one of their biggest fans. Dad also enjoyed spending time and creating memories with his cherished friends and siblings. He was never one to hold back the "I love you's". Dad's unwavering spirit and love will be forever remembered.
Dad is survived by his loving wife Evelyn Gurr; his daughter Tanya Wright Trodd, her spouse James Baker, Tanya's sons Jordon, Cameron and Rylan Trodd; his son Fred (Frederick David Pearson) Wright, his wife Sherri Rewerts Wright; his youngest brother Gil Wright & family; his sister Judy's children & families; and his brother Harry's children & families. Immediate family members predeceasing dad include: His parents Frederick Pearson and Ivy Wright and his beloved siblings sister Judy Spear and brother Harry Wright. Dad would always sign off by saying "Toodle-Loo" or "Ta-Ta" which we all remember fondly. So for now Dad, Toodle-Loo until we all meet again.
A Celebration of Life will occur in the Spring of 2025. The time and location are to be determined at a later date.
