Roger Gourven was born on February 12, 1928. He passed away peacefully on Monday, July 15, 2013 in the Kimberley Special Care Home.

Roger was born in Brittany, France. He immigrated to Canada in 1950. He lived most of his life in British Columbia surrounded by many friends who will remember Roger as a quiet, wise and kind man who was always ready to help.

He was predeceased by his mother Josephine and his father Louis and his four brothers. He leaves to mourn his passing his sisters Annie (Leonard) in Montreal and Yvette in Brittany, as well as many nieces and nephews in France. Roger will also be lovingly remembered by his nephew Joel (Pam), niece Marilyn (Wayne), great niece Vanessa and great nephew Michael.

Pleasures in Roger's life were his family, his yard, sharing his garden produce, caring for his animals, attending auctions, tinkering with and painting tractors and having morning coffee with his friends at the Dairy Queen.

At Roger's request, there will be no funeral service. A time of remembrance for all of his friends to honour his life will be scheduled at a later date.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
