It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edward Donald Elchuk at the Langley Hospital in BC on Sept 12th, 2024.
Edward was pre-deceased by his parents John and Agnes Elchuk and his lovely wife Olga Elchuk who passed in 2021. He also was pre-deceased by his brother-in-law Nester.
He was father to his son Don Wiebe (Isolda, aka Izzy), as well as 2 granddaughters Julia and Jennifer, 2 great-granddaughters Kaiya and Ramona.
Edward was married to his favourite gal Olga for 50 years, of which he was father to stepson Rick Austrom (and wife Beatrice), stepdaughter Carol Armstrong (and husband Don),
3 granddaughters Jenny, Danae and Janelle, as well as 5 more great-granddaughters Sarah, Hailey, Ella, Harper and Blake, and 1 great-grandson Gray.
When Ed was young, he enjoyed his summers working on the farm alongside his parents and brothers Merv and Dennis, and his sisters Jeanette and Diane.
Ed’s passion was long-haul driving for over 40 years, and taking special road trips with Olga, He was still driving at the age of 95 and was very proud of that.
His next big accomplishment was taking aviation lessons and learning how to fly small planes out of the Langley Airport. He flew many of his family and friends out for an exciting time in the clear skies.
Now it is time for Edward to rest in peace and may all the wonderful memories be a comfort to all of his loved ones and friends.
