April 29, 1953 – December 24, 2019

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Redge James Slaunwhite on December 24, 2019 at the age of 66 years. He was surrounded with love by his son James and good friend Eileen. Redge was eager to help his close friends and family by working on their cars or helping them with handyman things around the house. Redge was a single father and was proud of the young man he raised. He continued his great work ethic as a truck driver in his later years. Those who knew Redge knew he could light up a room with a joke or a laugh. Redge was predeceased by his parents, John and Ida (nee Gagnon) Slaunwhite. He is survived by his son, James Grandbois and granddaughter, Laila Grandbois; brothers; Don (Dianne) Slaunwhite, and Ken Slaunwhite, sisters; Shirley (Joe) Sobochan, Joan (Len) Slaunwhite, and Lorrie Pheasey; close cousin, Ellen Gray; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Eileen Hannah for all the kind support she had shown to Redge during his illness.

Our Mother, Grandmother, Nana and Aunt, our Friend.

It is with deep sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of our Mother on December 28, at age 86 years. After falling and breaking her hip, she slipped away quickly and unexpectedly. My sons, Evan (Kristi), Cole, Cameron, my daughter Miranda, and granddaughter Julia were stunned by the passing of their Granny, aka Nana. My sister, Linda (Ray) was there beside Mom, in the hospital when she died. Linda had to go home and console her children Ryan, Sean (Kori), and grandchildren, Dylan, Hunter and Gabrielle. My brother’s children Alan (Jenn), Cory (Moriah), and granddaughter Melody will be missing Gramma Elkes as well.

Mom was predeceased by her husband, Fred, son Scott and grandson Kyle.

Mom spent most of her life in the Canadian Forces, first as an enlisted woman, then as the wife of an AirForce man. She was always a strong and beautiful person with a great personality and will be sorely missed by so many friends and family.

Gordon was born on November 13, 1989 and went home to Jesus at the age of 29 years on Thursday, May 30, 2019. Family left to mourn his passing are his Dad, Ralph (Carla); Mother, Karen (Don); Sisters, Belynda and Alicia; Brothers, Jacob and Ralphy; as well as his Grandma Shaner, Aunt Deb, Grandma Fehdrau and several other family members, friends and caregivers.

Before Gordon’s illness, he will be fondly remembered by many as the chatty young man who loved to dress up in a shirt and tie for any occasion, especially to spend time with his family for every holiday, birthday and event. He loved all kinds of music, almost as much as he loved riding his bike. Gordon was very involved in Special Olympics bowling, and Camp Health, Hope and Happiness. His favorite color was yellow, like his bowling ball.

Gordon was predeceased by his “Grandpa Shaner” – Ralph Kimball Shaner; his “farm Grandma” – Iris Ray; and his Brother, Ralph Gordon Shaner.
