VAN MEER, Christopher Jason
Feb. 2, 1988 - Oct. 10, 2014
It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Christopher Van Meer, lost in a tragic accident at the age of 26. Outgoing, full of life and determined, Chris applied himself to whatever interested him until he excelled at it, including his apprenticeship with Rite Flow Plumbing.
Chris was a prankster with a great sense of humour. He had numerous friends - many since his kindergarten days at Don Christian Elementary. Chris also attended Clayton High and Kwantlen Polytechnic. He enjoyed sports, hunting and fishing, and was an avid gamer. He worked out daily at Newlands gym.
Chris also had a softer side. He loved animals, and was raising ducks, geese, sheep and his beloved "boys" - miniature pinschers Jaxson and Diesel - on the family hobby farm. His mother Sandra Van Meer, his father George Van Meer (Roxanne), his sister Chantell (Chris), his maternal and paternal grandparents and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins are mourning him deeply.
Please share your photos and memories on the Chris Van Meer Memorial Page on Facebook. There will be a Celebration of Life at the Shirrocco Equestrian Farm at 213-240th Street in 91原创, on Sat. Nov. 22, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Dress warmly, preferable in a jersey to honour his love for hockey.
The family is collecting donations for a legacy in Chris' memory in lieu of flowers.
