SECORD, Denver David
February 25, 1921 - April 2, 2015
It is with much sadness that we mourn the loss of Captain Denver Secord. He passed away peacefully at the age of 94 in 91原创 Lodge on Thursday, April 2, 2015. Denver was born and raised in Athabasca, Alberta. In his late teens, he "rode the rails" out to Vancouver in search of a new life. He settled in Prince Rupert where he established himself as a successful commercial fisherman. Later, he moved his growing family to West 91原创, as he continued to fish. He retired in his fifties with the love of his life, Iris, and they moved to Oliver where they lived for 32 years. While in Oliver, he became an avid golfer and curler and an inventor, earning himself two patents in the process. Denver is survived by his wife Iris (a marriage that lasted nearly 68 years); 3 children, Carol (Joe), David (Sharon), Bob (Pamela), 6 grandchildren, Paul (Bronia), Andrew (Jennifer) Suzanne (Jeff), Ryan, Peter (Amanda), Eric (Janine), 6 great grandchildren, brother Ritchie (Lupita), and numerous nieces, nephews, and in-laws. Services will be held for Denver at Graham Funeral Home, 5920 Kooteney St., Oliver at 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 18th. After the internment in the Oliver cemetery, refreshments will be served at the Elks Hall, 477 Bank Ave, Oliver. In lieu of flowers please consider a charitable donation to the Citadel Canine Society which provided dogs to assist in the recovery from PTSD by our returning Veterans and the RCMP.
