Remembering Wells 鈥淢iles鈥� Tony Gallagher
September 13, 1977 鈥� June 1, 2015
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Wells 鈥淢iles鈥� Tony Gallagher. Wells had touched the life and hearts of many during his 37 years on earth and will be greatly missed by all his family, that included the family he grew up with, his family who knew him as Miles, in the downtown core of 91原创 city and all those who regularly stopped to give him a helping hand, a comforting word, a coffee or a sandwich. Wells grew up in a house full of people, noise, love and happiness. He and his best friend 鈥淪anta Bear鈥� came to us as a young child. He added much laughter to our home with his incredible sense of humor, pranks and jokes. He milked cows, rode horses, looked after pigs and spent hours with his favorite possessions Santa Bear and his tabby cat 鈥淏oots鈥�. He experienced many joyful family events, played hockey, went to summer camps, travelled but his favorite were the lazy days of summer when he and his family went camping for weeks at a time. He was soft spoken and gentle, had a keen sense of humor and showed love and compassion for all who crossed his path. He never focused on his own life problems but was there to give support and a helping hand to others.. Always a big smile! The family would like to thank the IHIT team, 91原创 RCMP, Victim Services, Event Coordinator Heather Ashfield, Christian Life Assembly, First Memorial Funeral Services, The 91原创 Times, Vancouver Sun and most importantly, you the community of 91原创, who have rallied around our family at this devastating time and had rallied around Wells for many years... We love you all.... A Celebration of Life will be held for Wells at Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56th Avenue, 91原创 on July 9, 2015 at 2:00 PM. For those requiring transportation, a bus will pick up at Gateway of Hope at 1:00 PM and take those attending back to Gateway of Hope at the end of the Celebration of Life... The family hopes all of the community will join with them to celebrate Well鈥檚 (Miles) life here on earth. In lieu of flowers the family request that contribution be made to 鈥淢ILES BACKBACKS鈥� at Christian Life Assembly or you can call CLA to donate at 604-530-7344 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm).
