Terrance Glenn Hamel, passed away unexpectedly on April 20th, 2023, at Broadmead Lodge. He was 67 years young, born in Vancouver on November 3rd, 1955.
Terry leaves behind his loving wife Sandra Caunce, his stepchildren Jason French (Jessica) and Jaclynne French and his adoring grandchildren Addison, Alayna, Campbell, Colter. Terry is also survived by older brother Lloyd (Sandra), twin sister Beverly Mathieson (Ron) and younger sister Debbie (Jeanne) as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.
Terry grew up in Richmond BC. After graduating from high school, he obtained a civil engineering degree from UBC in 1979. His civil engineering career saw him delivering many construction projects in Alberta and BC with him settling in Victoria where he worked on many Vancouver Island infrastructure projects.
As much as Terry enjoyed his professional career his life passions were family, horses, skiing and scotch whisky. Terry’s love of horses started at a young age in Richmond where along with his twin sister and father Ernie participated in local gymkhanas right through university. After graduation wherever his professional career took him, his horses followed.
Terry learned to ski at Mount Seymour graduating to Whistler during his university days. His skiing adventures took him around the world, from skiing the alps in Europe with John to patrolling the mountain at Fernie with Mike and even volunteering as a member of the first aid team at the Calgary Olympics.
His passion for the mountains didn’t end at the ski hill, spending countless days exploring Kananaskis Country, the Nicola Valley, and the rest of southern B.C. on his favourite horses Kokanee and Sabino with his wife Sandy, always making sure they never got lost.
A highlight of every new year was Terry’s hosting of a whisky fest with a dozen of his like-minded compatriots.
Terry never backed down from a challenge, whether it was a cliff jump while cat skiing or navigating the terrain of the Rocky Mountains on a horse. He brought that attitude to his toughest fight of all with Parkinson’s Disease, never letting it take away his zest for life. He loved looking through old photos and reminiscing with friends, always cherishing the memories of friends and family and their adventures.
We would like to thank the staff at Broadmead Veteran’s Lodge for caring for Terry this last year and a half.
Should you choose to leave an expression of remembrance, please consider a donation to Fernie Adaptive Snowsport, Therapeutic Riding or the Parkinson Canada Society.
A Celebration of Terry’s Life will be held at 2:00 pm, on Thursday, May 4, 2023, in the Sequioa Centre, at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC.
