Leif Mjanes Obituary
The family of Leif Mjanes wishes to announce his peaceful passing at home in Gibsons, BC on September 2nd, 2024.
Leif was a devoted (grand)father, teacher and coach who will be dearly missed by his family and his many friends.
Leif was born and raised in Burnaby, BC where he attended Burnaby South High School (class of 1967). He graduated from Simon Fraser University where he made lifelong friends on the football field as an offensive lineman, and where he met the love of his life Nicki. They married in 1971 and three years later moved to tranquil Brooks Cove on the Sunshine Coast. They eventually settled in Roberts Creek where they spent the next three decades raising their four children.
For more than 20 years, “MJ» was a beloved teacher and colleague at Chatelech Secondary School in Sechelt where he taught math, PE and coached many teams. He was a respected leader at the collective bargaining table and a life long learner, proudly earning his master’s degree in Education from SFU in 1998.
Leif’s generous and fun loving spirit endeared him to many lifelong friends on the Sunshine Coast. He was a dedicated member of the Gibsons Pigs Rugby Club, a fixture of Sunshine Coast youth soccer, and a proud Creeker. For the last 30 years of his life, Leif lived courageously with MS. Throughout this journey he was carried by his incredible spirit, determination and selflessness. In retirement, Leif loved swimming lengths at the Gibsons Pool, catching up with his regular coffee buddies and sharing stories with his favourite audience: his grandkids.
Leif was predeceased by his parents, Olaf and Pearl. He is survived by his brother Earl (Sherron), and his children Michael (Oana), Erik (Kate), Brett (Lora), Karin (Blake) and his nine beloved grandchildren. Leif’s family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks and deep appreciation to the staff at Christensen Village and Sechelt Hospital.
A gathering for family and friends will be held in the near future, date and venue to be announced. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
