Roy Lee Westlind passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, November 3rd in Kelowna, BC at the age of 59. Roy was born on August, 27 1959 in Burnaby BC to Laurence and Bessie Westlind, with 4 older siblings, Maria, Ed, Charlie and Lynnea. In 1967 Laurence, Bessie, Lynnea and Roy moved to Westbank, to the little community of Green Bay. Roy grew up there, meeting his future wife Debbie when he was 15 and she was 16, and making life long friends. After graduating from KSS, Roy and Debbie married in 1980 and moved to Vancouver and then Vancouver Island where Lynnea and Cody were born. In 1985 the family of 4 returned to West Kelowna and Bailey was born 4 years later. Roy was a Journeyman Carpenter and spent almost every minute outside of work, outside. Hiking, biking, skiing, running the dogs, camping, fishing and taking the family on adventures that usually ended with a crazy story or two to tell. Adding grandchildren Rory and Emi into the mix, “Grandpa” continued his tradition of spending time outside, walking, bike riding and hitting up the beach. Roy was an avid animal lover, spending years volunteering with dog rescues and bringing home new pets every time he walked in the door. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the SPCA or Arion Therapeutic Farm.
