Obituary of Trevor William Lew Crouse
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved Father, Grandfather, Brother and Friend; Trevor William Lew Crouse, on November 22, 2019 in Quesnel, BC, at G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital. After facing his cancer recurrence with dignity and courage, he lost the battle against a very aggressive form of Non- Hodgkinson’s Lymphoma.
Born on September 23, 1944 in Sheridan, Manitoba, Trevor was raised on Vancouver Island in Cedar, B.C and in Vancouver, B.C. In 1961, Trevor joined the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), becoming a Corporal and studying the trade to become a plumber Gas Fitter. He leaves us with many wonderful memories of his fun-loving zest for life, his sense of humor, his friendliness and helpfulness to all. Trevor enjoyed nature and being in the outdoors: fishing, golfing, camping, gardening, curling, baseball, walking. He loved learning new skills and knowledge and patiently teaching others his handyman ways. Trevor was also an avid volunteer in his community where he lived, Fraser Village. Going from a resident that enjoyed helping others out with his vast knowledge in managerial, plumbing, and handyman skills, to being Vice President and onto President. He was the kind of person to give you the shirt off his back, always offering a hand to assist in any way. His kindness, love, and guidance will indeed be missed.
He will live on in the hearts of his beloved family. He is survived by his daughters; Karla Hartridge (Dustin) & Kaaralee Carlson; sons Brent Crouse and Bradley Crouse; grandchildren Liam, Nicholas, Brendan, Justin, Ciara, Kiana, and Chase; siblings: twin sister Trudy Bentley (Willard); oldest Sister Donna Hewson (Ron); special friend and companion Madeline Pitzel, many nieces, nephews and dear friends. Trevor is predeceased by his wife Mabel Louise Crouse (nee Gill), father Manley Crouse, his mother Winnifred (nee Phipps), middle sister Carol Snowden and brother-in-law Ronald Snowden.
Trevor leaves behind a proud and grateful family who will miss him dearly. We’d like to give a heartfelt thanks to Dr. Helene Smith, Dr. Ahamed Aziz, Dr. Gavin Grapes, and Dr. Jonathan Fine and all the nurses and medical staff that took such wonderful care of Trevor both inside the hospital and out.

Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day.
