Gerry was born August 24, 1945 in Lac La Biche, Alberta. He and his wife, Dona resided in Yarrow, BC for the last 25 years where they bred and raised horses, which raced at Cloverdale Race Track. Gerry also had a passion for trains and always had plenty of stories we all enjoyed hearing. Gerry worked at CN Railways and as a longshoreman, both for over 20 years. Gerry was predeceased by his parents, John and Violet Mitchell, his brother Gilbert Mitchell, and one sister at infancy.
Gerry is survived by his wife, Dona and stepchildren; Jocelyn (Colin) and their children Luke and Ryan; Jacquelyn (Clay) and their children Noah and Beckham; Geoffrey (Jennifer) and their children Ava, Ella and Clara; as well as Gerry’s siblings, Charlotte (Larry) Hall, Shirley Sackman as well as many nieces and nephews. Gerry will be greatly missed by his family and friends. A private graveside service is to be held on December 22/22 at Yarrow Cemetery. The family would like to thank the Doctors and nurses at both Chilliwack Hospital and Abbotsford Regional Hospital for the care Gerry received the last few months.
