With great sadness we announce the passing of our eldest brother, Mark. Mark died suddenly on Tuesday, February 21, 2017, aged 74. He was born in Victoria on August 8, 1942, of the late Daniel Francis Paine and Edith Muriel Paine. He is predeceased by his sister, Dana Gerela; his brothers, Michael and Daniel; his two sisters-in-law, Carroll Paine and Maureen Paine; his brother-in-law, Kent Neely of Calgary. He is survived by his siblings, Mara, Sandra, Robert (Lynn), David (Diane), Nicola (Richard), Stephen, and Paul and many nieces and nephews. In his later years, he resided in McBride, B.C. where he made and leaves many friends. Mark will be greatly missed by all of us. He was baptized at Queen of Peace, and confirmed and received first Communion at St. Andrew’s Cathedral.
In Grade 6 Mark left school to work as a Telegraph Delivery Boy to help support his parents and younger siblings. Later he worked as a Labourer, Bricklayer’s Assistant and Bricklayer. Among the buildings he helped to complete or restore are Christ Church Cathedral, Camosun College, Victoria High School, Craigdarroch Castle, in Victoria, and the Marine Building in Vancouver. It was said that only Mark and his co-worker, Gail Ogilvie, were able to make peace with the nesting seagulls high up on the Marine Building. A slow and methodical person, Mark always took pride in his work. One of his enduring gifts is the massive three-story fireplace he built for the log house of his brother, Robert and his sister-in-law, Lynn. He loved hunting, fishing and being in the wilderness.
A viewing and prayers will be offered at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 19, 2017.
