Frank Dale Trenholm December 7, 1947. - November 30, 2021
A Division of Service Corporation International (Canada) ULC
It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Frank Dale Trenholm, age 73. Frank passed away unexpectedly following a cardiac arrest, at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, BC, on November 30th, 2021. He is predeceased by his wife of 49 years, Martina Trenholm, and survived by his daughters Vanessa Trenholm, of Merritt, BC, and Danica Trenholm, of Kelowna, BC. Frank had also recently become engaged to Maureen McGee, of Prince George, BC. Frank was fit and active, having recently rediscovered his love for long hikes. He had just moved to Prince George following his retirement in September and was planning his wedding. He retired after decades of serving the community of Merritt, first as a forest fire fighter and fire chief for the Ministry of Forests, then a fire management instructor at NVIT, and most recently as the Transportation Manager of the Merritt Transit Society. Many might also fondly remember Frank and his wife Martina’s catering business which operated in the Nicola Valley for over 30 years. Frank had a philosopher’s soul and loved nothing more than a lively conversation with his friends or family. A celebration of Frank’s life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers please make any donations in Frank’s name to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared below for the Trenholm family. Arrangements entrusted to the care of Glenhaven Memorial Chapel, 1835 East Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/en-ca/obituaries/vancouver-bc/franktrenholm-10485992
Edwin Larry Kirk August 29, 1941 - December 28, 2021 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Edwin Larry Kirk. Ed passed away peacefully in Merritt BC on December 28th 2021. Known to many as Larry, he was born in New Westminster BC on August 29th 1941. Ed was known as being a hard worker all of his adult life who loved every job that he had. Ed followed many career paths from long haul truck driving through the U.S and Canada, cattle ranching in the BC Interior, logging in Merritt BC to owning and operating his own Sawmill that he did alongside his son Joe. He could always be found tinkering in his shop and finding many different tasks that kept him busy. He was predeceased by his parents Charles and Gertrude and brother Lloyd. Ed is survived by his loving wife Sheila of 53 years, his children Joe (Nicho), Matt (Donnel) and his granddaughters Bryleigh and Shae. Those that knew Ed knew he was a man of many words and in his own words: “ED IS DEAD – Edwin Larry Kirk is gone. I would like to thank my best friends that stayed with me to the end: Les, Matt, Rick, and the ones I love the most, my wife Sheila, Sons – Joe (Nicho), Matt (Donnel), and Granddaughters Bryleigh and Shae. To all my good friends that laughed and joked with me over the years – thank you. To those that screwed me over and you know who you are, I cannot wait to see you good for nothings when it comes to your turn. Sincerely Ed Kirk aka Larry.”

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE & WEEP BY MARY FRYE (1932) Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry.
