It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Angus Morrison Currie in Kamloops, BC on the morning of Dec 20, 2020. Angus is survived by his loving of wife 57 years, Jacolyn, their children Anne Louise Currie, (Ellen), Gail Markin (Tony), Diane Currie Sam (Randy), Iain Currie (Lisa), Donna Curdyk (Mike), 10 grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Angus and Mary Margaret, and his brother Archie.

Angus was a gentle and loving man who touched the lives of many with his quick wit, infectious humour and kind soul. Born in Prince Rupert, BC on Sept 3,1930, he was the son of Scottish immigrants and grew up on the shores of the Skeena River at the Claxton Cannery during fishing seasons, and in Vancouver in the off-season.

A graduate of Vancouver College and the University of British Columbia (B.Comm), he and his wife Jacolyn moved to Kamloops after their marriage in 1963, where they raised their children and owned and operated several successful car dealerships. He was a community-minded businessman who was active in the Rotary Club, the Kinsmen and Sacred Heart Parish.

Angus was a storyteller with a poet’s soul who regaled his family and friends with his wonderfully colourful and funny stories, and his repertoire of quotes, quips and anecdotes. He made the world seem funnier, brighter and more interesting. Most importantly, he made us feel loved and welcomed in his home and heart. He will be forever missed.

A private funeral was held on Tues, Dec 22, 2020 at Holy Family Catholic Church in Kamloops, BC.

A celebration of life will be held next year when it is safe to do so, and we can gather in the spirit of love, family and friendship and celebrate a man who lived a profoundly beautiful life and left us a legacy of love.
