We Remember

Davidson, Ernie

January 1, 1970 — January 1, 1970

 

After a courageous battle with cancer, Ernie Davidson passed away with family by his side on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 at the age of 62 years. Ernie was married to the love of his live Carolyn for 39 years; was a loving and involved father to Jennifer Pigeon (Chuck) and Madelyn Davidson (Mike Stewart); a doting and most amazing grandfather to Kyle, Taylor, Blake and Kensley Pigeon and Breanna Davidson, all of Williams Lake, BC; brother to Lillian Davidson of Port Alberni and Jean Gardner (Ian) of New Zealand and uncle to his nieces and nephew. Sadly predeceased by his parents Don and Rae Davidson. Ernie was a compassionate and giving man, always ready to help fill a need. Ernie not only had a soft spot in his heart for pets but also had a passion for hunting and participating in trap events with his grandchildren. A private graveside service will be held and a public Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. In his memory, donations may be made to the SPCA, 709 Bond Lake Road, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 4Y3 or the WL Sportsman’s Association (Box 4097, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 2V2).

    Sorry to hear of Ernie’s passing. I enjoyed working with Ernie in the BCFS and we stayed in touch after retirement. Peggy and I enjoyed his visits to Vernon and it was obvious he was very devoted to his grandchildren. We enjoyed the annual swap of wine for moose meat every fall. Ernie fought his cancer bravely and without complaint.

    Although i did not know Ernie all that well, we did have a common connection. I knew of him mostly thru our common employer, the BC Forest Service communications section. My sincere condolences go out to to his family for this untimely loss.

    We are so sorry that Ernie passed, way too early. Our thoughts are with you Carolyn, and the rest of the family, as well. We enjoyed Ernie’s matter of fact manner, and working with him for the WLSA. He always was ready with a smile. Very sincerely, Wayne and Val

    It is with shock and sadness that learned of Ernie’s passing. Ernie worked together for over 15 years and was highly respected. An amazing employee to the BCFS and always ready for a good technical discussion.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of huge loss.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
