We Remember

WESTGATE, Cecil Desmond (Des)

November 28, 1934 — December 2, 2016

Passed away on Friday, December 2, 2016 at the age of 82. Survived by his wife of 60 years, Iris; son Randy; daughter Wendy; grandchildren David, (Jocelyn), Mark (Sarah), Benjamin (Prisma), Landon and Adam; great grandchildren Diego and Alonso; sister Virginia (Austin) Beattie of Chetwynd, BC; brother Jim Westgate of Chetwynd, BC; sisters-in-law Moreen Westgate, Marguerite Westgate, Audrey Westgate, Lenita Westgate, June Westgate, a large extended family and many friends. Sadly predeceased by his grandson Lonnie and siblings Dean, Byron, Vernon (Stella), Alfred, Lyle, Marie (Dale) and Arthur. Des was a kind and gentle man who devoted his life to his wife and children. He was our rock, our heart and will be sadly missed. At Des’ request, there will be no service; those who knew him understood his wish for no fuss. A family gathering to celebrate his life will be held at a later date.

God saw you getting tired

When a cure was not to be,

So He closed his arms

Around you and whispered,

“Come To Me.”

 

You didn’t deserve what

You went through

And so He gave you rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful,

He only takes the best.

 

And when we saw you sleeping

So peaceful and free from pain,

We could not wish you back

To suffer that again.
