We Remember

CHAPUT, Paul

May 5, 1948 — February 7, 2025

Our beloved Paul Chaput passed away on February 7, 2025, in Rock Creek, British Columbia, at the age of 76. His memory will be cherished by his loving wife of 51 years, Betty Chaput; and his son, Terry Wallace Chaput. He is now reunited with his parents and brother Terry

Born on May 5, 1948, in Vernon, British Columbia, Paul was raised in the close-knit community of Lumby, BC, where his family was deeply rooted in the logging industry. Following in their footsteps, Paul worked as a logger and truck driver.

In June 1968, Paul answered the call to public service by joining the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, serving with dedication. For 14 years, he wore the red serge and kept the peace. During this time, on April 6, 1974, he married the love of his life, Betty, and together they built a life filled with love and welcomed their son.  In June 1982 Paul retired from the RCMP, and they then moved to Rock Creek, BC. There, they purchased a dolomite quarrying operation and integrated into their community, building relationships that have enriched their lives from then on.

Dear Paul:
You were the guiding light of our lives, and we wish that you were still here to guide us through our everyday with your wisdom.
Although we cannot hear your voice or see your smiling face, we know deep down in our hearts that you have not left us.
Instead, every day you surround us with the singing of the birds, the rising of the sun and the falling of night.

Family and friends will honour him, each in their own way. No formal service will be held.
