November 17, 1953 — September 21, 2023

Sadly, we announce that on Thursday, September 21, 2023, Ernie Philpott, a lifelong Kelowna, BC resident, passed away. Ernie was a hard-working logger, dedicated father, papa, and friend. He lived life to the fullest. He followed a “work hard, play hard, and live fast” lifestyle.

Ernie is reunited with his kid brother, Chuck Philpott; his sister, Janet; and his parents, Charlie & Betty, who predeceased him. He will be deeply missed by his daughter, whom he loved dearly, Shayin Philpott, as well as his beloved granddaughter, Paisley Philpott. He is also survived by siblings Ralph (Kay) Philpott, Carol-Lea Philpott, Joan Philpott, and Anne (Bob) Howell, along with his wonderful nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2023, at 1:00 PM, at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.
