On November 12, 2013 Karl passed away peacefully at home in the loving arms of his soul mate and best friend of 40 years, Linda.

Karl was born in New Westminster, British Columbia on July 6, 1950. Over Karl's 63 years on earth he worked hard, raised a family, and enjoyed the blessings of life.

He will be joyfully remembered by his wife Linda, his four daughters: Selina (Kevin), Dawn (Moroni), Shanda (Scott), Amber (Brody), his furry companion Tuff Dog; his ten grandchildren; his brother Wally (Wanda), sister Pam, extended family and close friends.

Karl was predeceased by his father Patrick Jonas; mother Winifred Joyal; and his granddaughter Kylie.

Karl's biggest passion was his family; they were his world. He took great pride in "his girls". Every Christmas and Birthday when asked what he wanted, without fail he would reply, "Just the Love of my family...and 50's and 100's!" He was full of witty comments, and quick to make people laugh.

His cherished memories are camping and fishing with his family, hunting with friends, going to the cinema, entertaining trips to Mexico, and spending quality time over a great meal with loved ones.

Karl's quirky smile and the sound of his laughter is what will be missed most. His presence was illustrious, his love was radiant, and his spirit was larger than life.

Karl's wishes were for no service.
