March 31, 1942 - August 1, 2017
Fondly remembered by old friends as Benny.
It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Merv. He was a wonderful, loving husband to Sunny and a proud father to beautiful daughters Aleezah and Melissah. Merv loved his only grandson, Axton (a mini-Merv), his granddogs Moby and Pickles. He is also survived by his brother and best friend, Jack (Judy); nieces and nephews Jennifer, Ricky, Suzy and their families and his long time friends, Patrick and Judy O'Mara and Randy Rayment, as well as numerous family and close friends.  
He was predeceased by his parents, Jack and Hazel, his sister Sharon, his mother-in-law Noby Suginobu.
His hobbies included music (played bass), hot rods - Mr. Gear Head, was a member of Sunshine Coast Drag Racing Club and Coasters Car Club. Merv was also skilled in wood working and ornate metal work much of which is displayed both inside and outside of his home. In addition, Merv was a past Master of Masonic Harbour Lodge #181, a member of the Royal Canadian Legion #112 and one of the founding members of the Pender Harbour Music School.
