It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Calvin Wade Lush. Calvin passed away peacefully at home. Calvin was originally from Bay Roberts, Newfoundland and moved to Yellowknife on June 15, 1983. Throughout the years Calvin worked various jobs, mostly construction, mining and finally with Darryl’s Shuttle Services which he thoroughly enjoyed. Calvin was a quiet and simple man who loved his family dearly. Calvin thoroughly enjoyed the cabin, fishing, hunting, or just being in the outdoors. We’ll all miss and love you forever. May the fire keep burning for you. Calvin was predeceased by parents Pearse and Flora Lush and sister Edith Wareham and brother-in-law Clarence Wareham. Calvin leaves behind with fond and loving memories, his wife Jeanette, son Brendan (Kaitlin), brothers Lloyd (Josephine) of Yellowknife, Roy (Lorraine ) of Colliers, NL, sister Barbara (Johnny) Paradise, NL, brother-in-law Wayne Kennedy (Pauline) of Spaniards Bay, NL, aunts, uncles, numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Calvin also had a very close group of friends. The family would like to send a thank you to Dr. Ayoubi, the doctors and nurses at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton, the paramedics, doctors and nurses at the Stanton Hospital in Yellowknife. A special thank you to the homecare nurses in Yellowknife that visited Calvin. Cremation has already taken place and there will be a private family celebration of life at a later date.
“Cheers to you!”
