December 23, 1959 – January 5, 2016
Tim Kirby passed away peacefully on January 5, 2016 with family and close friends by his side at his home in Gibsons, BC. He was “dreaming of the islands” a few hours before he passed. Tim is survived by his wife Marion, his father Mike, his brother John, and his two children, Michael and Brittany. He loved the birds, the ocean and gardening. Tim was a loving husband, father and friend who fostered our admiration of the outdoors, inspired us to deepen our understanding of the world, and encouraged our constant positivity despite the circumstances. Tim will be greatly missed.  
The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Berinstein, Dr. Wadge, the Sunshine Coast Home Care Nurses, the VGH medical and nursing staff and the Gibsons community for their compassion and support.  
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Tim’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society.  
A Celebration of Life will be held with family and friends at the Gibsons Public Market on Saturday, February 13 from 2:00 to 6:00pm, in the community where Tim’s love of the ocean was most appreciated.
