Karel Velikovsky

November 2, 1952 – October 10, 2025

Smiling man holding a bottle outdoors.

passed away peacefully surrounded by family after an 8-year fight with cancer. Born in Kromeriz, Czech Republic, he moved to Canada in 1968 with his parents and 1 suitcase, fleeing war: full of stories from an incredible life. A skilled electrician and renowned builder, crafting over 20 homes in Greater Victoria. An adventurous, hard working, outdoorsman – hiking, fishing, traveling and skiing even while battling cancer. He left behind his wife of 44 years, Vanessa; children, Jay (Jessica), Kyle (Ashley), and Chelsie (George); 7 cherished grandchildren; sisters, Jarmila Werbick and Bohumila Kerjcirik, and countless others. The definition of young at heart, he will be deeply missed.

Join us to celebrate his life on Sunday, October 26th at 2:00pm in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria BC V8Y 1B4.
