CAMPBELL, Philip Campbell - 12-Apr-1968 - 4-Sep-2024

Philip Martin Campbell, was born in Kingston Jamaica on April 12th 1968. His physical body left us on September 4th 2024 at the age of 56, but his spirit and his memories will never leave us.

Philip was also known as Pops, Granddad, Big brother, Ropa, Joe and of course Big Joe to his family and friends. If you knew Phil, you knew his love of his Jamaican culture. He grew up in Kingston with his Mom and three siblings. He attended Campion college and became a champion himself while playing soccer. He was known throughout the neighborhood for his cartwheel size dumplings and his love for running boat (cooking outside with friends from the neighborhood). He loved everything that embodied Jamaica, from the music, to the food, to the people.

Philip emigrated to Canada in 1989 to live with his Dad and later became a Dad himself. He met a beautiful young lady in 1994 named Simone Blackson, they would go on to have a relationship that spans 2 decades. Collectively their greatest accomplishments were their sons Ezekiel and Israel Blackson-Campbell who were born in 1996 and 1998 respectively. Philip grew up alongside his boys, often telling us how happy he was to watch them grow up and become men themselves.

Philip loved his mother Joan Hudson, otherwise known as Momma Joe; he took care of her to his very end. Often omitting a haircut from his weekly routine because he couldn’t get his head right until Mom was secure. His friends all knew Momma Joe because she attended many functions along with him and his circle of friends would help to look out and care for her.

He was a man that loved to be impeccable dressed when going out with friends or family. You all remember, he was serious about his shoe game. I can hear the stories of how he would wipe his shoes off and then put them back in the box. Phil enjoyed a good party, a few drinks and countless hours on the dance floor. As he said “I love people, and people love me!”.

Philip became a grandfather in 2019 when his son Israel had a daughter named Nylah and then in 2023 his son Ezekiel made him a Grandfather for the second time when he had a son named Ezekiel Strength. Philip as a Dad was completely different as a grandfather, he turned into a playful, silly and loving Granddad to his two grandkids. He personified greatness as a big brother to his siblings in Canada and the States. Philip was also lovingly known as Uncle Philly to his 12 nieces and nephews.

Philip Martin Campbell will be missed by so many families, friends and co- workers. Big Joe took up a lot of space in our world, he was just “A big deal”.

Philip is survived by
His first love, friend and mother to his children Simone Blackson.
His 2 sons, Ezekiel and Israel Blackson-Campbell.
His 2 grandkids Nylah Blackson-Dwyer and Ezekiel Edward-Campbell (Philip’s 3rd grandchild will be born in the spring of 2025).

Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.

VALIQUETTE, Gwendolyn "Gwen" Irene Valiquette: 11-Mar-1940 - 30-Aug-2024

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down
in green pastures:
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul:
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.

Even, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for You are with me; Your rod and
Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house
of the LORD forever.

KNOWLES, Ian Thomas Knowles - 21-May-1946 - 26-Aug-2024

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Ian Thomas Knowles at Lakeridge Health Oshawa on August 26th, 2024, at the age of 78. His final days were spent surrounded by family and his sudden loss comes as a tremendous shock to us all.
Ian was born May 21st, 1946, to Earl and Helen Knowles (nee Duffin) in Toronto, Ontario. He took great pride in being the first grandson, enjoying many summers in his youth along the Bay Chaleur in Bathurst, New Brunswick with his family, grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Ian was an avid traveler and enjoyed taking road trips across Canada and the USA. It was on one of these trips where he met his wife Gloria Breiwick of Minneapolis, Minnesota on spring break in Daytona, Florida. After five years of navigating a long-distance romance in a time before the internet, they enjoyed 49 wonderful years together in marriage and raised their children Heather and Matthew.
Ian was a wiz with numbers which lead to 24 years with CIBC in the headquarters I.T. Data Center. He took on the role of a stay-at-home dad during the kids’ teenage years which gave him the opportunity to pursue his passion for umpiring baseball and softball in the local leagues for 20 years. Ian had a real love for sports and enjoyed playing hockey, bowling, and curling. Football was his favorite spectator sport, and he participated in various fantasy leagues throughout the years. He had a wonderful sense of humor, a knack for trivia, puzzles, and word games, and was an enthusiastic reader with a wonderfully diverse collection of books.

Ian was devoted to serving his community and dedicated his time to the Kinsmen and Kinette Club of Pickering where he wore many hats as president, treasurer, and Santa Clause parade organizer. He was involved as a Beaver and Cub leader for the 6th Pickering Scouts Group while Matthew was a member. Ian loved lobster rolls and considered being left-handed his superpower. He originated the “out-laws club” with Gloria’s side of the family and being birthday buddies with his aunt Mabel and daughter-in-law Lacey. His favorite saying was “if it hurts, don’t do it”, especially to Heather.

Ian was preceded by his parents, Earl and Helen, brother Allan, and sister-in-law Barb. He is survived by his wife Gloria, children Heather and Matthew, daughter-in-law Lacey, brother Dennis, and sisters-in-law Laura and Wendy. He was an amazing son, brother, husband, and father. Ian cherished his family and friends, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Our family would appreciate any memories you would like to share of him and consider a donation to the Purple Heart Project for wounded veterans.

Celebrations of life will be held in Pickering, Ontario and in Minneapolis, Minnesota with dates to be announced.

Friends and family are invited to visit at McEachnie Funeral Home
