LOMAX, Edward “Ross” Lomax

LOMAX, Edward “Ross”   – 1928 – 2023

The great ride, filled with fun, adventure, and the inevitable challenges is now complete.

After a long and wonderful life, Ross died peacefully, in his own home, on June 22, 2023, just shy of his 95th Birthday.

Predeceased by his wife of 60 years, Betty, left to enjoy his dry wit, long detailed stories of past adventures, and an endless assortment of shared memories are children, Cathy Wilson (Scott), Sharon Quevillon (Claude, predeceased), Tim Lomax (Christine); grandchildren, Brendon, Erin, Matthew, Andrew, Daniel, Hannah, Cam; great-grandchildren, Bennett, Lucas, Evelyn; brother, Gord Lomax (Mary); and many extended relatives and cherished friends.

Devoted husband and family man, loyal friend, skilled tradesman, sportsman (skier, golfer, curler, hockey player,) worldwide traveller, history buff, photographer, voracious reader, gardener, joke teller, fixer of anything broken, and a tireless coach to all those professional athletes who somehow never listened, as he yelled instruction into the TV.

The family wishes to thank Lualhati Hopular (Luo) for her devoted, loving care and companionship to dad over the past few years. You made it possible for him to stay in his home, live a full life on his own terms.

We are forever thankful.

At Ross’s request, there will be no funeral, but a celebration of his well-lived life will be held at a later date.

If you wish to honour Ross, hoist a beer at 4 p.m. (his daily ritual), “get out and make the most of life – it’s over so quickly” (his words), or make a donation to the Scott Mission for those not as fortunate as Ross.
