Vernon Elliott October 1958-August 2023
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of a wonderful husband, father, and “papa”. Vern was taken from us suddenly. He was a long-time resident of Aldergrove and over the years he was involved in many organizations such as president of Aldergrove Minor Baseball, president of Parkside PAC, Scout Leader, and an on-call firefighter to name a few. He was taken from us far too young and will be soulfully missed. He is survived by his wife of 44 years Evelyn, his son Brandon (Heather), daughter Chelsea (Jeff), daughter Amanda (Dan), and his beloved grandchildren, Olivia, Abigail, Jordyn, Edward, Quinlyn, and other members of his immediate family. There will be no service at Vern’s request.

Dear Ev and family, I just heard and I’m so sorry for your loss! No words. Always a smile and a “hi” when I bumped into him at the store or anywhere. Too soon. Thinking of you all Ev…
Leslie and I were saddened to hear about the passing away of Vern. I have many memories of your husband beginning with scouting and ending as friends I will always have fond memories of him and his family Darrell and Leslie Moore
Dear Ev and family, My deepest sympathies and condolences for your loss. I know how much Vern meant to you, your kids and grandkids and hope that precious memories of him will help during this difficult time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love Tika and family ❤️
Dear Evelyn and family , Vern was the best brother in law ever. We will miss his smile and laughter . His good nature and willingness to help out in all situations. No camping trip or family gathering will be the same but his spirit will reside in us forever. Love , Sandy & Nick Newell
We will miss you buddy. So sad. We will tip a glass for you at the Quadra Island camp out. It won’t be the same without you and Ev.

Evelyn and family, we send you our deepest condolences. Co- worked with Vern at Aldergrove Safeway. He had me do a piece of artwork about the “St. Bernard coming out of the cat door” to bring into the birthing room, when his/your grand daughter was being born. I remember how hard he laughed when he first saw the drawing, and Evelyn, I will never forget the beautiful huge bouquet of flowers and card you both gave me as a Thankyou. So very sorry for your family’s loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Christine and Lawrence
Ev and family, Vern was a wonderful human ❤ loved by many always working for the good of people. My family and I will miss his smile, his laughter at Halloween, and Christmas after his house was decorated (first on the street ) RIP MY FRIEND TILL WE MEET AGAIN. THE YARYCH FAMILY
With a loss so great, there are simply no words to ease the pain. If there were, I would use them now. Please know we are there for you all. Sending our condolences to the family. He was such a great man and had a heart of gold. The memories will be there forever, The Dale Family xoxo
Ev and family ❤️ Vern was not just a friend; he was one of the good guys, someone who touched the lives of many with his kindness, generosity, and unwavering support. As I reflect back on my memories I am reminded of the impact he had on those around him. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him. ❤️
Oh Ev, I am so sorry to hear of Vern’s passing. He was a terrific person with a generous smile. I know you will all miss him terribly. My deepest sympathies to you all. Janice
