Roger and I were googling Calvin’s name today to invite him to a reunion party of our group of friends from the 90s in Saskatoon. We were very sad to learn of his death four years ago today. Although we hadn’t talked with Calvin for years it’s still very hard to accept. He was such a kind and authentic person. The world is missing a great guy.
RIP Calvin,
Beth

I always told Cal that I would have no idea that he has passed because we have no common people. i told him to give my number to his mom, of course he didn't! Cal was one of my very closest friends. We kept in touch always. Over the past year I had been trying to get a hold of him, it was unlike him not to respond. My gut told me he was gone, but I couldn't bring myself to google it. Today, I was ready and I found his obituary. i have been crying and crying. We met when I was 18. wow, I've known him over 20 years! I was in a cult and he was the one that encouraged me to leave, he made me feel brave, he believed in me. He was the one constant friend I have had through all the different stages of my life. He knew me in the cult, before university, we stayed connected as I travelled, after I was married and had kids. Every time we were together, we would drink coffee, walk the dogs, talk about life, then meet up again many months later. Even after we both left Saskatoon, we kept in contact by phone. I got a puppy recently. I sent him emails and texts.....when he didn't respond, i knew. He loved dogs more than people. I have a lot of stories about him. We laughed ALOT and I had met my match in debate. He was kind and loyal and sarcastic. He made me feel brave about big decisions and never judged me when I messed up. It didn't matter that we disagreed on many things, we were somehow bound beyond all logic. I could tell him anything. He really knew me, better than most people. i knew him very well and I can't believe my friend is gone:-(. This has actually hit me harder than anyone else I have lost. The fact it's been over a year....I hate that, but I couldn't bring myself to google sooner...I just kept telling myself he was busy. If anyone knows how it happened, i would appreciate some closure. My email is kendelchristy@gmail.com
RIP my dearest friend,
You will always be in my heart,
your friend, Christy ( who will outlast any argument into eternity)

I became fast friends with Cal when he lived in Saskatoon. Weekends were spent watching movies and playing games. He was always so much fun to be around, joking an laughing. I remember one year where he was determined to only wear shorts for the entire winter. I'll miss him and am thankful I got to know him.

Calvin was my firstborn and I loved him dearly. He will be missed so much and will always be in my heart. When in Lloydminster, I shared memories with his friends and Co-workers, it was bittersweet for all of us. We had tears and we had laughs, which is what Calvin would have wanted. I thank Everyone there for being so kind and helpful in helping me prepare for Calvin’s last trip home to B.C. In the spring a tree will be planted for Calvin, in Dawson Creek, where he grew up. I’m thankful for all the love and support shown by family and friends for the loss of Calvin.

Going to Canadian Tire will not be the same any more,going to the gun desk and talking in between customers because I would let you do your job that you were so good at. You taught me so much about guns there was not a question that i would ask that you did not know,i would go to Canadian Tire after my work just so I could talk to you I enjoyed your company we would talk about plans we would have or talk about the last trip we had shooting gophers or new areas we found.
Calvin I miss you now I have no one to share my stories to and my hunting buddy is gone wish you were still here Love your buddy Dixon.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to Calvin's family. Calvin was a great friend and one of the most genuine people I have ever known. I consider myself very fortunate to have known him during his time in Lloydminster. I will always remember our days at the range or time spent scouring central Alberta looking for gophers. Calvin will be missed and remembered.
