Floyd Erik Reinfjell

Floyd Erik Reinfjell passed away peacefully on June 21, 2026, with his wife Adele, the love of his life, by his side. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, humour, and unwavering devotion to the people he loved.

Floyd is survived by and lovingly remembered by his mother, Ellinor; his sisters, Eileen (Denis) and Lil; his brother, Raymond; his beloved wife, Adele; his children: Dawson (Vanessa), Annika (Ian), Autumn, and Easton; his step-daughter Amelia (Em); his mother-in-law, Joanne; his brother in law, Tom Jr; as well as his treasured fur-baby girls, Ashlynn (“Ash”) and Abigail (“Abby”), whose love and companionship brought him comfort every day. He was a proud grandfather to Ian II and a cherished uncle to his nieces and nephews: Kevin, Mindy, Kayla, Tyson, Krystle, and Tanner. He is deeply loved and profoundly missed by them all, along with the many others whose lives were enriched by his steady presence and generous spirit.

As a child, Floyd inherited the nickname “Cookie,” inspired by the character Kookie from 77 Sunset Strip, who was known for constantly combing his hair—a habit young Floyd shared and one that endeared him to everyone who knew him.

Introduced to hockey at an early age, Floyd quickly distinguished himself as an exceptional talent, earning recognition as one of the top-rated goaltenders in British Columbia during his teenage years. His time in the crease shaped the qualities that defined him throughout his life: fearless, focused, and always ready to support his team.

His love of cars was undeniable. Whether he was behind the wheel of his Duster or Challenger, racing through the streets of Kitimat as a teen/young adult, it was always pedal to the metal—'let’s go'! Over the past year, Cookie often talked about getting another Challenger or Duster. It would have been wonderful to see that smile as he grabbed the shifter and sent it through the gears...pedal to the metal!

Naturally gifted in athletics, Floyd seemed to excel at every sport he played. He approached every game with enthusiasm, skill, and hard work. It was his hope that he would instill these same values and characteristics in his children, whom he loved dearly. While hockey remained his greatest passion, he also had a deep love for football and golf and always enjoyed sharing his time and skills on the greens with his sons. His voice was always filled with pride as he spoke of the involvement of all his children in the sports they played and naturally excelled in.

Floyd carried that same dedication into his professional life. He spent many years in the transportation industry, including operating his own business, where he earned a reputation for his reliability, strong work ethic, commitment to safety, and genuine respect for colleagues and customers alike.

Above all, Floyd will be remembered for his warmth, his easy smile, and the way he made everyone feel welcome. His family and friends will forever cherish his laughter, his gentle way of listening, and the comfort of knowing he was always in their corner.

At Floyd’s request only a small private celebration of life for immediate family will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family invites donations to a youth sports organization of your choice, helping provide opportunities for young athletes to enjoy the games Floyd loved throughout his life.

Deeply loved. Lovingly remembered. Forever missed.
