Donald Earl Andres

In loving memory of our beloved husband, dad, and papa, it is with heavy hearts that we share his sudden passing. While we are deeply saddened, we find comfort in knowing that he is now safely in the arms of his Heavenly Father.

Donald Earl Andres was born on June 5, 1946 in Langley BC and passed away at the age of 80 on June 22, 2026 in Kamloops, BC.

Donald is survived by his wife of 56 years, Pamela Ann Andres; children Tonya Dyck (David) of West Kelowna, BC, Olivia Cyr (Joseph) of Penticton, BC, Rita Evison (Perry) of Kamloops, BC, John Andres (Traci) of Kettle Falls, WA; grandchildren Tyler Dyck (Shannon) of West Kelowna, BC, Michael Dyck (Sarah; daughter Julietta) of Kelowna, BC, Brittany Dyck of Kelowna, BC, Elizabeth Konynenberg (Malachi) of Penticton, BC, Lanaya Cyr of Penticton, BC, Brooke Smith (Tyler; son Marcus; daughter Callie) of Kamloops, BC, Tyra Evison (Blake) of Hope, BC, Noah Andres (Madyson) of Salem, OR, Eli Andres of Kettle Falls, WA, Madelyn Andres of Kettle Falls, WA; Siblings Richard Andres of Settler, AB, Gary Andres of Winnipeg, MB, Gene Andres of Abbotsford, BC and Randy Andres of Armstrong, BC.

Donald is predeceased by his parents Abram and Margaret (nee Giesbrecht) Andres and sibling Judy Wyne.

Donald built his career in sales, painting and professional bus driving but found his passion in his love of spending time with his family, volunteering and his involvement in his church. He touched countless lives through his steadfast kindness, generous spirit, warm sense of humor, and genuine love for others. His life was firmly rooted in the understanding of God's unconditional love. That truth shaped the way he lived each day - with purpose, grace, and a desire to love and serve others. His faith was the foundation of his life, and his greatest joy was sharing that love with everyone he met.

We invite all who knew and loved him to join us as we celebrate his life on Friday, July 3, at 1:00 p.m. at Immanuel Church (2950 Blue Jay Street, Abbotsford, BC V2T 5P5).
