George, BC, surrounded by his family. He was predeceased by his wife of
52 years, Arvilla Lewis, in 2015; brother Jim Silver, mother Jeanette Silver,
father Bill Silver, and step-mother Edith Silver.
Jere was born in Vanderhoof, BC, where he spent his youth. He was
especially close to his brother Jim, sister-in-law Olive, and their children
Rick (Liza), Terri (Gerry), Tom (Taya), and Steve (Leslie).
Jere and Arvilla raised their family and spent most of their married life
in Fort St. James, BC, where Jere worked for Apollo Forest Products as
a fork lift driver. Jere and Arvilla nurtured many close friendships in
their community and throughout BC. They spent many summers at the
family cabin in Stuart Lake, and travelled in their trailer to visit family and
friends. They were very involved in the Stuart Lake Seniors Rec Centre.
With increasing health challenges in the last 3 years of his life, Jere made
Simon Fraser Lodge his home. He never lost his beautiful smile, his
endearing whistle, and kind, gentle nature.
No service by request.
The family would like to thank Dr. Grant Wooldridge and the wonderful
staff at Simon Fraser Lodge for their compassionate care.
Donations may be made to the Simon Fraser Lodge Family Council Fund.
Son: Barry (Charitini) Silver; Daughter: Shari (Jamie) Uhrich; Grandsons:
