Darshan Singh Puni

It is with the deepest sadness we wish to announce the passing of our father, Darshan Singh Puni, on November 15, 2018. Darshan passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at Trinity Hospice. Darshan was born in Bassoli, India on April 2, 1938 and immigrated to Canada in 1963. He began a long career in the lumber industry in 1967 with Weyerhaeuser and retired in 2003. Darshan loved his job, co-workers, and believed work being more as of a social gathering with friends. Darshan cherished his lasting and meaningful relationships that he was able to create in his 36 years of working. Darshan’s passions included working outdoors in his garden in the summers and travelling to India with friends in the winters. His greatest passion was his six grandchildren whom he loved to spend time with and share his adoration of them with others. Darshan is survived by his wife of 57 years Gian Kaur Puni, sons: Balbir (Pardeep) and Kalbir (Taranpreet), brothers: Gurmail (Satwant) and Dilbag (Pashwinder) Puni, sisters: Hardev Kaur (Hardev) Thendal and Swaran Kaur (Mangat) Khabra, six grandchildren: Subhnique, Ravipal, Harpal, Kaashi, Arun and Varan and many loving nieces and nephews. Darshan is predeceased by his parents: Bhattan Singh and Isher Kaur Puni and brother Kuldip Singh Puni. The Puni Family would like to express our gratitude to all the health care services provided during our father’s last stages of his life. A special thank you to the staff at Trinity Hospice and Dr. Wiltshire for their exceptional care. Funeral will be held at Schoening Funeral Services, 513 Seymour St., Kamloops, B.C. on Saturday, November 24, 2018 at 11:00 A.M.
