Niels Ejler Beach

We are saddened to announce the passing of our father and grandfather, Niels, who passed away peacefully with his family by his side. Niels was born in Sarslev, Denmark, immigrating to Northern British Columbia with his parents Ivan and Asta at the age of six. Niels grew up at Summit Lake, where his parents owned and operated a sawmill, and later attending Duchess Park Secondary School. He was involved in Army Cadets, then the Rocky Mountain Rangers. Niels chose a career to become a Barber graduating from British Columbia Institute of Technology.

Niels met Josie, the love of his life, in 1965. They were married in 1967 and remained married to this day. Niels and Josie raised their three children in the home they built west of Prince George. He took pride in raising his family, along with running his Barbershop at Spruceland Mall for 47 years. Many members of the Prince George community will remember getting their first hair cut from Niels and he was always there in the window to give you a friendly wave to as you strolled by the barbershop.

Niels was also an avid outdoorsman, being a member of the Prince George Retriever Club, Prince George Rod & Gun Club, and Ducks Unlimited. Niels held many fond memories of hunting trips and field trials with his friends and family. He also enjoyed packing up the camper and boat and heading out with this family, to one of the many lakes in the area to try and catch that elusive trophy rainbow trout. In his later years he spent time cheering on his Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Blue Jays.

Niels leaves behind his beloved wife Josie; children Belinda (Ken), Glenn (Niki), Eric (Ali); grandchildren Kyle, Ryan, Kadin, Rylee, Nora, Freya and his beloved black lab Duke to carry on his legacy. Our father is gone but never to be forgotten with much love and always remaining in our hearts.

No service will be held by request, private interment.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Ducks Unlimited.

A future Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
