Vic was way too young to go and meet his maker but only God knows why !! but he will live on forever in our memories and he is free now of his earthly body that causes us much pain at times. Vic was as everyone says a gentle giant who loved his family and did all he could for them. It’s harder for those left behind when someone passes as the loss is so hard to bear but let’s all take comfort in knowing he has passed through to a new life with Jesus. God bless you Vic and see you again someday in a better place.. love Corin, Freya , Jay and Freddie Xx

Vic, I’ve known you since at least 14 years old. So most of my life, my first thoughts he’s as tall as a tree but as gentle as the breeze. Food, cooking and head in the book that was Victor! 
When someone asked me if I’m alright I’ll always think of what victor always said! 
Although you’ve left this world you’ll never leave the hearts that love you 
Now your in gods hands ❤️

All our love Tracy, Dave, Joel, Abbie & Owen xxx

My dad loved to read, study religion and was kind to all he met.  Often he was called the gentle giant because he was so tall.  He had a full life filled with service to his country and to god, family and love.  I have so many memories of my dad growing up.  I remember when I was a kid my mom would be working and my dad would take me around town to different places.  Sometimes it was Chuck E Cheese or we would play pinball machines for hours visiting my mom at work.   When we would go out with my mom shopping we would laugh and pretend to be extra mannequins in the store.  We would put together model cars, play board games (Trouble was my favorite) and wire the components in this Radio Shack electronics kit.  When I got older he seemed to be content driving my mom and me around different places.  He always loved to drive everywhere, it seemed as if he found it relaxing to get away and think.  Throughout his life he always had an unwavering love for god and wanted to know more. I am truly lucky to have such a great dad.  I will love you always and forever.  

First I would like to say Victor is not dead because he served a Living God!!
The vessel of his body may have passed on but dear brother Victor is with the savour he lived and spoke about all his earthly life!!  When ever you would speak with Victor he would always be telling you of the latest book he had been reading on end times and what he thought the next step in God’s plan for the planet.  His passion for Christ and the word rang out like a bell calling to all who had time to listen!!  If you ever asked “Are you alright?” His answer would be “No I’m half left”.  That was Victor, always smiling and always looking on the bright side of life!!  His love for Kim and Vicki, Dennis and the the grand children goes without saying he was proud of you all and his love deeper than you will all know!  Victors other greatest passion as I remember was Food!!!  We had many a great time in England trying out hot dog soup and his greatest meal meat loaf!! I will say all I remember it tasted real good to us Brits!!!  Also we would all troop off down to Upper Heyford air base to have these wonderful big steaks in the naffy, what great times we had my brother Victor!!
The thing that really stands out for me is a scripture Victor quoted to me when we first met:
2 Timothy 2 v 15 “Study thyself to be approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.”
This has stuck with me all my life and I find myself quoting it today to both believers and none believers!!
So Victor Turnquist God’s word is right!! It will not return void because there is life!! The seed you sowed all those years ago is still multiplying!!! Victor what a celebration of your Life!! We will meet again in glory when we stand together to worship the Lamb!!

Love you Victor

Dear Sweet Jesus, as I write You this letter I can’t help but rejoice at the thought of Victor (Bictor) glorious entrance into Your presence. Glory! He went from life here on earth to eternal life with You in heaven. I can imagen him running to Your arms and falling to his knees to worship You, King of Kings!                         Lord, thank You for Your hand in Victor and his beloved Kimmie’s life, who with sparkles in their eyes set Kenny and My first date, leading to Victor walking me down the aisle on our wedding day, 26 years ago.                                    I remember every visit at their home was Pizza Day! Yeayyyy we all cheer! Your love Lord, was the center of our conversations. All of this while Kimmie and I would enjoy our delicious cup of tea! Our hearts left their home always encouraged and full of You.                                                      What a beautiful legacy of love, servanthood and faithfulness Victor left behind.                       Jesus, comfort his family as they grieve the loss of him not being here and tell him we miss him until we all see each other again face to face! -1 Peter 1:3-4                             Love, Lilly & Family 

Gentle Giant that’s the Vic I remember - a  gentle spirit, a man who loved God and his family.  Il never forget happy times in Virginia Beach With Kim Vicki and Vic great memories of a lovely man. Now with His Lord & saviour where soon we too shall be together again.
