Bruce Edwin Noakes

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Bruce Edwin Noakes, age 66, passed away on September 17th, 2020 at his home in North Vancouver. Bruce was born in North Vancouver and graduated from Argyle Secondary School. He went straight from school to work for BC Rail, working in Chetwynd, MacKenzie and Lillooet. He moved to Saskatchewan starting a job at CP Rail. After a couple years he transferred back to Vancouver and continued with CP Rail for a total of 29 years.

Bruce retired when he was 50 and began working for a North Vancouver apartment he lived in, doing gardening. He was well known throughout the building. He was gardener, friend and part of the apartment team for over 10 years. You could always see him working hard around the property with a big smile on his face. He had a passion for what he did and it reflected in every inch of the property.

Bruce was predeceased by his true love, Brenda London; and his father, Telford Noakes.

Bruce is survived by his children, Chris, David and Bryan; his mom, Hilda; brother Gary; sister Lyla Stewart (Alf); nephews, Sean (Alice); Mathew (Morayah); cousins and special friends.

Rest in Peace Bruce
