Douglas Trevor Durrant

March 1924 – February 2018

Trevor passed away peacefully at home on Bowen Island in his 94th year. He

is survived by his wife Patricia, sons Andrew, Peter (Jane) Fraser and John

(Charlene) and grandchildren Justine, Miles, Douglas, Jesse, Nicola, and

Alexander.

He attended the University of Toronto Schools (UTS) on scholarship and

excelled in athletics.

During the Second World War, he served in the Royal Canadian Navy and

saw action in the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean and on D Day.

Following the war he attended the University of New Brunswick. While

obtaining a degree in Civil Engineering, he met and married Patricia, his

wife of 68 years. Trevor worked as an executive for many years in the oil

industry in Canada and throughout the world. Living in West Vancouver,

Trev, Pat and the family enjoyed many seasons hiking the local mountains,

skiing at Whistler and many summers exploring the coast on the vintage

wooden boats the family restored as a team.

Moving to Bowen Island in 1980 he served as a popular building inspector

for a time and made many good friends.

We celebrate Trevor, husband, father, and friend as a wonderful man

who led a full and exciting life, who gave benefit to everyone he met,

and left us richer for his love, his joy, his wonderful sense of humour and

his wisdom.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation of your choice in his memory.

Trevor requested that there be no service.
