George Gordon Philibert

George was a dedicated loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Born to Anna and Victor Philibert in Vancouver, BC in 1942. After leaving home, he started work on a cattle ranch southwest of Calgary until he enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces. He served in the Canadian Black Watch Battalion, where he traveled to Europe with the Army and spent 3 years moving up to the rank of Lance Corporal. After returning home to Calgary Alberta, he met and married his true love, wife Janet, in 1965. He found his career calling as a heavy-duty mechanic, welder, and fabricator, working most of his career in the BC interior in the forestry industry until retiring to enjoy life at the cabin on the lake, with family and friends always welcomed to stay and visit.

He passed peacefully on Tuesday May 16th at Prince George Hospice, surrounded by family. Survived by loving wife Janet; daughter Shonda (Jeff); son Shane (Patti); granddaughter Amanda; grandsons Jordan (Lindsay), Dylan and Kash (Elizabeth), and great granddaughter Brooklyn.

The family would like to thank Dr. Hillhouse, everyone at the Cancer Clinic, Home Support, PG Hospice, and friends for all their support.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Prince George Hospice in memory of George Philibert, would be greatly appreciated.
