Ziedonis (Sid) Kalnins passed away peacefully on January 13, 2022, at Chartwell Crescent Gardens Long Term Care Home in Surrey, B.C. He was 90 years old. His 8 year battle with Dementia/Alzheimer showed his courage in facing many challenges and often with a bright smile. Despite the debilitating disease taking him from us he found peace and wonderful support with his wife Irene of 34 years always at his side.
As a young man Sid ventured with his family from Brazil to Ontario. He had a wonderful career with Lipton’s working as a commercial machinist. His skills were so valued the company relocated him to Vancouver where he retired with wonderful praise and recognition from the organization.
Sid is survived by his loving wife, Irene. He was also a proud step-father, Opa and great Opa to a large extended family that loved him very much.
Sid met the love of his life, Irene in 1985 while attending a singles dance at the Bayshore Inn. It was love at first sight and they spent the rest of their lives loving, supporting and caring for one another to the end.
His cheerful attitude and bright smile will be missed by all that knew Sid. Always willing to step up and help anyone who was in need.
Sid will be honored and put to eternal rest on Wednesday January 26, 2022 at Victory Memorial Park located at 14831 – 28th Ave, Surrey, B.C. A private family reception will follow.
