Gregory Randall Vanyo (Randy) born July 24, 1953 to Frank and Ruth Vanyo, passed away June 27, 2020. Randy was born and raised in the Duncan area where he lived his entire life.
It is with heavy hearts that we have to inform you that Randy passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at home. Randy was very well known for his hockey skills and was a founding member of the Cowichan Capitals. He also spent 32 years at the Crofton Pulp Mill.
Randy was well liked by all who knew him and had a great sense of humour. He leaves behind his life partner Angel Frost of 15 years, his son Alex (Jenna) Vanyo, step-daughters Angelena Essery (Josh), Danielle Frost (Fred Daigneault), and 2 step- grandchildren that he adored, Scotia and Jackson, aunts, uncles and many cousins, nieces and nephews and his sisters Diana and Francis. Randy was pre- deceased by his father, Frank Vanyo, his mother Ruth Vanyo, brothers, Graham and Ken, sister Jeanie, and two step-grandchildren Allan and Charles Essery.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a minor hockey association of your choice.
A celebration of life will take place on Tuesday, July 7, 2020 at the Eagles Hall at 2965 Boys Rd, Duncan BC.
