In Loving Memory ~

Timothy David Ellis, of Chemainus, BC, passed away on January 3, 2025 at the age of 79 years. Tim was born in Blackpool, England and immigrated with his family to Edmonton as a young boy.

After receiving his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, he enjoyed a career in Ontario and Alberta. He took early retirement and moved to the west coast where he enjoyed day trading, playing guitar, running, walking and gardening.

He is survived by cousins in England, as well as brother-in-law Guy Ranger (Liz), nieces Jennifer Ranger (Jim Bell), Catherine Ranger (Don Seager), Patricia Ranger, five great nieces and nephews, and three great-great nephews, all in Alberta.

The family wishes to thank Tim's neighbours for their outstanding support and friendship during Tim's illness.
