Eugene Randall Smith

d. September 3, 2016

Courageous to the end, Gene lost a 3-year battle with lymphoma cancer at the age of 61. Predeceased by his parents Ken (1969) and Beryl (2012), Gene leaves to mourn his wife Sharlene of 38 years, his daughter Stacy (Will and Ethan) Diesel of Edmonton, and son Ryan (Madeline) Smith of Victoria. He also leaves nine brothers and sisters: Charlene Cary, Linda Anderson, Dan Smith, Steven Smith, Margaret Kohl, Brian Smith, Karen Beaton and Sherry Smith all of Regina, and Wendy Smith of Vancouver as well as many sisters and brothers-in-law, and nieces and nephews.
Born and raised in Regina, Gene and Sharlene made Victoria home in 1989. Gene enjoyed his home life, golf and travelling. A foodie at heart, he had a culinary flair that he enjoyed sharing with family, friends and a good glass of wine. He was an accomplished scale modeler with an extensive collection of post WWII aircraft. Gene loved being a dad, often participating in the sports and exploits of his children and their friends. He was recognized with honorary life membership in the Cordova Bay Softball Club for his 20 years of coaching and leadership.
Professionally, Gene was an architectural technologist, the last 15 years with de Hoog & Kierulf architects. Talented in his work, Gene contributed to the construction of notable buildings in Victoria and Regina. Gene will be remembered for his playfulness, humour and contentment.
Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day . . . Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear. Special thanks to the care teams at the Victoria and Vancouver cancer clinics, and Royal Jubilee Patient Care Centre on 8N, 4S, 8S and 3S.
Gene's life will be celebrated on September 19 at 2:00 p.m. at the Beach House Restaurant, 5109 Cordova Bay Road. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memoriam to Lymphoma Canada at www.lymphoma.ca.
