STOWELL, Christian DeVere Emerson February 25, 1965 - July 9, 2013 We announce with deep sorrow the sudden passing of our son Christian DeVere Emerson Stowell, 48, of West Kelowna on July 9, 2013. Born in Calgary and raised in Penticton, Christian was rarely without a smile. He sported an easy camaraderie, with a quick witty sense of humour and was a passionately proud father and grandfather. Christian loved hockey, fishing, golfing and skiing and delighted in creating and partaking of good food. Christian excelled at all that he did. We can't count the times that he told us how much he loved his position at the City of Kelowna and enjoyed the companionship of his coworkers. Recently Christian and several old school buddies had a golf game and lunch in Penticton, leaving those friends with one last happy memory. Christian is lovingly remembered by his daughter Kristy Lee (Byron) and grandsons Jake and Chase Etchegary of Iqaluit, Nunavut; parents Ken and Marlene Stowell of West Kelowna; brothers Cliff (Jude) of Peachland and Kenny (Shannon) of Kamloops; nieces and nephews Courtney (Diane), Palmer and Taylan, Joshua (Melissa), River, Jeremiah and Sheana; and mother of his daughter, Colleen Stowell and her family. Christian's bright infectious smile will be remembered and cherished by all who knew him. Christian, we'll see you on the other side. Cremation, no funeral by request.
