Eric Kernachan
March 15, 1983 - April 10, 2016
Tribute
Our dear Eric lost his struggle with depression on April 10,2016. Left to grieve are his parents Rob and Nancy, his brother Rob and fiancee Janie and Darren, his girls Shannon, Bethany, and Jayden Thompson, his sweet little Olive, his grandparents Cliff and Janet Browne, his aunts and uncles Dan and Janet Kernachan, Linda and Keith Shillito, Lyn and Brian Irvine, Susan Rochon, Patrick and Jennette Browne, his cousins Matt & Barrett, Dave & Juliane, Dugie & Jenn, Robyn & Nathan, Kevin, Jennifer & Brenden, Cliff & Michelle, Karen, and Becky, and his farm family at Porter’s Dairy.
Eric also left behind a huge circle of friends who loved and enjoyed him so much. They all supported each other through good times and bad, and continue to do so for us now.
Among Eric’s many joys were dirtbiking up the mountain with his brother and buddies, listening to Alice in Chains, working on the farm, and making all of us laugh.
We are so devastated that he couldn’t see his way through his illness at the end, but we feel he has made it to where he needed to be.
Please consider a donation in Eric’s memory to the Rick Rypien Foundation (RickyRyp) or the Canadian Mental Health Association (cmha.bc.ca)
There will be a celebration of Eric’s life in the coming months.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. We may have only know Eric for a few years but he was a great neighbour to us. Always willing to lend us a hand when needed. He and my son Matt spent many nights around his campfire. Matt is going to miss him greatly. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

My family and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to Eric’s family. He was a good man who cared deeply for those closest to him.
I will fondly remember the many summers we spent building tree forts, riding dirt bikes, chasing each other around the farm in old junker cars and the many adventures we shared in our youth. RIP old friend.
