PEARSON, Kent Martin

1944 - 2020

Born and raised in Vancouver. Predeceased by parents, Gerard Pearson and Janice Jacoby Ericksen. Survived by daughters, Kate Dunn (Peter) and Dana Small (Andy), sisters Dale Fidler, Penny Allon (Roger Wallis) and Barbara Ericksen (Randy Robinson), nephew Blaine Fidler (Katheryne) and extended family in Canada and the U.S. Grew up in the West End, attending Lord Roberts, King George and UBC schools, Kent loved the ocean and boats and spent many happy years sailing. He also loved to travel with many trips to Europe, England and the U.S. In his early years, Kent enjoyed buying and renovating houses in Vancouver while working for the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, then moved to Victoria as his job transferred to the Ministry of Health, where he would spend the rest of his working years. Kent had many medical challenges in his later years as he would be diagnosed with Bi-polar Syndrome, tremors, dementia and cancer. But his life was filled with stories of near-misses and accidents yet he managed to reach the age of 75 which amazed us all. A get-together to remember Kent will be held at a later date.
