So very saddened to hear of Graeme's passing. I met him in 2006 and we shared many beautiful times together. His sweet, funny, introspective personality was undeniable and will be lovingly remembered. Sending my deepest condolences to all that loved him.

Saddened to hear of your passing Graeme. From the Davis Road days to lacing up cleats for soccer at LSS, you were lighthearted and quite often had a smile on your face. I always thought of you as a stand up, happy-go-lucky guy, and that’s how I’ll remember you. My thoughts go out to your family and friends.

His memory will live on with those who he connected with, in a way that so many of us wish we connect with others. He was outgoing, witty, caring, and adventurous. We had countless memories together that I will cherish forever. I love you Graeme.

Graeme never stopped striving to be better. His commitment to seeking peace, happiness, love, and connection is remarkable. He was kind, gentle, and deeply humble. He was a curious person, always seeking and being open to new ideas. He was open to possibilities and ideas with an open mindedness that many of us lack. Despite an accomplished career with BC Ferries, performing as a musician, and going on many adventures from fishing to hunting to surfing to motorcycling to golfing, Graeme was the last person to ever seek the spotlight or brag about his accomplishments (even though he had a lot to be proud of!) We wish Graeme had been able to see himself in life the way everyone keeps describing him: kind, gentle, caring, fun-loving. Graeme left us too early and our hope is that his story can help others heal.
