Trig (Fred) lived in Southern Alberta until he was 18 yrs old and then moved to Steveston, BC for the remainder of his life. He worked at BC Packers for 46 years. He retired in 1991 and got to help everyone else for the next 16 years. He was never happier than when he was doing something with his hands or spending time with his family.
In the last year his heart condition slowed him down so that he couldn't putter around so much. So he took to praying for all of us, as what he could do.
Trig died peacefully in his sleep, at home, and has gone to be with his Lord.
He will be deeply missed by his wife Phyllis, of 53 years, daughters Kim (John) Alexis, Lisa (Dale) Enns, and four special grandchildren, Orion, Seth, Joash, and Anna Alexis, sister Anne (Henry) Adrian, and brothers Abram, Pete (Dorothy), Eric and Nick and sister-in-laws Katie and Norma Enns and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
