With profound sadness we announce the passing of Ernie on Friday, February 19, 2021 in Kamloops after a brief battle with cancer. Ernie was born November 9, 1954 in Mission, BC and grew up there, developing many lasting friendships.
Ernie married the love of his life, Twila, on July 28, 1990 and they spent 30 wonderful years together. They loved their home on Dairy Road where they entertained many family and friends.
Ernie was predeceased by his wife Twila in July 2020, his parents, John and Margaret Unrau and brother Andre (Ukraine). He is survived by his daughter Cindy Wassvik and grandson Milo, godson Michael Slater, Kamloops, son James (Anna) Turnbull of Ontario, brother Victor (Gerda) Roesnik, Kelowna, sister Lena (Chuck) Trebilcock, Abbotsford, Aunt Lina Thiessen, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends.
On behalf of Ernie's family we would like to send our sincere gratitude for the excellent care he received. The doctors, nurses and staff of 6-South at RIH as well as the staff at Overlander Trinity Hospice, Kamloops. Mostly we would like to thank Dr. Howie, the nurse and staff of Trinity for their incredible care of Ernie these past months.
