March 6, 1935 - September 9, 2024
It is with great sadness we announce Leonard Burgess passed away September 9th, 2024. Born March 6, 1935, in Portsmouth, England. Married to Pam and after their first born, immigrated to Canada in 1960. Settled in Montreal where they had their second child. Moved to BC in 1970 and had their third child in Maple Ridge. Shortly after arriving, started a small family business that successfully operated for 25 years.
His passion was his family and fondest times were living in Ruskin where he was known for building stone walls, maintaining the property, building structures, house renovations and plumbing, all self taught. Always took on a challenge and succeeded. An abundant amount of energy, ingenuity, and determination. We learned a great deal from our dad.
Predeceased by his brother Charley and sister Edna.
Survived by his wife Pam of 68 years in marriage; daughter Kim, grandchildren Justine and Julie; daughter Nikki (Lea) and grandson Chase; son, Scott (Sharon) step grandchildren Melanie (Aaron), Cody (Helene); great grandchildren, Dominic, and Adrien.
We have a void in our hearts that we will fill with fond memories. Forever thankful for your guidance, support, and love along with all the life lessons you taught us.
