1946 - September 29, 2024
Glen Carl Baber passed away on September 29, 2024 at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, after a short, grim battle with cancer.
His family were with him, along with his last doggy buddy, Lizzie.
Glen was born in 1946, in Lemberg, SK, to Elsa and Rudolph Baber, the middle child of five. There remains a large extended family in Saskatchewan, with whom he enjoyed occasional visits. When he was 16, the family moved to Creston, where he completed high school, and began his work in forestry. Glen went on to BCIT and began working with the BC Forestry Service. He worked in Victoria, Williams Lake, Horsefly, Riske Creek, Revelstoke, Williams Lake and Prince George.His happiest work times may have been managing the forest fire fighting in the Cariboo-Chilcotin – he maintained an ongoing interest in fire response and
behaviour. Otherwise, Glen was happiest outdoors, and loved skiing, running, bicycling, travelling, dog walks, and shared cooking projects with Heather.
Glen is survived by his partner Heather Myers, and his two sons, Chris (Jen) and Mike (Michelle), and grandchildren, Lena, Reece, Anika, and Nathan. He is also survived by his sisters Bernice and Diane, and his brother Wes.Their oldest brother Ron passed away in 2011.
Glen was interred on October 12, 2024 at Hillside Cemetery in Kamloops.
