Douglas Alan Ianson
October 21, 1947 – October 4, 2024

Doug passed away on October 4, 2024, in Edmonton, Alberta, after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Throughout 2024, his family remained steadfastly by his side, especially as his health continued to decline. In his final moments, his immediate family was at his side as he peacefully took his last breath.

Doug leaves behind his family who loved him dearly; his wife Vanessa, his daughter Vonnie (Max), his son Christopher (Jodi), his twin brother, Don (Alyson) and his two younger brothers, Bill (Lorie) and John (Sharon) and their families. Doug is preceded in death by his father, Trevor; his mother, Jean; and his younger brother, Bobby.

Everyone who knew Doug understands the profound loss of his passing. Doug was a writer with a unique gift for lightening the mood of any room he was in – delivering his jokes and comments in a subtle, understated way. His humour relied on cleverness and wordplay often catching people pleasantly off guard. The tone of his humour was both amusing and thought-provoking – he left a lasting impression on anyone who had the pleasure of experiencing it.

Doug dedicated over 25 years of his career to communications with the CBC, a role that reflected his passion for media and storytelling. He spent his summers volunteering at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, a tradition he always looked forward to, and lasted close to three decades. Positioned in the Media Tent, Doug became a familiar and friendly face and was known to spend his spare time socializing in the beer gardens with his friends and family.

Doug was a genuinely kind-hearted man who showed compassion to everyone he met. He had a love for browsing thrift stores in search of bargains, and when he didn’t find a leather treasure for himself, he would generously pass along his amazing finds to a family member or someone in need. He had a special place in his heart for all dogs, but was especially fond of his daughter’s dogs, Scooter and Paco, who always brought a smile to his face. His warmth, generosity, and compassion—toward both humans and animals—were the essence of who he was.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the incredible staff at Capital Care Grandview. The exceptional care and support Doug received during his final months will always be remembered by the Ianson family. We are profoundly grateful that he was able to spend this time in the hands of such dedicated and compassionate caregivers.

At Doug’s request, there will be no funeral service. However, his family plans to hold a Celebration of Life in the Spring of 2025 to honor his memory.

He is already deeply missed.

Our family is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Monique Helen Marie Laramee (Bonneville) on October 14, 2024, at the age of 76. Predeceased by her father Alexandre and mother Francoise, brother Andre, sister Terry, sisters in law Jeannine and Rachel, and brothers in law Ron, Guillaume, and Lucien. She leaves behind her husband of 59 years Pete, children Yvette (Harley) and Guy (Tracy), and grandchildren Nicholas, Jesse (Arla), Jonah (Charlie), Sam (Ivana) and Tessa (Cody). Monique was blessed to be surrounded by a large close-knit family who mourn her loss – brother Peter (Judy), sisters Claire (Gary) and Jeannine (Gary); sisters in law Rita (Gualbert), Jeannette, Marie, Liliane (Gilles), Cécile (Emile); and brothers in law John (Virginia) and Réal (Lauraine); and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Monique was born on April 24, 1948, in the small city of Sainte-Marie, Quebec, and spent most of her early years growing up in the areas surrounding Winnipeg, where she met the love of her life, Pete. Married for nearly 60 years, she and Pete began raising their children amongst the close-knit family and community of La Broquerie, Manitoba. In 1978 they made the brave and adventurous decision to chart a new course and move to Nanaimo – a city they would proudly call home for 44 years, where they surrounded themselves with a community of family and friends, always opening their home to visitors near and far.
Monique found her passion working as a counsellor for Nanaimo Youth Services for nearly 30 years, helping thousands of young people regain their footing to live happy, productive lives. Her service and compassion for her clients fueled her desire to work into her late 60s, when she finally retired and she and Pete began living the slower pace that retirement affords.
In 2022, Monique and Pete made yet another brave and adventurous decision to downsize their longtime home to move to Victoria to be closer to family. Monique’s greatest joys included hosting celebrations involving elaborate feasts, attending family dinners, baking, devouring and gifting the sweetest sweets on this planet, playing cards, reading, closely following the dreams and day to day lives of her beloved children and grandchildren, and her favourite… going for long drives with Pete exploring Vancouver Island and beyond.
Monique was truly selfless, always jumping in to help, to serve, and to comfort without us ever needing to ask. The immense care she provided and attention she paid made family and friends feel like they were the most important people in the world, because to her, they were. She was innately curious about the lives of others, but most of all, Monique was incredibly kind. The hole she leaves in our lives is immeasurable. In the days since her passing, it’s plainly evident she was the centre of our world. She was deeply loved and will be forever missed.
A celebration of Monique’s life will be held Friday, October 25 at 11am in the Common Room at 290 Island Highway, Victoria. Access to the building is via Eltham Road, with limited onsite parking. Ample street parking can be found on Jedburgh Road and Rudyard Road. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or the BC Cancer Foundation.
