Obituary of Monty Brent Anderson

It is with indescribable heavy hearts that Renate, Melissa and Sam announce the sudden passing of Monty.

Those who knew him will remember a resourceful, genuine, brilliant man. Monty loved the Outdoors and his passion was  fishing-he tied many lucky flies.

Monty grew up in Edmonton, Alberta and on his Grandfathers farm. Early years saw him playing in the Band "Damian", working in California and picking apples in the Okanagan. He moved to Kelowna in the 1980's and started working and teaching at Del Radomske's Logbuilding school while also running his own Logbuilding company, together they were building houses for the German as well as the Japanese market. He made many friends later when working for the Kelowna Rec Center. Monty located to the Windermere Valley in 1992, pioneering his acreage. He lived the first winter in a tent before starting construction on his log home. Monty then enlisted with the BC Ambulance service where he worked as a Paramedic for 25 years. He and his longtime friend Renate became a couple in 1997 and started their family. Between the job, running a garlic farm, keeping chickens and pets and raising children as a dedicated and loving father, Monty  loved travelling the world with the family and took time to visit his friends all over BC.

Monty always had an innovative project on the go, improving our lives or planned the next fishing day.

The strong bond he had with his family will keep him alive in our hearts forever.
