Obituary of Howard Bruce Pearson

Howard Bruce Pearson "Jawf" February 28, 1960 - April 16, 2015 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bruce after a 14 month battle with ALS on April 16th, At the Kimberley Special Care Home "The Pines". Jawf was the comic of the family, always having a joke or a story to tell that had his friends and family in stitches. Family gatherings were the greatest when Jawf and Loni were together, as Loni's wit and quick remarks were a match for Jawf's. Jawf was always accepting of people for who they were, never making judgement, because of this he made many friends throughout BC & Alberta with his career in the oil fields, and if anyone needed a helping hand, he was always the first in line. Bruce is survived by his parents, Howie and Sheila Pearson, his three sisters, Terry Harrison (Michael), Sandra Zaplitny (Terry), Christie Caccavo (Enzo) and his two brothers, Keith & Scott. nephews Dana Harrison (Krista), Julian Harrison (Robyn), Brett Robertson, Dakota Hoffman and nieces Loni Robertson (Mario), Carlie Pearson as well as his great nephews and nieces Gavin, Maksym, Grace and Penelope, and a very special friend Velma Moulton, who was always able to bring a smile to his face, no matter how he was feeling. "Let your Spirit fly free and May you soar with the Eagles." There will be no service by request, instead a gathering of remembrance will be held Sunday, May 17th, 2015 at his sister's home, 201 - 7th Street South in Cranbrook, from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm.
