This is the hardest thing I have ever had to write, but I must. With heavy hearts, we share that Niels passed away on April 14, 2025, after a courageous 20-year battle with cancer and its many challenges.
He leaves behind a remarkable legacy—his three grown children, their wonderful spouses, eight beloved grandchildren, and his devoted wife of 46 years. Niels was a loving husband, father, and grandfather whose presence will be deeply missed.
We take comfort in knowing you are pain-free, drinking coffee and watching soccer.
To all who knew him: if a smile crosses your face when you think of Niels, know that it is the greatest tribute you can offer.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Dear Kerry and family, our deepest condolences with the passing of Niels. He was a wonderful husband and father and a very hard worker! We will keep you all in our thoughts. When you feel up to it our number is 250-896-2816. Talking is a wonderful healing thing. I have just lost my sweet sister Linda and don’t know what to do with myself.
The passing of Niels came as a shock to me and is quite devastating news. Please accept my deepest condolences. I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathy to the entire family. Know, that I share in your sorrow with love and friendship. Niels may be gone from our sight but not from our hearts. An absolute gem of a man, Niels can never be forgotten. May the love of family and friends surround you enough to take your pain away. I can only hope that time will heal and lighten the pain you feel. In my mind Niels was a true gentleman and a generous person in so many ways. He was a great tennis player, soccer player and on too many occasions, I experienced his wicked forehand slam on the ping-pong table. May he be in a better place.
With Sympathy, Roger Conrod
