Covenant House Vancouver

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our dedicated volunteer, Brian Boyle. Brian passed away peacefully on February 6th, surrounded by his family at Vancouver General Hospital.

Brian started volunteering at Covenant House Vancouver in 2002 and helped us in many ways. He assisted at fundraising events, opened mail over many busy Christmas seasons, picked up food donations and drove to the recycling depot with items we couldn't use.

Brian was always willing to help with driving when we were in a pinch and he would even get a cube van for the job. There was only ever one condition: we had to have his coffee waiting for him when he arrived back at Covenant House!

Rest in peace, Brian. We'll miss your sense of humour and your very kind heart.
