Jackson Bearss

Our hearts are heavy with sadness as we share the news that our dear Jackson lost his two year battle with melanoma cancer. He fought with the same grit and determination that he lived his life.

Reginald Jackson Bearss was born December 2, 1954,

the youngest of six children. He is survived by his wife Jeanette,

son Riley, daughter Lindsay and grandchildren Lilandra and Kala, sisters Nadine, Margie, Bonnie and Janette as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends spread across this beautiful planet. He was predeceased by his parents Jack and Alice Bearss and brother Ed Bearss.

We will miss his caring and soft demeanour, his humour and his love for his family. He was dedicated to his successful drywall business, Jackson Drywall, which spanned 25 years in the Bow Valley.

He was passionate about skiing, biking, golfing, hiking......anything that involved the outdoors.

A celebration of his life was held at the Canmore Golf and Curling Club on Tuesday, September 26.

We ask you honour Jackson's life by planting a bee loving,

bird loving plant or tree in remembrance of him.

Thank you all for your kind words and support.

Special thank you to the ever caring doctors, nurses and staff of the Canmore Hospital. You all know who you are. A very special thank you to Pyatt Health and staff in Calgary.

Friends wishing to remember Jackson are encouraged to make a donation, in his memory to the Canmore and Area Health Care Foundation, 1100 Hospital Place, Canmore, AB T1W 1N2

Be kind to each other as Jackson was to all of us.
