 It is with great sadness we announce that Wesley Dale Nickel, aged 66, of Grindrod, BC. passed suddenly on February 5, 2026 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

Born in Abbotsford, (Matsqui) BC, on September 21,1959, and raised in Prince George, BC, Wesley grew up singing, making music, and learning carpentry skills from his dad.  He went on to study music at Canadian Mennonite Bible College with a Bachelor of Church Music, and then on to study music at Brandon University, getting his degree in Music Education.  Wesley eventually learned the craft of log home building and carpentry.  He was a true craftsman in woodwork and in music.  In more recent years Wesley focused on growing his own food using regenerative growing methods and living a rural lifestyle.  Those who knew Wes would say he was a selfless, gentle, patient, and loving man.  He will be dearly missed. 

Wes was predeceased by his dad Jack Nickel and brother Jeffrey Nickel.  He is survived by his wife Carol Nickel, mother Margaret Nickel, brother Patrick (Benita) Nickel, sister Sonia (Timothy) Thiessen, daughter Anya (Daniel) Wharton, son Jonathan Nickel (Katie Sparks), daughter Katrina (Kyle) Reimer, and grandchildren Solomon Wharton, Rachel Wharton, Abbie Wharton, Hannah Reimer, Molly Reimer, Micah Wharton, Wesley Jude Reimer.

In lieu of flowers the family would ask you to consider donating to your local food bank.
