It is with deep sadness that we announce the peacefully passing of our beloved father James Eugene Merrill on Oct 22, 2025 at the age of 82.
Dad was born in Vancouver, British Columbia to parents Ellen Hedberg and Eugene Merrill on June 19th, 1943. Dad celebrated life through his love for the mountains, his love for horses and farming and, above all, the love of his family.
