Popplewell, Mark Douglas With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Mark Popplewell, at home on Sunday February 10, 2019, following a courageous and very determined battle against brain cancer. Mark was the much loved husband of Lori, his wife of 32 years, and very proud father of his sons Nolan and Chris. He will be sadly missed by his brother David, his sister Dawn (Mike) Asselstine and their children Nathanial (Candice) and Melissa, his sister-in-law Lisa (late Matthew) and their sons Sam and Luke. Much loved son-in-law of Jim and Tina McGilligan and brother-in-law of Debbi McGilligan and daughter Stephanie, and Kim McGilligan and daughters Amanda, Karissa and Nodyia, and great-uncle to Liam, Trinnitie, Aiva and Lincoln. Mark was pre-deceased by his cherished infant daughter Kari, his parents Les and Doris (Chaplin), and his brother Matthew. Mark will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his much loved cousins and extended family and numerous friends. This journey would have been so much harder if not for the tremendous support and help from our families (cousins) and friends. Mark's daily trips to Kingston for treatment were made easier due to an unending number of volunteers. His social visits, phone calls, texts and day trips with family and friends meant a great deal and helped to ease the ongoing battle. Thanks to the medical professionals, office staff and volunteers of the Kelowna General Hospital, the Kingston General Hospital Cancer Division, and the Day Clinic and Chemotherapy department of the Great War Memorial Hospital, Perth site. Much appreciation is given to our workplaces, 3M Canada, Perth Home Hardware Building Centre, Knudson Engineering Ltd, and Albany, for their continued support. Thank you as well to the Civitan Club's medical equipment lending bank for the use of their supplies. Special thanks to the CCAC and Bayshore Nursing, especially Kelly, Leslie, Alice, Cheryl and Sarah for their compassionate care and tremendous support during this time. It is because of these programs that we were able to honour Mark's wish to stay at home. Mark was born, raised, lived and has now passed on in Perth. He was a sports enthusiast, avid outdoorsman, a valued 3M employee, loyal friend and devoted family man. Mark had been quoted a time or two saying "I love my wife", and was so very proud of his sons, Nolan and Chris. Mark had a larger than life personality that touched many people in his lifetime and hopefully will continue to do so. In remembrance of Mark, donations to Bayshore Nursing, South East LHIN formally CCAC, Perth Civitan Medical Bank or Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation Chemotherapy Department, would be appreciated. In lieu of a service, a Celebration of Mark's Life will be held at Farrell Hall 186 Gore St. E., Perth on Saturday, March 2, 2019 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm. Funeral arrangements are in the care of Blair & Son, 15 Gore Street West, Perth. We are travelers. From "birth till death" we travel between the eternities. May these days be pleasant for you, profitable for society, helpful for those you meet, and a joy to those who know and love you best.
