Terry Robert Groves 1958-2024
It is with great sadness that the family of Terry Robert Groves announces his sudden passing on August 23, 2024, in Sooke, BC.
Terry was born in Marde, Belgium on November 30, 1958, but lived in Canada most of his life. Terry started his Canadian military service in 1977 where he proudly served his country for 26 years before retiring from his duties as a Warrant Officer in 2005. After his retirement from the Canadian Armed Forces he worked for various BC government departments until his semi-retirement in 2021 which allowed him more time to pursue his lifelong passion of writing and publishing. In 2023, Terry went back to work for the BC Government on a contract for the BC Ombudsperson and continued to do so until his date of death.
Terry is survived by his parents Robert and Doris Groves, his wife Eileen of 31 years, brothers Rob, Tony, and Dale Groves, son Anthony, daughter Jennifer, stepson Westley, stepdaughter Cyndi and his many grandchildren. Terry was predeceased by his brothers Paul and Mark.
A celebration of life for Terry will be held at the Langford Legion Hall at 761 Station Ave, Langford, BC. on September 28, 2024. The celebration will be from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.
Donations can be sent to the charity of your choice in Terry’s name.
