In Loving Memory of Clifford Robert Young (1967-2026)

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Clifford Robert Young. Although we had grown apart in recent years, his loss is felt deeply.

Clifford was the eldest of three, and without question the funniest. He was never shy about dancing — anywhere, anytime — and that fearless joy remains one of his most memorable traits.

He grew up in Whalley, shaped by its familiar streets and steady sense of community. A proud graduate of North Surrey Secondary, he carried those roots with him throughout his life. Clifford worked hard and dedicated many years to Safeway until his retirement, always caring deeply for the community that shaped him. He was also a valued member of UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers Union) Local 1518.

In Loving Memory of Raul Antonio Flores Platero (1959-2026)

With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Raúl Antonio Flores Platero, born on January 15, 1959, passed away peacefully at his home on February 6, 2026 after bravely facing cancer.

Born in El Salvador, Raúl emigrated to Canada many years ago and later made Vancouver his home. There, he built a meaningful life and found a rewarding career with the Vancouver Convention Centre. He will be remembered as a kind, generous, and compassionate soul. Raul was a devoted son, brother, uncle, friend, and coworker who was admired for his integrity, warmth, and genuine care for others.

Raúl wished to be remembered through two special songs that brought him comfort and meaning: “If” by Pink Floyd and “Always With Me, Always With You” by Joe Satriani. May these melodies serve as a gentle reminder of his spirit, sensitivity, and the love he carried in his heart.

"Christian and Scott were extremely instrumental. Though my family is Chinese, we do not know/care much of our own traditions. Scott knew more about our Chinese traditions than we do and took the time to explain to my siblings and my dad that we should still hold space for our relatives and guests to pay their respect. We truly appreciated their thoughtful and patient guidance.

Beyond the attentive funeral services, Scott.." says Judy on Google
