May 3, 1958 – February 2, 2025
Eldon Dueck, of Abbotsford, BC, died at home on February 2, 2025, of pancreatic cancer at the age of 66.
Eldon grew up in Selkirk, MB. After post-secondary studies at the University of Manitoba, he joined the RCMP, where he served for 39 years, retiring as Staff Sergeant. Most of his service was spent in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, with the exception of a five-year posting to RCMP Headquarters in Ottawa in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Eldon faced his final illness with a clearsighted courage that balanced realism with optimism. He said, “I would like to live longer, but I can honestly say I have no regrets.” He was particularly grateful for the time he had in his final months to connect with family and friends and made a point of reaching out to many he had not been in touch with for a while. He was also thankful that he was able to sell his beloved 1977 Ford Granada to an owner who “got it” about car maintenance and restoration and would give it a good home.
He leaves behind his wife, Robbie, son, Andrew, daughter-in-law, Christal, and granddaughter, Zoe, as well as extended family in Manitoba and BC.
Per Eldon’s wishes there will be no formal service. Family and friends are invited to honour Eldon’s memory and celebrate his life in their own way.
Remembered with respect and gratitude for his service.
