It is with profound sadness the family of Martin Graham Zyp announce his sudden passing on June 19 2024. Martin leaves behind his loving wife of 44 years Brenda, his children Desirea, Merranda (Tyler), Graham, and Arless as well as his grandchildren Kaden and Arabella. Despite having the appearance of a gruff exterior, Martin had a kind, gentle soul and was always there for family and friends. He had a love for nature and animals that will never be forgotten as well as a great passion for gardening and foraging for herbs.  Martin’s family would like to express how thankful they are to the Lumby Ambulance service and to Kelowna General Hospital for the amazing care that Martin received from them. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

 

 

In Memory

A thousand times we needed you.
A thousand times we cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
A heart of gold stopped beating;
two twinkling eyes closed to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best;
never a day goes by that you’re not in my heart and my soul.
