It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Carl Favel, age 71 years of Red Rock, in the early hours of Sunday, February 21, 2016 surrounded by his loving family, at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
Carl was born in Selkirk, Manitoba on December 20, 1944.
As a teenager, he moved with his family to Red Rock where he made his home and life. Carl was an avid fisherman, hunter, and trapper. His second home was the great outdoors. For many years, Carl was passionate about playing and coaching hockey and never lost his love for the sport. Above all, Carl was protective of the family he loved so dear.
Carl is survived by the great love of his life, soul mate and wife of 50 years, Lois (née Turner), sons Terry (Teak) and Duane (Melina), grandchildren Brandon (Rachael), Tyler (Rachel), Dillon (Haley), Shyloe, and great grandchildren Mason and Madisyn. Carl is also survived by sisters Gail, Deborah (Michael), Louise (Daniel), Lois (Rob), brothers Lionel (Shelley), Trent (Jean), Orson, brother-in-law Mike Lasook and sister-in-law Connie Palmer, as well as numerous nephews, nieces and cousins.
Carl was predeceased by his parents Ronald and Mina, sisters Phyllis, Mina ("Babe"), Myrna and Judy, as well as brother Tim and brother-in-law Louis.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the ICU staff at TBRHSC for the exceptional care and compassion they provided Carl.
Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, February 26, 2016 in the Chapel of Harbourview Funeral Centre, 499 North Cumberland Street, presided by Rev. Chris Harper. Visitation for family and friends will begin one hour prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honour Carl's memory are kindly asked to make a donation to a charity of your choice in his name.
