It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George Van Dyke of Maple Ridge, BC.

George passed away with family by his side on February 11th, 2025 at Ridge Meadows Hospital due to heart failure at the age of 88. George is survived by his wife of 50+ years, Esperanza, their two daughters, Jennifer and Nancy and his two beloved grandchildren, Brooklynn and Tate.

George was a proud Dutchman; generous, kind, loyal and hardworking. He was a skilled landscaper who leaves behind many beautiful projects he worked on in the Lower Mainland and Greater Vancouver area, but his most prized work was his award-winning rose garden that he loved to tend to with his wife.

George loved to putter around outside fixing anything he deemed to need improvement, helping friends in need, driving in his convertible, telling stories and showing photos of his grandchildren to everyone he met. His quick wit, ever-present smile, countless jokes and full body laughter will be greatly missed.
