The Twentyman family with the sudden loss of Bruce Twentyman

Hi everyone I am posting on behalf of Joanne, Terry and Laurie.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the tragic and unexpected passing of our brother Bruce Twentyman on October 29, 2024 in Victoria BC. With Terry, Dawn, Melanie, Taylin and a few of his friends by his side as he took his last breaths. He will be remembered by his loving siblings Joanne and David Orr, Terry and Dawn Twentyman, and Laurie and Kieth Wissell as well as his nieces Melanie Orr, Colleen McCoy, Nicole Twentyman, Erin Twentyman (Cody), Misty Twentyman, and Crystal Kroeker (David) and their respective children.

Bruce was involved in a tragic car/ pedestrian accident and unfortunately passed away due to extensive injuries. He will be greatly missed by all.

Bruce’s Brother Terry with his wife Dawn as well as Niece Melanie and great niece Taylin dropped everything and travelled to be with Bruce in his last moments.

Travel expenses have added up as well as lost wages, and they continue to do so as they all work to complete final arrangements to ensure Bruce is put to rest the way he wished to be.

Any funds are greatly appreciated to help cover the costs of flights, ferries, fuel, accommodations and food.

Thank you to all for any assistance in this difficult and stressful situation.

Our family does not have many answers as to how or why this has happened. What we do know is this was simply a tragic accident that has affected many. Salt Spring Island is a small, close knit community and most people knew Bruce and/or possibly the driver of the vehicle that struck him.

Our family does not know who the driver was but understand they will have healing themselves to do from the trauma of this experience and we wish them that healing. We also wish to thank them for staying on scene, cooperating with police and any aid they may have been able to give to Bruce prior to EMS arriving.
