In Loving Memory ~

Douglas John Marion passed away suddenly on December 10, 2023 at the age of 71. He was born and raised in Calgary, received his law degree from the University of Victoria and settled in Campbell River where he practiced criminal law for over 30 years.

Doug is survived by his two sons, Christopher and Timothy, his three grandchildren Lucas, Alyssa and Ariana, his three sisters Joyce Lalonde, Enid and Laura and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents (Catherine and George), brother Keith and nephew Larry Jr.

Doug was first and foremost a proud, loving father and grandfather and a selfless and loving brother and uncle. He enjoyed thoroughly exploring, sharing and writing about his family's genealogy so they could understand their history and honour their ancestry.

Doug was a remarkable and highly respected criminal lawyer. He immersed himself fully in providing the highest calibre of representation to those who sought his services. He received his K.C. in 2017 reflecting his contributions to the legal community, including the mentorship of young lawyers.

Doug loved his motorcycle. He travelled many winding roads with his buddies and some of his fondest memories were of riding with the wind blowing past his face and music blaring through his headphones. He also loved to fly his virtual planes and research military history.

Doug made a host of lifelong friends. He was supportive, caring and had a wicked sense of humour. He was larger than life and a truly unique individual who made the world better for those whose lives were touched by his.

A celebration of life will be held on January 20, 2024 commencing at 3:00 p.m. at the Maritime Heritage Centre, 621 Island Highway, Campbell River, B.C.
