We regret to advise of the death of Christopher “Chris” Adam Shaver, peacefully on 3 June 2026, at the age of 40.
Chris was born in Richmond BC and built a successful career as a journeyman fabricator-welder. He contributed to many important projects across Canada and the North, including the Vancouver Light Rail Transit Canada Line, Stanton Territorial Hospital, the Ekati Mine, and Aurora Ford Hay River. For the past decade, Chris has built an adventurous life in Hay River, Northwest Territories.
Service to others was woven into Chris's life. He proudly served as a Combat Engineer with the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve, was a member of the Canadian Rangers Hay River Patrol, and volunteered as a firefighter with the Hay River NWT Fire Department in his community.
A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. Online condolences can be sent to the funeral home.
