- CHAFE, Ross Henry - It is with heart-aching sadness that we announce the sudden and premature passing of Ross Henry Chafe at 52, on Sunday May 31st 2015 after a tragic cycling accident. He will be forever missed by his wife and love Lizanne Bussières, and his three daughters Alexandra, Fabienne and Isabelle. He will also be missed by his loving parents Earl and Ruby Chafe, his brother Peter (Wendy), his 12 nieces and nephews and many extended family and dear friends. He was predeceased by his brother Glen. Ross was born July 4th 1962 and raised in Greenfield Park, on the South shore of Montreal. After completing his business degree at McGill University and his MBA at Western University, he fulfilled his dream of being an entrepreneur when he acquired Flags Unlimited based out of Barrie, Ontario. His keen business sense allowed him and his partners to grow the company into a North American leader with ties around the world. Ross loved the great outdoors, whether he was camping, skiing or golfing, and he always carried his passion for cycling everywhere he traveled. Ross was a positive and warm person with a great passion for life and the people and places he encountered. He epitomized Howard Thurman's words: "Ask what makes you come alive and go do it". A private ceremony will be held for the family and a memorial service will be organized in Montreal mid-July. The Whistler community will be organizing a joint ceremony to celebrate Ross Chafe and Kelly Blunden's lives, which will take place at the Whistler Conference Centre on June 13th from 1 pm onwards.
