In Loving Memory of Adam Pich
March 31, 1949 – October 15, 2025

With heavy hearts and deep gratitude for a life so beautifully lived, we announce the passing of Adam Pich, aged 76, of Camrose, Alberta – formerly of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories – on October 15, 2025.

Adam is lovingly remembered by his wife of 46 years, Donna; his daughters Janna (Andre) and Krystal (J.J.); and his beloved grandchildren, Katum, Maddox, Collins, Isaiah, and Liam. He also leaves behind his siblings, Ken, Shirley (Steve), Edith (Don), and Elsie, and his brother-in-law Doug Meier – all of whom held a special place in his life.

He was predeceased by his parents, Nick and Rose Pich, his siblings, Shelly, Virginia, and Andrew, and his in-laws Louis and Veronica Meier. Their memories were never far from his heart.

Born on March 31, 1949, in Moose Bay, Manitoba, Adam was the kind of man who left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Known for his infectious laughter, playful teasing, and signature wild socks, Adam brought joy, humor, and warmth into every room he entered.

He was a man of deep principle, boundless curiosity, and unwavering generosity. He believed in second chances, in helping others without expecting anything in return, and in the power of a good laugh to brighten even the darkest days. Whether offering a lighthearted joke or a helping hand, Adam made it his mission to lift others up – often quietly, always sincerely.

Adam grew up on the family farm in Rorketon, Manitoba, before heading north in search of new opportunities. In 1971, he moved to Yellowknife, where he briefly worked at the Giant Mine before pursuing his dream of becoming a business owner. Adam was fearless when it came to chasing new ventures and ideas and was never one to shy away from hard work. Over the years, he successfully ran several businesses – including In-City Moving, Westown Tire, Pich’s Steam, the Liquor Stores, Green Box Cannabis, Bottle Shop Recycling Depot and his family’s farm – each of them operated with honesty, integrity, and determination that defined his character.

In 1974, his life changed forever when he met Donna Meier, a young nurse from small town Saskatchewan. The two married in 1979 and built a life together filled with love, laughter, and shared adventures. Together, they raised two daughters, Janna and Krystal, whom he loved with boundless pride. In his sons-in-law, J.J. and Andre, he found friendship – and as long as his daughters were happy, he was happy too.

Adam’s love only deepened with the arrival of his grandchildren – Katum, Maddox, Collins, Isaiah, and Liam – each of which brought him indescribable joy. He was their biggest fan, ever proud of their accomplishments and deeply involved in their lives. Whether cheering from the sidelines or sneaking in jokes, he was always there – present, proud, and loving.

Sports were one of Adam’s lifelong passions. In his younger years, he played baseball, hockey, and golf – and later coached young athletes, sharing not only skills, but lessons in sportsmanship and friendship. He remained a diehard Calgary Flames fan to the end, always ready with a joke or some playful banter.

Those close to him will remember him as “Mr. Fix-it” – not just with tools, but with people. He loved solving problems, often buying things just to tinker and “fix” them – even if they weren’t really broken. His inventive mind was always at work, thinking up new ideas or wondering how something could be made better.

Adam was more than a husband, father, brother, and friend. He was the heart of his family. A man who thought he knew everything – and, truth be told, he usually did. He lived boldly and loudly, loved deeply, and left a legacy of kindness, laughter and strength that will live on in all who knew him.

As we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the immeasurable impact of his life. His memory will be cherished forever, and his love will echo in our hearts always.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contribution in Adam’s memory can be made out to The Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of one’s choice.

A Celebration of Life will be held in early June 2026.
